Emotionalism has no place in religion

It is true that Alá (God) can prove a person in this world with certain difficulties and concerns. However, the believer not to melancholy and pessimism when faced with such concerns; He does not react emotionally. He knows that Alá is trying to him to see how will it behave in difficulty, and that the solution is not to weigh crying or sad. The solution lies in the search for the help of Allah, "Which responds to the oppressed when they call upon him and removes his anguish" (Qur'an, 27: 62), only trusting in him and be certain that Alá will hear your prayers and grant their requests. This is the promise of Allah to his servants:

Yes, the friends of Allah will not feel fear and sadness will not know: those who believe and have fulfilled their duty, there is good news for them in the life of the world and the most there. There is no change in the words of Allah. It is the great victory! (Surah Yunus: 62-64)

In addition, Alá creates such difficult moments of anxiety and distress for a very special reason. When someone looks through the eyes of faith and sees the reasons behind all the beauty that Alá has created, he moved to compassion, and will increase your satisfaction. Therefore, submission to Allah brings a sense of calm to the spirit and allows us to live with peace of mind.

Emotionalism, on the contrary, completely away to people of conscience to be in the hands of Allah and leads them to react to situations with excessive pleasure, or exaggerated pain and sadness. Allah says in the Qu'ran wavering of persons between despair and the arrogance and the difference between them and the believers:

If leaves us at the mercy of man of us taste and then take it away from him, he is desperate, thankless; But if we leave him blessings taste after hardship has affected him, says, "my problems have disappeared", and is thrilled, swaggering, except for those who are strong and right actions. You will receive forgiveness and a great reward. (Surah Hud: 9-11)

Emotionalism expressed more often in women such as sadness, pessimism and crying, while in men it usually appears as anger, the irascibility and aggression. For example, when an emotional man sees that it has taken its place in a parking lot by someone else, it will be screaming and kicking the car of intrusion. Or, if someone stumbles with him on the sidewalk by mistake, easily lost his temper.! Or, if your son or daughter left the House and forgot the key inside, if a waiter is end of bring the draft law, if a Secretary makes him wait on the phone, or if he is irritated by the traffic, said the first thing that comes to your mind. Address problems that a rational person could be easily, even without occupying his mind with the hundreds of details involved, an emotional person might react in way unnecessarily exaggerated. And most of the time, he only harms himself and ends up humiliated.

Emotionalism in men takes the form of anger and irascibility and is often regarded as the quality of a "dura-chico" or "male". This psychology is merely an amalgamation of anger and romance, while the majority of those affected is unbalanced and has a tendency to lose the Stirrups, or "they shut down the handle". As a result of a moment of thoughtlessness, which can hurt or injure someone or even kill; his victim could easily be a total stranger.

Pages of newspapers are often filled with crimes and offences committed by this type of personality. A night that could have started pleasantly suddenly could come to an end when an emotional man becomes angry and hits a friend or someone close to him. Walking on the street you can take a knife and stab some unknown person "looked it sideways." For a minute, they can be transferred to their passions and then just spend the rest of his life in prison. More important still, if he kills or harms someone, without just cause, otherwise there will be committed a grave sin in the sight of Allah.

Irascible emotionalism in a person is a potential danger that can explode at any time and have very serious repercussions. An emotional person may be angry if someone makes a bad move in traffic, or if anyone knows not search it in way to make him uncomfortable, or some simple misunderstanding and then act in the form of only bring himself all kinds of problems and pain.

A clear example of the injustice that emotionalism gives rise to can see the brutal behaviour of some fans after a football match. Assault on people who do not know and almost kill them with sticks, knives and meat intelligent. Their minds and consciences are blinded by the Satanic weapon of emotionalism, truly a serious pest in the society. But Allah commands humans to prevent Satan, to establish peace and security, not anger and conflict.

What you think! Enter in peace (Islam). Do not follow the steps of Satan. He is an absolute enemy to you. (Surat al - Baqarah: 208)

Prophet Muhammad also preached serenity among believers, saying "the Fort is not one that beat people with his force, but the Fort is the one that controls himself in anger".

Here it is necessary to distinguish between sentimentality and rationality. Anger and hatred felt in response to acts of cruelty and evil make a person more sensitive and aware of the justice, peace and kindness and they motivate to fight for the eradication of cruelty and evil, for its prevention and for the protection of the rights of the weak and the innocent. If the sense of Justice that Alá gave to mankind is not controlled by the will and wisdom, they can be diverted from its true purpose and flare against supporters of an opposing sports club. People who do not have a strong will and wisdom can not suppress their emotions and can be directed in any direction from the true path may want Satanás. In another verse, Alá warns against Satanás humanity:

What you think! Do not follow the steps of Satan. Who follows in the footsteps of Satan should know that you command the indecency and the wrongdoing. If not please Allah and his mercy, not one of you never would have been purified. But Allah wills it who purifies. Allah is All-hearing, all-knowing. (Surat un-Nur: 21)

Delinquency and pessimism have no place in moral values Koranic

Human beings are created with a nature that takes pleasure in beauty, and with a desire to live in happiness and in well-being. Therefore, it is a completely natural human desire to be rid of unpleasant situations as quickly as possible, or to turn them into pleasant ones. In fact, being of a peaceable of mind and a healthy spirit are important factors for the health of the mind, as well as the body. However, when people act according to their feelings, desires and passions, without regard for the Qu'ran's teaching, they become oppressed by sadness, worry and fear. When one has no understanding of the nature of fate, and of what it means to put one's life in Allah's (God's) hands, and complete submission to His will as taught in the Qu'ran, he is in a state of constant struggle with the anxiety that arises from not knowing what will happen to him or to those close to him at any given time. Whereas, if he lives his life according to the religion that Allah has chosen for him, and according to the moral canons of the Qu'ran, he will never experience this anxiety or any other such difficulty. Allah proclaims this truth through His messengers when he says:

