Dr. Rashid Al-Jumah said stress, in its simplest terms, means distress, anguish, psychological distress and a loss of self-control. Pressures arise as a result of the difficulty of adapting to new incidents, especially serious accidents, including "calamities". The painful predestination of God does not leave anyone in his regard, because affliction is the law of God in his creation. The Almighty said (And let us blame you with some fear and hunger, and a lack of money, souls and fruits ... the verse). Just as a Muslim does not allow himself to launch the case for faith in such a haphazard manner, he must be tempted and scrutinized. The Almighty said: "Did people not think that they should leave to say" I am safe, while they are not tempted ". Add to that the tension that the people of this age suffer from, resulting from their attempt to catch up with everything new, fulfill desires, provide luxuries, and adopt broad aspirations and hopes that far exceed the capabilities and capabilities on the personal level.
Pressures are loose phrases that people differ in their perceptions according to their perceptions and natures, but everyone agrees on the extent of its seriousness and the definite threat it poses to health, and it must be confronted and reduced. Surrender to pressures and constant tension dissipates a person’s energy, drains his strength with the passage of days, and afflicts him with the most deadly diseases of the age. Circulatory and heart diseases. Arteriosclerosis, high pressure, diabetes, angina pectoris, cardiac arrest, and stroke. And diseases of the digestive system: intestinal disorders, gastrointestinal ulceration and irritable bowel. And mental illness, on top of which is anxiety and depression. In the end, a weakening of the nervous system, a deficiency of the immune system, and certain death.
From a procedural point of view, we can define stress as the amount of negative emotions gathered on the page of the soul "retaining feelings" and the patient often expresses it as if something crouched on his chest and tries to get rid of it in vain by releasing puffs, groans, groans and sighs repeatedly, like an erupting volcano. By negative emotions or "harmful" feelings we mean feelings of frustration, persistent deep sadness and insignificance of life, arousal of anger and possession of the person, feelings of fear, anxiety and constant threat, a constant sense of loneliness, loneliness and alienation, a sense of emptiness, helplessness, self-contempt, and so on. There are external and internal causes for pressures, and they must exist together. As for external causes, or what is known as stressful events with varying degrees of severity, such as calamities such as death, disease, financial losses, wars, famines, and natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, climatic changes, and the like, these are all factors that man has no ability to prevent or control. All that remains is for him to confront the pressures through internal factors, which we summarize as follows:
Doing acts of obedience and keeping away from sins and sins.
Patience with the painful predestination of God.
Strengthening faith in fate and destiny. And that everything that befalls you or will befall you is recorded in the preserved panel, and that God’s will is effective and there is no answer to its fulfillment.
Acquiring skills and developing oneself in the following aspects
Proper planning, setting priorities, and setting ambitious and realistic goals.
