The Emotionally Balanced Muslim #697563

A Muslim is a balance person. His emotions are balanced.

Unbridled emotions are harmful and can make a person very tired, causing pain and loss of sleep. When such a person becomes enraged, he flares up, threatens others, loses all self-control, oversteps the boundaries of justice and balance. Meanwhile, if he becomes happy, he is in a state of rapture and wildness. In the intoxication of joy, he forgets himself and goes beyond modesty. When he renounces and leaves the company of others, he humiliates them by forgetting their virtues and destroying their good qualities. On the other hand, if he loves others, he spares no effort to render them all forms of reverence and adoration, depicting them as the pinnacles of perfection.

This book teaches a Muslim how to be balanced in his or her emotional health. It gives many examples of righteous people who experience various emotions and how they overcame them and kept themselves balanced.
