What is the difference between fear and awe?

Question:
What does it mean, Shaykh, "Yakhuf"? And is there a difference between khushya (fear) and khawf (fear)?

Answer:
There is no difference between them; khawf and khushya mean the same thing. "Yakhuf" means He terrifies His awliya (close friends of Allah). It is said that its meaning is that He terrifies His awliya, saying, "O you Muslims, He terrifies Satan. He terrifies the disbelievers. He terrifies the disbelievers from the evil of the Muslims, in their opinion." It is also said that its meaning is that He terrifies His awliya, meaning He terrifies the Muslims from the awliya of Satan, from the awliya of Satan, as in the verse: Thus, the believer’s faith does not waver in that situation, nor his certainty in his Lord, nor his trust in his Lord, no matter how severe the distress becomes or how far the matter goes. Yes.
