The Difference Between Having Good Expectations of Allah and Feeling Secure from the Deception of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks, saying: What is the difference between having a good opinion of Allah and fearing the plot of Allah, Mighty and Majestic?

Answer:
Yes, the believer combines fear and hope.
supplicate Us in hope and fearوَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَبًا وَرَهَبًا
[Al-Anbya 21:90]
Look, this is hope and this is fear. The believer combines fear and hope; he does not take only fear, in which case he would be among the Khawarij, nor does he take only hope, in which case he would be among the Murji'ah. Rather, he follows the methodology of the people of the Sunnah, combining fear and hope. Yes.
