🏵️🏵️🏵️ Dear Anam,

I would like to express my gratitude for your insightful article on the "Why" Syndrome. Your analysis on the human tendency to seek answers and the consequences of an endless pursuit of knowledge is both thought-provoking and timely.

In Islam, we find a similar concept in the concept of "tawakkul" (trust in Allah). Muslims are encouraged to have faith in Allah's wisdom and plan, even when they do not fully understand the reasons behind certain events or circumstances. This trust is not a form of complacency, but rather a recognition that our limited understanding is not always compatible with the vastness of Allah's knowledge.

In this context, I would like to offer a call to action from an Islamic perspective. As you so eloquently put it, we must learn to accept uncertainty and focus on what we can control. In Islam, this translates to trusting in Allah's will and plan, while also taking responsibility for our actions and decisions.

As the Quran states in verse 59:22, "And whoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him." (Quran)

In this sense, breaking the "Why" Syndrome is not about abandoning our curiosity or seeking answers, but about recognizing the limits of our knowledge and trusting in the infinite wisdom of Allah.

May I suggest that all readers consider the following verse as a guiding principle for their own lives: "And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me." (Quran 2:186)

As you continue to write and inspire others, I hope that your work will be guided by the principles of faith, trust, and acceptance.

May all readers find solace in the wisdom of Allah's words.

🏵️🏵️🏵️
