It is recommended to fear Allah, observe the obligatory duties, and realize the doctrine of (monotheism). The monotheistic believer relies on Allah and fears no one but Him. Fear of anyone other than Allah originates from Satan and his whisperings. If you feel fear, remember Allah's name, repeat the word of Tawhid, and recite the prescribed supplications and remembrances. Dedicate time to the Book of Allah, reciting and reflecting upon it. You may also consult the counseling department, a female psychiatrist, or a trustworthy female practitioner of shariyyah (Islamic exorcism/healing).
