Scrupulosity, OCD, Waswasa Al Qahri In Islam
Thanks for the suggestion Umer Bhai 😊. Yes I believe that seeking knowledge with an honest intellect is the best approach too. However by nature I would describe myself as someone who is easily influenced or is effected by other views.I would call myself, perhaps somewhat of a gullible person in that regard. For example there was a time in my life where I was having extreme doubts about religion itself and I would shun and stay away from social media or any literature which would endorse atheism or be critical towards Islam as I feared loosing God and poisoning my Iman. I remember I would watch clips and posts by people like Dr. Naik and some Christians as wlell to reinforce my belief in Allah. Now it’s a 180 degree turn where I actively avoid very conservative daees due to the fear I mentioned in my previous post. However Literature from atheists like Dawkins etc does not bother me as much anymore. Seeking knowledge in an intellectual manner is an important one yes. However, in my opinion, given my personality type perhaps it’s more important to seek therapy to overcome this OCD and boost my confidence in myself.
