The generalized anxiety is a chronic disorder whose clinical presentation is relatively constant over a lifetime and its full recovery rate is low. Therefore, our understanding of this sophisticated phenomenon requires a different approach. The purpose of this study was the semantics of this disorder from the view of the Holy Quran so that we can be familiar with the definition of this issue, its underlying factors, and its formation process. The word-thinking method was applied in this study. The results of content analysis of Quran shows that the words of "Fitna", "Bala", "Zor", and "Isaba" are the underlying factors of anxiety while the words of "Rigz", "Khauf (fear)", Ama", and "Ziq-e Sadr" indicate a state of anxiety and inability to make decisions and take actions. Considering these words, the generalized anxiety is a kind of fear that is along with "Ziq-e Sadr". When there is a destination, Khauf (fear) means anxiety. A disturbance to destination selection has an effect on the beginning of anxiety process
