Explaining the Causes of Realizing the Fear of Allah the Exalted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q240: The questioner asks: How do we achieve scrupulousness and the fear of Allah? Such that we do not dare to disobey Him in secret or in public?
A240: Scrupulousness, the fear of Allah, and the awe of Allah are placed by Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, in the heart of the servant. However, among their causes are: eating what is lawful, and abandoning what is forbidden and what is doubtful. Among the causes also are: remembering calamities, and remembering the things from which one fears? For they instill in the servant
fear of Allah, and recourse to Him, Glorified and Exalted is He.
