| Fear sometimes is a good thing. |
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Rahiim
Chasing Mavericks, great epic movie and I have to say almost
as good as shawshank redemption. Its one of the few movie that can teaches us
about life and appreciating it. It touched us in a way that is very settle and
natural.
One of the scene I remember is when Frosty (the teacher)
give advise to Jay (apprentice) after went up from a thrilling dive with
uninvited sharks. Frosty said to Freaked out Jay that is different between fear
and panic. Fear in someway is good for us but panicking will make us dead, also
applied general in life itself.
Islam teaches us to have balance between fear & hope.
And we are obligated to give our fear & hope only to Allah. This attitude
actually will make every person achieve true freedom and indepence, because
nothing they will fear except to God and nothing they will give hope except
only to God. No woman, man, money, wealth, power and so on that will drive them
and become their aspiration.

No, it is Him [alone] you would invoke, and He would remove that for which you invoked Him if He willed, and you would forget what you associate [with Him]. (Al An'am 6:41)
