Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What is the feeling of tightness and anxiety that a person sometimes experiences, especially when he is about to face something, such as giving a speech, having an interview with someone, or taking a test? Does this anxiety and tightness indicate that his faith is weak?
Answer:
No, this is natural fear. A human being is weak; he fears the king, he fears the ruler, he fears the prince. This is natural fear. This is called shyness. Shyness comes upon a weak person. Some people have weak nerves; they cannot bear it and they collapse. This is due to their nature and their shyness. Yes.
