What is the solution to the problem of overthinking and excessive worrying that affects acts of worship?

Thinking in itself is not a problem; rather, it is an important requirement that the Quran encouraged. However, it can turn into a psychological or social problem if it hinders a person from performing their role, or it becomes a Sharia problem if it exceeds the mind's limits in contemplating what lies beyond the unseen.

To overcome excessive thinking and the anxiety of being overloaded with problems, concerns can be divided into three levels: 1. Problems that directly affect marital and social life: These should be given their due attention in thought and resolved. 2. Problems where positives and negatives are equal: One should seek God's guidance (istikharah) and counsel regarding them, then make a decision without exaggeration. 3. Problems that do not concern you and relate to others: It is preferable not to delve into them or preoccupy oneself with them.

Similarly, our life matters can be classified into three categories: 1. Past and concluded matters: These are to be used only for future experiences. 2. Future matters: One should not be overly preoccupied with them before their time; they belong to the knowledge of the unseen. 3. Current matters: Alternatives should be weighed, and consultation should occur without excessive anxiety.

Overcoming this problem requires training, cooperation between spouses, and reading beneficial books such as "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living," along with making sincere intentions and earnest supplications for success.
