Emphasizing the aspect of fear in health and hope in illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, he says that some people say to you, "You are coming from illness."
The Shaykh:
This has a side to it: hope and good opinion of Allah are absent, and in this state of health, it is different; one should be in a state of fear so that he is cautious, as Allah the Exalted said:[Ar-Rahman 55:46] He said: [Al-Kahf 18:110] So whoever fears the standing before his Lord, Allah the Exalted said: [Ibrahim 14:14] And He the Exalted said: [Al-Mulk 67:12] And an old man in the Anfal (spoils of war) should prioritize the side of fear in health so that he stays away from what Allah has forbidden, and in the state of illness, he should have a good opinion of Allah and bring the side of hope closer. Yes.
The presenter:
Peace be upon you, Shaykh. A general state. Especially for the believers.
The Shaykh:
In the correct sense, in the sense of connection. Al-Rahman, the connection is the worker, and Al-Rahim is the one concerned with people. If Allah is the Lord of people, He is the Compassionate, the Merciful, and He was Merciful to the believer. We have not heard. Yes.
The presenter:
His specific mercy, which is one of His attributes?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The presenter:
It is not created, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
There is no problem.

But for he who has feared the position of his Lord are two gardens -
وَلِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ جَنَّتَانِSo whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work
فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًاThat is for he who fears My position and fears My threat."
ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامِي وَخَافَ وَعِيدِIndeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَيْبِ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌThe presenter:
