Have the Fear of Allah ﷻ in Your Hearts

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 16:128). ‘Inna Llāha ma‘a lladhīna it-taqaw wa lladhīna hum muḥsinūn’, ‘Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good.’ Who is Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla with? He ﷻ is with people who fear Allah ﷻ and do good deeds. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla helps them. He ﷻ helps them in their deeds. They have Barakah. This is what is important.

There are billions of people. They neither think of Allah ﷻ, nor fear Allah ﷻ. They don’t have such a thing. To fear Allah ﷻ is a great virtue. If mankind does that, their rank increases. And they become accepted servants in the presence of Allah ﷻ. When they don’t do it, it is the complete opposite. They go down slowly. They start descending. And eventually, ‘, ‘Asfala sāfilīn’, ‘The lowest of the low.’ (Qur’ān 95:05) – Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla says so about mankind. A person who doesn’t accept Allah ﷻ and doesn’t fear Allah ﷻ is ‘, ‘Asfala sāfilīn’ – he is the lowest of the low. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla is telling us so in Qur’an ‘Azimu sh-Shan.

Therefore, a person who has Taqwa/fear of Allah ﷻ shows respect to every right, to the right of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla and to the right of servants. Everything has its right. Even a house, a stone and a wall have their rights. To respect them is beneficial to people, because they carry out Allah’s ﷻ order. As long as they carry out the order, their Iman increases. Because when their rank increases, their Iman increases, and their light grows. Iman becomes stronger and Barakah spreads around them.

Therefore, we have to keep the favor given to us by Allah ﷻ. It is a favor, a great favor. If you don’t take Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla out of your heart, then you have this Taqwa. If you take Him ﷻ out, if you don’t remember Him ﷻ, you’ll have hardship then.

People can still do this as long as they are alive. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla has given this capability to mankind. If they go against their egos and don’t obey their egos, they will be raised to these beautiful ranks. If people say “All my life has passed this way. It will go on this way”, they will destroy themselves.

Whereas, Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla has left His ﷻ Door of Repentance open. A person who does that will be raised. Even if he is on the bottom, he will still go up. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla has given this chance to mankind. He ﷻ didn’t close the Door of Repentance. May Allah ﷻ show us this beautiful way and help us insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
