[@mine3693]

jazak Allah Khair anxiety or 'Halaa' starts with the letter Ha which indicates a degree of unknown. and the word in Arabic, is very much your relation to the unknown that brings down your perspective ( letter Ain at the end). Security is about defining expectations and outcomes, and requires putting everything in limited boxes: schedules, costs, people, verses or Allah. Beyond known limits, models, or characteristics, an atheist would rush to a materialization, most probably by fear of the unknown and not for the sake of constructive knowledge. On the other hand the Moumineens have their trust in Allah, they accept that unknowns are to be expected and still make their way through .. some of them have traces on earth that are like white lines where water made its way with sedimentary red lines or a profound black that curves lines of light all around it to see beyond the horizon.

But the females who are engrossed in far worse, it's better for them to meet and benefit from the company of Mashaykh. The Mashyakh only can handle it, not us laymen.
