Not always. In fact, I have a negative perception of instincts. They give me a feeling of fear before something actually happens. Trusting them too much can be mentally damaging. I prefer to fight my instincts by praying to Allah to prevent them from happening.
Instincts often come to warn people of bad things, not to whisper the arrival of good and beautiful things. That’s why I dislike them. Everything should happen naturally, without the alarm of something called instinct.
In my life, I’ve had instincts that something bad was coming, but at the time, I had a hard time predicting what it was. For example, when my mother was about to die a few years ago, I had an excruciating headache. I asked my husband to pull my hair to ease the pain. After receiving news of my mother’s death in the middle of the night, I realized that the headache and discomfort I felt were related to her death.
Perhaps that’s also why I resisted my instincts. I was traumatized by my mother’s death.
