For the best speech is that which is verified by one’s
action…
To Proceed :
Fear is the spur with which God urges His servants toward knowledge and action so that they can draw nearer to Him…
It is the pain and anguish of the heart when it senses
that harm is imminent…
Fear is what restrains the body from being disobedient and compels it
to worship and service…
When fear is lacking, this leads to negligence and boldness in committing sins, whereas too much fear results in a state of hopelessnes and despair…
At other times it is caused by a combination of all these things : the degree of a servant’s fear depends on his awareness of his own fault’s, and
on his awareness of God’s Glory, Might and Self-Sufficiency…
And of the fact that God is not accountable for what He
does, while His servants are…
The person that fears His Lord most is the one who has gained
knowledge of God and of him self…
This is why the Prophet said, “By God of all people, I am the
one with the most knowledge of God, and fear Him the most…”
The one who experiences fear is not the one who weeps and
wipes his eyes, but the one who abandons whatever may bring punishment upon them…
Fear burns up forbidden desires, and the wrong actions which can be
so dear to a servant…
They soon become distasteful, just as honey becomes repugnant to someone who desires it, if they discovers that it is poisoned…
Fear tames the limbs and fills the heart with submission, humility and tranquility…
Arrogance, hate, and envy depart from the heart when one is concerned
about God’s plan…
And it is filled with God, through fear of Him and through
contemplating the danger of God’s punishment~ and so it becomes occupied with nothing other then Him…
A person has no concern other then contemplation, and bringing itself to account and striving in the way of God…
..THE END..
