In our modern world, few things reveal our priorities more clearly than our relationship with technology. We wake up each morning, and our first concern is often whether the Wi-Fi is connected. No signal – and anxiety rises. Whether in an airport, a café, or at home, we instinctively search for Wi-Fi as if our very existence depends on it. We move from place to place yearning for connection, as though a moment offline makes life incomplete.

But take a step back and ask: do we seek God with the same yearning?

The truth is sobering. When the internet drops, we immediately notice the disconnection. But when our hearts disconnect from the Divine , when days pass without prayer, reflection, or remembrance , we often feel little discomfort. We have become more sensitive to technological loss than to spiritual loss.

What we fail to realize is that God’s presence, unlike Wi-Fi, never disconnects. He is not hidden behind routers or blocked by walls. He is nearer than our very jugular vein. (50:17)

Assuredly, We have created man and We know well what kind of doubt his mind throws up. We are closer to him than his jugular vein.

 Yet we ignore Him while chasing digital signals, neglecting the Source of every connection, of life itself. This imbalance of yearning is not a small matter; it reflects a subtle kind of shirk , not in the blatant sense of worshiping idols, but in giving our hearts’ devotion to something other than the Almighty.

The irony is painful. We rely on Wi-Fi to stay “connected,” but it only joins us to the world of pixels and notifications. God connects us to reality, peace, and eternal meaning. When He is absent from our hearts, we may still be online, but inwardly we remain disconnected.

So perhaps it is time to adjust our priorities. When we lose Wi-Fi, we search until we find it. When we feel distant from God, we should search harder ,for prayer, for remembrance, for stillness. The Promised Messiah^(as) says

“ if a man continues regular prayer even without feeling, in time God grants him sweetness and delight in it—but the condition is to never tire of this effort.”

The next time your phone reads “No Signal,” let it remind you to check your spiritual signal. When was the last time you refreshed your connection with the One who sustains all?

For in the end, a weak Wi-Fi connection is inconvenient, but a weak connection with God is a tragedy.
