The Feeling of Fear (part 1)
|Sheikh Salman al-Oadah|
Fear is a natural instinct experienced by both human beings and animals. It is an emotion that is felt in the presence of severe difficulties or danger, like when confronted by an enemy who must be fought or fled from. This emotion exists to cause a person or animal to behave appropriately when faced with danger.
Fear is with a person from the time that he is born. It keeps him from falling off the bed at night or falling into deep water. It prevents him from burning himself in a fire and it causes him to flee from those who would mean him harm.
Allah mentions this natural fear in the Qur’ân when He talks about one of the greatest of His Prophets and Messengers - Moses (peace be upon him).
