Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the difference between *al-din* (religion) and *al-qabd* (taking possession)?
Answer:
Fear is the anticipation of something disliked, whereas humility is modesty, meaning modesty and the absence of arrogance. Humility is the opposite of arrogance; to be humble before Him means to submit to Him. As for fear, it is the anticipation of something frightening, the anticipation of a terrifying matter, such as fear of the punishment or fear of the Fire.
