Guidance and Misguidance in Islam

Guidance and misguidance in Islam are not just about being a believer or a non-believer. It is possible to be a Muslim but not truly connected to Allah's guidance internally. Allah determines who He intends to guide and who He allows to remain in the darkness they prefer. Those who resist guidance may experience discomfort and tightness in their chest when faced with Islamic practices or teachings. This discomfort can escalate to a point of extreme anxiety, likened to hyperventilation and the feeling of being confined among tightly packed trees. The concept emphasizes that external appearance as a Muslim does not always align with internal spiritual connection or acceptance of guidance.
