The Difference Between a Servant’s Hope in Allah and His Hope in Others, and the Difference Between the Fear of Allah and the Fear of Creation

The Shaykh : And he also says:
“And likewise, hope and the fear of the Most Merciful” Hope is also for Allah the Exalted and Majestic. A person may hope in other than Allah, but his hope in other than Allah is not like his hope in Allah, because his hope in Allah is a hope of worship and trust, whereas his hope in other than Allah is far less than that. Likewise, fear: a person may fear other than Allah, but the fear of worship is only for Allah But the meaning is not that we should fear this person today as we fear Allah, meaning the fear of worship. And Allah the Exalted said to His Prophet: And He said: And He said: But a person finds a great difference between his fear of Allah and his fear of the servants of Allah. His fear of Allah is a fear of reverence, magnification, and drawing near, while his fear of other than Allah is a fear of dread and terror. Otherwise, there is no love or magnification in his heart for the one he fears, but only panic and terror. Yes, and Allah knows best.
