Religious Scrupulosity, Obsessive Thoughts
Assalam walekum sister, I have been thru this process of studying other religions, what I found out was core of every religion is same and Islam is the final n confirm religion without any adulteration or mixture you can say, In this process I also dealt with obsessive thoughts tho I have been dealing with obsessive thoughts since childhood . Focus on what Quran says for this – We have created a human being, and We know also whatever thoughts come to his mind, and We are closer to him than even his life-vein. Surah Qaf 50:16 Prophet Muhammad SWS on this – The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Allah has forgiven my followers the evil thoughts that occur to their minds, as long as such thoughts are not put into action.” Sahih bukhari 5269 My advice as a student of knowledge- 1. Be focused on your prayers, being conscious of what you are reciting in prayers, making your body at ease (tumaminah) at all parts of prayer, pray as you see Allah. 2. Watch intellectual lectures on concept of islam as a religion by Javed Ghamidi sahb or The late. Maulana Wahiduddin Khan sahb 3. Don’t be afraid of studying more, use islam to purify yourself within no time it will cure you inside out I promise, focus on TAZKIYAH! La illaaha illa Allah al haleem al qareem subhanallah wa tabarak allah rabb al arsh al azeem Wallhamdullilahi rabbil aalamin . Jazakallah khair!
