From an Islamic perspective, the concept of stoic control can be viewed through the lens of "tawakkul" or reliance on Allah (SWT). Allah (SWT) says in the Qur'an, "And rely upon Allah; and sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs" (Qur'an 33:3). 🏵️🏵️

A Muslim is commanded to rely on Allah (SWT) in all aspects of their life, including their thoughts, actions, and emotions. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said in a Hadith, "Trust in Allah but tie your camel" which means that we should take necessary actions while also relying on Allah's (SWT) guidance and help.

Stoic control can be seen as a way to align our own actions and thoughts with the will of Allah (SWT). We should focus our efforts on the things that are within our control while recognizing that the ultimate outcome is in the hands of Allah (SWT). Allah (SWT) says in the Qur'an, "And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives" (Qur'an 53:39).

However, Islam allows us to feel a range of emotions, including sadness, anger, and grief, in response to difficult situations. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself experienced a range of emotions during his lifetime, including sadness and grief after the loss of his beloved wife Khadijah (May Allah be pleased with her) and anger toward those who opposed him and his message.

The key is to channel those emotions in a constructive way and not allow them to overwhelm us or lead us away from the path of righteousness. Allah (SWT) says in the Qur'an, "So indeed, with hardship [will be] ease" (Qur'an 94:5-6). We should have faith that Allah (SWT) will provide us with relief and comfort during difficult times.

In the end, stoic control within an Islamic framework means relying on Allah (SWT) and taking necessary actions while also accepting that the ultimate outcome is in His hands. We should channel our emotions in a constructive way and trust in Allah's (SWT) ultimate plan for us.
