Arachnophobia – The fear of spiders affects women four times more (48% women and 12% men).
Ophidiophobia – The fear of snakes. ...
Acrophobia – The fear of heights. ...
Agoraphobia – The fear of open or crowded spaces.
So many more types of fears exists out there but what does the Quran say about fear? It says :-
" Don't fear them; rather fear me, if you are true believers" - Surah Al-imran 3:175.
So this means there is a right fear and a wrong fear. And did you know that our beloved prophet Musa a.s. felt fear many many times?But what did the Creator tell him when he felt these fears? He replaced the fear with tranquility.
Thus do you want to know which is the right kind of fear? To know this and to know what to do when you face the wrong type of fear, listen to Sheikh Waleed's khutbah. And what you take away with you from this talk is there is a positive fear we must have, one that the Prophets and the mukmin had- fear for the love of Allah. Fear of losing the pleasure of Allah. Do not fear Syaitan. Why? Because the syaitan is much weaker than the believer.
