Tuesday, 18 August 2009 How Ali (RA) Describe Anxiety Ali (RA) the fourth caliph of Islam was a question as to what is the strongest thing that man find hard to overcome: his response is as follows. Mountains are enormous and strong But man can use Metal to pierce through it However man can use Fire to melt metal But water is at man’s disposal to put out fire Water is subjected to wind and clouds and boats can be use to sail through it Alcohol drink can also affect man’s behaviour and actions But when asleep alcohol too is overcome What can render man the inability to even sleep is ANXIETY. Anxiety is the one thing that man find hard to overcome Adapted from a lecture by Yassa Fazaqa