... all those who follow My guidance will not go astray and will not be miserable. But if anyone turns away from My reminder, his life will be a dark and narrow one ... (Surah Ta Ha: 123-124)

As stated in the above verse, many people turn away from Allah's reminder and, as a result, live an anxious and unhappy life. Moreover, since they lead their lives based on the superstition that life is led by chance, they feel regret by regarding as set-backs and bad luck those very things that could be to their future benefit. Their minds are continually agitated by the fear of being fired and ending-up poor, of being cheated or becoming sick. When they hope for adulation they worry they will be ridiculed; when they hope for loyalty, they fear of being confronted with ingratitude. They become pessimistic when they consider the possibility of receiving bad news at any moment, or that someone might say or do something unpleasant to them. Even in their happiest moments, they live with the anxiety that they cannot make the moment last forever; their life is really a nightmare. In a verse, Allah reveals the state of anxiety in which those who disregard the Qu'ran live:

When Allah desires to guide someone, He expands his breast to Islam. When He desires to misguide someone, He makes his breast narrow and constricted as if he were climbing up into the sky. That is how Allah defiles those who disbelieve. (Surat al-An'am: 125)

It is natural that those without religion should feel disturbed and without peace of mind, because they spend their lives in the company of those without the good moral qualities of the Qu'ran, such as love, compassion, mercy, self-sacrifice, loyalty and humility. To live in a system full of deceit and harm, in which people do not help each other without expecting something in return, where friendships are pursued with expectations of profit, where even simple mistakes one commits is met with an angry response, and where everyone treats the other unjustly, gossiping and not saying what they really think, is a cause for unhappiness for a sentimental person.

However, if such a person were to live in an environment that was to their liking, it would change little. Even if there was much happening around them they should feel happy about, such emotional people would find a way to see them in a negative light. Because they view every little thing in such a way, it does not matter if the weather were hot or cold, rainy or windy; they turn whatever it is into something to complain about. We could illustrate, with pages of examples, how these people find excuses to feel dissatisfied at every opportunity. It is a manifestation of what Allah says in the following verse, "Let them laugh little and weep much, in repayment for what they have earned." (Surat at-Tawba: 82) In another verse, He reveals the behavior of the disbeliever, who becomes "Desperate when bad things happen." (Surat al-Ma'arij:20)

Another essential reason for the unhappiness felt by those without faith is the fact that their plans do not turn out as they expect. For example, an emotional person prepares a meal for her husband and is disappointed when she does not get the reaction she expected. She saves money to buy her friend a present, but again she is sad because she thinks she wasn't as happy with the gift as she had hoped. She buys a house, but again she feels sad because she thinks the painter has not mixed the colors well. The possible reasons for being unhappy are endless. The defeat of a favorite football team, getting a few points less than expected in an examination, being late for work, a traffic jam, breaking a pair of glasses, losing a watch, getting a stain on a favorite suit or dress at a party-everything can become an excuse for being unhappy.

A person who assesses a situation superficially and reacts emotionally to it cannot foresee how, if something were to happen to him, that it might in a later stage turn out beneficially for him. Consider, for example, a person dejected because he missed his bus; how does he know that that bus will not be in an accident a moment later? Maybe Allah determined he miss the bus as part of his fate so that he would escape the accident. Let us consider another example: a driver misses an exit that he is very familiar with and gets on the wrong road. Assessing the situation from his superficial level of understanding, he becomes angry at himself, his joy evaporating because he will have to drive farther. However, it was Allah who made him take that road; as in every occurrence, this too was his fate.

And again, not getting the job he really wanted is an occasion for an ignorant person, to feel unlucky and dejected. Such a person regards getting the job as definitely the best thing for him, and not getting it as his greatest loss, whereas, a person who has faith that Allah is his friend and protector will know that Allah approved the result for his good, and he will submit to it with pleasure and satisfaction. Perhaps the work environment would have damaged his health; perhaps it was necessary for him not to take that job because a greater opportunity was about to come to him.

And finally, if a person were to get into a car in the morning and it didn't work, he will, in his ignorance, regard it as a great misfortune, but actually the car didn't work because Allah designated it so, and some benefit was to come from the situation. The person in this situation may not see the reason behind the occurrence, but whether he sees it or not, he must be pleased with Allah.

People call it misfortune when something happens against their wishes, whereas it is best for the event to happen in this particular way because it was determined by fate. If Allah were to show them the reason behind what they call misfortune, and for which they feel frustrated, and the benefit that ultimately comes from the things that otherwise upset them and make them anxious or angry, they would understand just how misguided they were in being sad, and their feelings would turn to joy and delight. If a person's fate were to be revealed to him in its entirety, and the so-called misfortunes were to be seen for the part they play in it, he would never again feel regret for that which happens to him.

Therefore, the wisest thing to do is to live a life of submission to Allah. Be that as it may, it remains to be said that everyone already lives in submission to Allah, whether they realize it or not, but it is necessary that an individual be conscious of this in his life. Believers who are possessed of such a consciousness live secure with peace of mind, observing with a contented spirit the unraveling of the fate that Allah has determined for them, as peaceably as one might watch a film. They know that, as the Prophet Mohammed said, "Wealth is not in vast riches but wealth is in self-contentment."
