Combining Fear and Hope in Worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question asking how a person combines love, hope, and affection in his worship?
Answer:
They combine the two out of fear of His punishment and hope for His reward. As for the one who takes only the fear, he is an outsider; he is from the Khawarij who focus on the warnings. The one who takes only the hope is from the Murji'ah. The one who takes only the fear is an outsider. As for the one who combines fear and hope, that is tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and that is the believer.[As-Sajdah 32:16] and they call us [Al-Anbya 21:90] meaning the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon them) [Al-Anbya 21:90], desiring good and fearing evil, they combine them and do not take one side and leave the other side. So the one who takes the side of fear is from the Khawarij, the one who takes the side of hope is from the Murji'ah, and the one who combines them is from the people of the Sunnah and the community. Yes.

they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration, and from what We have provided them, they spend.
يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَIndeed, they used to hasten to good deeds
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِsupplicate Us in hope and fear
وَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَبًا وَرَهَبًا
