Wondering if in other religions , are there any particular teachings / quotes similar to "do not be anxious" - as those found in the Bible ? ( Matthew 6:31 , Matthew 6:34 , Philippians 4:6 and others ) . Looking forward for some support quotes to compare , in the area of research of the Stress management in different cultures
Thanks in advance
In the other Abrahamic faiths, there are. See, for example, teachings on Da’agah belev ish yashchenah, vedavar tov yesamchenah (Proverbs 12:25). Jewish responses to anxiety rely very much on the community of faith, as well as the individual, to the best of my understanding. Both suras and hadith speak also of the virtues of patience and trust as the opposites of anxiety, and of relief from anxiety as one of the blessings of faith.
Dear Daniela,
From Quran {الّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَتَطْمَئِنّ قُلُوبُهُمْ بِذِكْرِ اللّهِ أَلاَ بِذِكْرِ اللّهِ تَطْمَئِنّ الْقُلُوبُ}. "Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah: for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.

For anxiety about old age, I suggest qfp.quaker.org.uk/passage/22-91/.
I have dissertation written in Iraq / Kufa University, can answer about your questions, but it is in Arabic language
“The darkness of potentiality is the hotbed of anxiety. There is always more than one path to go, and we are forced to be free – we are free against our will – and have the audacity to choose, rarely knowing how or why.”
-- Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel in Man is Not Alone, p. 209
From Quran “Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest” (13:28)
Dhikr, prayer and meditation can help one feel calm.
