We all face fears of different kind and of different moderation in our daily lives.
But some people's lives are so gripped with fear that they are completely unable
to function and end up losing their jobs, relationships and lose touch with reality
to the point of going mad.
BISMILLAH-IR-RAHMAN-IRAHEEM.Say it every time you start something, or just recite it continuously, make a habit of it, it'll bring you happiness, success and the inner peace,
INSHALLAH.
But because of Revelations in Quran Muslims have been aware of this for centuries.
Allah says in Quran: ' Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remeberance of Allah. Unquestionably by
the remeberance of Allah, hearts are assured. Those who have believed and done righteous deeds-a good state is theirs and a
good return.' [13:28-29]
Just like the body needs food to nourish and to stay healthy, soul needs inner peace and tranquility to function normally. A soul is sick with out these and the emptiness from with in the soul will affect the functioning of brain and eventually will cause harm to the body s functions as well. And the saying,
' A sick mind in a sick body', proves out to be true.
Quran tells us: ' It is He who sent down tranquility in to the hearts of the believers that they would increase in faith along with their [present] faith. And to Allah belongs the soldiers of the heaven and the earth, and ever is Allah Knowing and Wise. [48:4]
The only way we rid our lives from becoming encompassed by, and engrossed in our fears is through our steadfast belief and remembrance of Allah. We must actively seek refuge with Him at all times and have full confidence that He is our ONLY protection from all kinds of destructive and harmful elements.
Remembering Allah often and trusting Him in all things, gives each of us the ability to experience the much-required INNER-PEACE and enables us to set our worried hearts FREE from the fears that haunt our lives.
That's why 'A believers heart' is reassured by its feeling of attachment to Allah and that it finds pleasure in His nearness, is secure in His protection and thus is not confused about right or wrong path and recognizes the wisdom behind creation, belief and destiny.'
This INNER-PEACE exists in hearts of believers and can not be passed on by mere words.
So those who do not understand this feeling of having a blind faith and trust, are unable to experience it, instead they face various types of anxieties. They deny themselves the inner-peace and tranquility that is only gained through faith and they become more and more fearful, apprehensive and sometimes paranoid.
And they end up depending on drugs and alcohol as a mean to escape from the emptiness and ugliness of their meaningless lives, that have no profound purpose other then make a living,
raise a family and then die. They spend their entire lifetimes in ignorance, never bothering to know why they were here in the first place and not really knowing where they are going after death. A life spent in total ignorance,.....................what a waste!
