Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am often afraid of falling back into sin before death, so I hope you will guide me to the means that help me remain steadfast upon the truth until death.
Answer:
Fear of trials is a good thing, but do not let the fear increase upon you, because some people’s fear increases until it reaches the level of obsessive thoughts, and may Allah protect us from that, where Shaytan takes control of them. Moderate fear is that you fear the trials, avoid them, and ask Allah for steadfastness; this is good. But do not let the fear increase upon you until it becomes obsessive thoughts and Shaytan takes control of you. Yes.
