Handling stress in Islam method

Today I just aware that there are many methods in handling stress in Islam as highlighted by Mr. Khairunneezam Mohd Noor in Mingguan Malaysian dated 5 july 2009.

One of the methods is what Muslim do daily from early in the morning until night. Solat 5 times in a day (Subuh, Zuhur, Asar, Maghrib & Isyak). When a Muslim does a Solat, we can feel peaceful in mind and soul because our mind only focuses on Allah (The god).

There are many western psychology doctor and researcher noticed about this fact. According to them, all the movement in Solat is to prevent hormone like Cortisol, Epinephrine and Norepinephrine leak from adrenalin where it cause the stress to human being.

Second fact is Solat can improve human breath system, heath and brain.

Please kindly find out the content of surah al-Baqarah sentence 153 where it stated that Allah will assist those pray to Him.

The second method is by “zikir” under surah al-Ra’d sentence 28.

Third method is listening and understanding the content of Al-Quran.

Above 3 methods are very useful to a Muslim. When non-Muslim asked us why we need to pray for 5 times in a day then above statements can be justified.

Stress handling is vital in the era especially recession time. This morning I read from one Chinese news paper stated that during this recession period, there are many people in stress because worry to lose their job. When workers in stress, the performance of duty also will be decreased and cause the quality of product or services.

Naked to reduce stress, this is the main topic of this article. It happened at London. All the employees need to naked on Friday so that there is no fear when deal with higher ranking officer. This may be work on western country and I do not think it can works on Asian country. Can you work when you see your female colleague naked? I think the situation will become worse and can cause sex harassment.
