The cure to overthinking

An Islamic thread

The main cure to overthinking is having توكل In Allah.

Relying upon Allah will reduce your overthinking if not remove it completely.

Simply doing your best and saying to Allah:

“O Allah, I have done everything I can, now I fully believe You will grant me what is good for me”

This Tawakul (reliance) is linked to Imaan.

The more you become closer to Allah, the easier it will become for you to fully trust and rely upon Allah.

Will the one who isn’t close to Allah (swt) be able to rely on Him?

Of course not, This individual will have doubts etc

Allah (swt) says in Surat Luqman:

“وَمَا تَدرِى نَفس ماذَا تكسب غدا ”

“No soul knows what it will earn tomorrow”

{31:34}

Allah tells us that we do not know what will happen tomorrow, so why overwhelm yourself with ‘what if’s’

“what if such and such happens?”

“What if I don’t get such and such”

Instead, leave things to Allah, have reliance and good faith in Allah, as it is not in our hands.

Overthinking does not achieve anything.

It will not fix the past.

It will not pave the future.

It will only bring the Muslim down.

But the strong Muslim who submits and puts his full reliance on Allah will be content and stress free.

Have توكل
