Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another questioner says: How do I achieve the fear of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in the matters of my religion and my worldly life? And what is the meaning of the saying of Allah (Mighty and Majestic):[At-Tawbah 9:18]?
Answer:
Fear is among the types of worship, and it is a type of heart worship. It is the fear of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and the awareness of His presence. This is something that Allah places in the heart of His believing servant. The stronger the servant’s knowledge of his Lord, the stronger his fear of Him becomes, as He (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Fatir 35:28] The scholars of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), yes.
