Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the difference between fear (khawf) and awe (khashiyyah)?
Answer:
Fear may be broader than awe; awe is lighter. In general, I do not see a distinction between the two in terms of the greatest truth, but it may be that awe is lighter than fear.
