The Causes of Fear and Reverence of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)

Our sister says in another question: I am—praise be to Allah—trying to be committed to everything Allah has commanded me to do and everything He has forbidden me from doing, so I ask Allah to increase me in His grace. But what keeps me awake and pains me is that I do not weep out of fear of Allah. Please guide me to the action that will make me weep out of fear of Allah?
Answer: Among the causes of this is reflecting on the greatness of Allah, what He has prepared for His awliya (close friends of Allah) of bliss, and what He has prepared for His enemies of punishment in the abode of disgrace, the Fire. Reflecting on this, the Muslim man and woman should keep this in mind, that he or she is in danger in this life, unless Allah takes their soul while they are upon Islam and righteousness. One should think about this often and ask their Lord that Allah grant them softness of the heart, humility of the heart, and weeping out of fear of Him (Glorified and Exalted is He). One asks their Lord and supplicates to Him humbly; this is among the causes of weeping out of fear of Allah. Among the causes of this is also caring for pure food, seeking lawful and pure earnings, and avoiding forbidden earnings. Likewise, keeping the company of the righteous and striving to be in their company is among the causes of the humility of the heart and the tears of the eye.
