We have to be righteous and pious and restrain and guard ourselves from evil. We have to be strong in conveying the Truth and should not fear anyone but Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala). We should see to it that everything we think, we say, and we do is Islamic ¾ in complete submission to the Will of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala). We should have Taqwa (fear of Allah), which is a virtuous conduct in the Sight of Allah
This is what I meant when I said people have started taking things too literally. What the scriptures mean to say is....Fear the backlash of Allah (read the reactions to your deeds, the rules of which have been stipulated by Him) when you do something wrong. It does not mean that you need to generate a fear conscious in your mind with regards to Allah.
Allah has also been mentioned as the benevolent one. Tell me..why should one fear someone who is benevolent?Alexis wrote:Abu Hurairah (radhiallahu anhu) narrated that “Allah’s Messenger (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) was asked, “Who are the most honorable of the people?” The Prophet (sallallâhu ‘alayhi wasallam) said, “The most honorable of them in Allah’s Sight are those who keep their duty to Allah and fear Him…” (Bukhari 6/211)
Yes...the same explanation I provided for the last point holds true here too. When the messenger mentions those who fear Allah, he means people who restrict themselves from doing anything wrong.Alexis wrote:Verily, Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala) is the Only One Who deserves our fear. We should fear Him Alone as He knows the secrets of our hearts and is well acquainted with all that we do (5:7-8). Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala) says:
“O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islam. And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves...” (3:102-103)
Alexis wrote:ALLAH never said or claimed anywhere in the QURAN to be afraid of HIM. Instead, fear the outcome of our deeds, because HE will punish or reward us according to them.
Alexis wrote:"...State of ISLAM" is that verse, means to die as a believing Muslim.
Alexis wrote:A believing Muslim is one who believes in the 5 Pillars of Islam. Who prays the mandatory 5 times a day. Recites the Quran as much as he/she can.
Alexis wrote:No, because if you were robbing that guy out of his savings, wouldnt be following the teachings in the Quran. Thats why you read the Quran, to learn and understand how to live and let others live.
Alexis wrote:Yeah, but fear when you know you havent done what your supposed to. Or have done what youre not supposed to. Cuz you know you'll be punished for it unless you repent.
Alexis wrote:I'd fear the repercussions of the act. If it was forbidden, then I'd expect punishment. And I know I fear punishment. And who would do the punishing? GOD. So its like, you fear the punishment of your sin, and in turn you start fearing GOD too because hes the Punisher.
Habitual Perfectionist wrote:...being a true muslim or a true christian or a true sanatani is not about worshipping. Its about being good and doing good. Worship is just one of the ways to get closer to God. And worship is not performed by sitting in a temple or mosque and reciting some verses. It needs to come from the heart......go beyond what is literally said in the Quran, you will see for sure that the Quran too would stress more on thinking about God rather than reading a book or reciting some verses.
And when you start being good and doing good, you start loving God. And no one fears someone they love.
