May Allah reward you. We received this question. The questioner asks: How is the fear of Allah in private?

Answer:
You should keep in mind that Allah is watching you, that He sees you and hears your words. If you visualize this, then you are watching over Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not achieve this state of devotion, then (take it for granted that) Allah sees you.
الإحسان أن تعبد الله كأنك تراه، فإن لم تكن تراه فإنه يراك،Indeed, those who fear their Lord unseen will have forgiveness and great reward.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَيْبِ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ
