These days everyone complains of stress. This situation has produced experts in de-stressing, but these experts have only complicated the problem. One common solution for destressing is to take a break from work and go sightseeing. This formula has increased tourism, but it has totally failed to make people free of stress. There is the widespread notion that the holiday culture has only added a new item to the list of stressful things and that is holiday stress. Why this failure to manage stress? The real problem is that modern day stress is intellectual in nature, while people are trying physical means to de-stress themselves. The nature of the present problem entails that we find an intellectual solution. In this regard the Quran has this to say: “Those who believe and whose hearts find comfort in the remembrance of God—surely in the remembrance of God hearts can find comfort.” (13: 9)
