The Causes of Firming the Fear and Awe of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah the Exalted reward you with good. This questioner says: How do I, or how do I try to, firm the fear and awe of Allah the Mighty and Majestic in my heart?
The Shaykh:
How, what?
The questioner:
Or what are the causes that help me in firming the fear and awe of Allah the Mighty and Majestic?
The Shaykh:
The causes are that you avoid the distractions that occupy you from worship, so you enter into worship with a clear mind, having no worries or confusions. This is one aspect. The second aspect is that you keep in mind the greatness of Allah the Mighty and Majestic and remember the resurrection, the rising, the recompense, and the Reckoning; at that time you become humble and fear Allah the Mighty and Majestic. You keep in mind the greatness of Allah and remember. The third aspect is that you reflect upon the Qur'an that you read or hear from the imam, reflecting upon it with the presence of the heart; will that not benefit you with fear, by the permission of Allah? Yes.
