The Pysical Ill Caused by Romanticism
people who have no faith, whereas believers are spiritually and
mentally sound and well-balanced. This is because, true peace of mind
and lasting joy come only from submitting to God and putting one's
self in His hands. The believer's joy and peace of mind never abandon 111
him, because he has submitted himself to God, and to the fate that God
has created, and lives his life trusting in Him. By God's grace, he is
spared this kind of physical deterioration.
The feeling of melancholy that romanticism instils in people is a
terrible ailment which can only be removed by the submission and joy
that faith brings. Believers, on their way to Paradise, will offer praise
to God in these words:
They will say, "Praise be to God who has removed all sadness from
us. Truly our Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Ever-Thankful." (Qur'an, 35:34)
