Anne, as an Islamic perspective, I would like to offer some insights that may help alleviate this fear. You write that fear is a natural response to a perceived threat or danger, and Islam teaches us that true fear is reserved for Allah Alone. The Quran says, "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out" (65:2).

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and die not except in a state of Islam" (49:13). This hadith emphasizes the importance of having a healthy respect for Allah and striving to maintain our faith until the end of our lives.

In Islam, we are taught to have courage and confidence in facing challenges and uncertainties. We are reminded that Allah is always with us, guiding us and providing for us. The Quran says, "And indeed, We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits but give good tidings to the patient" (2:155).

Your article, Anne, highlights the importance of acknowledging and accepting our fears. In Islam, we are encouraged to acknowledge our fears and then seek refuge in Allah. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "There is no fear for those who believe in Allah and the Last Day" (9:23).

I understand your perspective on fear being a natural response to perceived threats, Anne. I believe that Islam provides a more comprehensive understanding of fear, teaching us to have a healthy respect for Allah while cultivating courage and confidence in facing challenges.
