Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Can the fear of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in the heart of a believer coexist with tranquility and peace of heart? Can the fear of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in the heart of a believer coexist with the tranquility and peace of heart mentioned in His saying:[Ar-Ra'd 13:28]
Answer:
Yes. First, one fears, and then one finds tranquility in the end. For example, when they hear the warnings, when they hear of the punishment, they become afraid. But when they hear the verses about Paradise and mercy, they become hopeful, and their hearts find peace. Yes, so at first they fear when they hear the warnings, and secondly, when they hear the verses of mercy and the verses of promise, they find peace. Thus, they combine fear and hope. Yes.
