Allah

Question:

Why there is so much fear from God? We should love the God not be scared from him.


Answer:

You are right in saying that we must love God, but at the same time it is wrong to suggest that love of God excludes fear of Him. For while are to love God unconditionally, we must also be afraid of incurring His wrath. This is because of the fact that just as God, the Most Exalted and Glorious, is the Compassionate and Merciful, He is also the Just, and Stern in punishment.

1. Dress up for your wife, look clean and smell good for her. When was the last time us men went shopping for designer pajamas? Just like the husband wants his wife to look nice for him, she also wants her husband to dress up for her too. Remember that Prophet Muhammad - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - would always start with Miswak when returning home and always loved the sweetest smells.

1. You believe in the existance of Allah Ta'ala, but you do not fulfil his commands.

2. You say you love Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu 'alahi wasallam), but you do not follow his sunnah (ie, his example).

3. You read Quran but you do not put it into practice.

4. You enjoy all the benefits from Allah Ta'ala, but you are not grateful to him.

5. You acknowledge Satan as your enemy, but you do not go against him.

1. Our Knowledge: Wasted by not taking action with it.

2. Our Actions: Wasted by committing them without sincerity.

3. Our Wealth: Wasted by using on things that will not bring us ajr (reward from Allah). We waste our money, our status, our authority, on things which have no benefit in this life or in akhirah (hereafter).

4. Our Hearts: Wasted because they are empty from the love of Allah, and the feeling of longing to go to Him, and a feeling of peace and contentment. In it's place, our hearts are filled with something or someone else.
