What are the things that lead to the fear of Allah, the monitoring of Him, the hope for the reward He has, and the love of Him, so that the servant does what Allah has commanded?

The questioner : The questioner says: Your Eminence, what are the things that lead to the fear of Allah, the monitoring of Him, the hope for the reward He has, and the love of Him, so that the servant does what Allah has commanded and avoids what Allah has forbidden?

The Shaykh : Frequent recitation of the Qur'an with reflection and contemplation, looking at the great signs of Allah such as the heavens, the earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars, looking at the great signs of Allah such as the falling of rain and its withholding, and the like, and looking at the blessings of Allah, for whoever looks at the blessings of Allah the Exalted loves Allah the Mighty and Majestic. For this reason, it came in the athar: "Love Allah for the blessings He provides you with". And by nature, a person loves whoever does good to him, and no one is greater in doing good or more abundant in doing good than the good of Allah the Mighty and Majestic. And let him strive to have presence of heart in prayer, for this is among the causes of the humility of the heart. And contemplate the saying of Allah the Exalted: This is in the first verses, and in the last verses: Contemplate that prayer is surrounded by all deeds and all attributes of goodness, so you must adhere to prayer and humility in it, for prayer forbids from immorality and wrongdoing: Yes.
