Do you know what fear is?

It is a crippling effect that takes over the body…

But is fear outside or is it inside?

Fear is a word that relates to you and you alone…

When you go outside in the dark, and you see trees and bushes, you suddenly have a cold shiver run through your body…Did you just see a head? Did you see two eyes? Could there be a ghost? And suddenly, you start looking for a safe haven…

All because of some wind blown trees…Where was the fear? Was it inside or outside? What made your spine tingle when you went down to the basement alone…Ghosts? Poltergeists? Strange creatures? Or fear…

Fear induced by myth, legends and popular beliefs…Islam does away with all that, except Djinns, and even they hardly ever bother anyone unless provoked…

So, where was the fear?

The fear is inside you…It is there for a good reason…It is to warn you, and prepare you should the need arise…This instinct is the fallback feature of your genetics, preprogrammed by Allah :swt: to be activated whenever the need arises to take action…This activates your Adrenal glands to pump Adrenaline and your heart races to pump Oxygen faster and faster…

On one hand, the extreme of fear is Paranoid Schizophrenia…They say Jim Morrison had it, but who knows…

So the conclusion is that fear is inside you…That man looking at you strangely does not necessarily have a knife, but since you sensed it, be prepared…

Do not throw the caution of this instinct to the winds, and neither take it to the extreme by being overly afraid…

Take measures, and be not afraid…:AllahoAkbar:

Re: Do you know what fear is?

Well, it was nice to read your thread.

Fear is an emotion rising in our mind, when we come across some unexpected situations. Like you are escaping after robbing someone, if that person suddenly comes in front of you, you will be feared.

Now most of us have never faced or seen Jinnat, so every one has fears about them. Suppose if we were living amongst Jinnat and we were not able to see humans, and some human suddenly come in front, we must have felt fear then.

Some fears are based on facts. Like if you will throw yourself in fire, and then you will definitely burn and may harm yourself or even may lead yourself to death. SO we have fears for the death.

It is never easy to explain exactly, the emotions.

Re: Do you know what fear is?

Lajawab, last time I killed a lizard with a racing heart pounding (that too to protect my sis-in-law, since that sissy of a servant could not gather the courage to smack it with the jharo, which he was holding upside down-ijiot!) I bruised my hand, my knuckles and knocked off so much paint from the walls, wasn’t fun at all. I don’t know if its fear that makes us go all ‘heart pounding’ or if its just rush of the moment, when ur mind strikes itself into the ‘to serve and protect the innocent mode’??? I do hate my heart racing cuz it makes me so dizzy in the head. Me thinks it was the poor little lizard who was scared crapless to death. Anyway, I did manage to smack it, but it was alive when I picked it rolled up with the jharo and flinged it out from the balcony.

I don’t know why some ppl freeze in the moment of fear esp when something infront of them could be life threatening. I get sooo scared and panic like hell, but my limbs 'n bones do atleast fling in every direction at whatever the form of the enemy maybe :frowning: Mostly my war is with potent forms of insects/reptiles as I’ve managed to live in quite some exotic places of earth. Although I still think if faced with a snake, whut de hill em I gon do :confused: scared to death of that moment in life

But otherwise I do fine if there’s a medical emergency around me (Allah forbid and may we all be in His supreme aman and protection from all evils ameen!)
