The answer

The answer begins by highlighting the error in the questioner's research methodology, likening it to someone studying grammar without progression or medicine from non-specialists. It emphasizes that major existential questions require a comprehensive academic methodology, not just random readings. It cites examples of thinkers and scholars who recanted atheism, such as Muhammad Jalal Kishk, Abd al-Wahhab al-Missiri, Mustafa Mahmoud, Fadel al-Samarrai, and the philosopher Antony Flew, to demonstrate the possibility of guidance. It concludes by advising a return to the Quran with contemplation, especially Surah Ar-Ra'd, then At-Tur, Al-Waqi'ah, Al-An'am, and An-Naml, while avoiding doubts, asserting that this will heal the heart from whispers.
