POWERFUL: This is the true meaning of FEAR ALLAH - Mufti Menk

How can we fear Allah, may He be glorified and exalted?
Praise be to Allah
Firstly:
Fear of Allah, may He be exalted, is obligatory for everyone, and no one can be guaranteed safety from Allah’s punishment except by fearing Him. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“so fear them not, but fear Me, if you are (true) believers”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:175]
“Therefore fear not men but fear Me”
[al-Maa’idah 5:44]
“and fear none but Me”
[al-Baqarah 2:40].
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says: ‘By My might, I will not let My slave suffer from fear in two realms or feel safe in two realms. If he feels safe from Me in this world, I will make him feel fear on the Day of Resurrection, but if he fears Me in this world, I will make him feel safe on the Day of Resurrection.’”
Narrated by Ibn al-Mubaarak ibn az-Zuhd (157); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in as-Saheehah (742).
Secondly:
How can we fear Allah, may He be glorified and exalted? What must we do in order to attain this status?
How can one who loves Allah, may He be exalted, develop fear of Him?
There are Islamically prescribed means of attaining that, and deeds of the heart that lead to it, of which we will mention whatever we are able to, in sha Allah, so that every Muslim who reads them may develop fear of his Lord and fear of His punishment, and his fear may lead him to think positively of Allah, may He be glorified. These means include the following:
· Reading Qur’an and reflecting on its meanings
Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say (O Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) to them): ‘Believe in it (the Quran) or do not believe (in it). Verily! Those who were given knowledge before it (the Jews and the Christians like Abdullah bin Salam and Salman Al-Farisee), when it is recited to them, fall down on their faces in humble prostration.’
And they say: ‘Glory be to our Lord! Truly, the Promise of our Lord must be fulfilled.’
And they fall down on their faces weeping and it adds to their humility”
[al-Isra’ 17:107-109]
“Those were they unto whom Allah bestowed His Grace from among the Prophets, of the offspring of Adam, and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Nooh (Noah), and of the offspring of Ibrahim (Abraham) and Israel and from among those whom We guided and chose. When the Verses of the Most Beneficent (Allah) were recited unto them, they fell down prostrating and weeping”
[Maryam 19:58].
· Calling to mind how serious and terrifying the matter of sin is
Al-Bukhaari (6308) narrated that Ibn Mas‘ood (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The believer regards his sins as if he is sitting beneath a mountain that he fears will fall on him, and the evildoer regards his sins as flies that pass in front of his nose and he does like this to them [waving them away with his hand].”
· Fearing Allah, may He be exalted, by doing acts of obedience and worship, and refraining from evil deeds and prohibited things
This will instil fear in the heart and revive hearts after they had been (spiritually) dead; it will fill them with love of Allah, the desire to seek His pleasure, and fear of His wrath.
· Respecting the sacred limits of Allah
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The level of fear that is praiseworthy and appropriate is that which prevents a person from transgressing the sacred limits of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted; if the fear passes that limit, there is the risk that it will led to despair and despondency.
Abu ‘Uthmaan said: True fear is that which makes a person refrain from sins both outward and inward.
I heard Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah sanctify his soul) say: Praiseworthy fear is that which keeps you from transgressing the sacred limits of Allah.

The word 'Allah' was derived from the letters 'l l h' pronounced as 'e lee elu iho' meaning 'look up to the Divine Light. This is an ancient language called Igbo language. Muslim scholars vowelized the letters 'l l h' to get Allah.

Fear born out of tremendous love ❤️

Wow Ma Sha Allah

[@Core-kh8hs]

An interesting answer to this question. I always thought that the very element of fearing Allah was fearing his anger. Fearing the anger that would come from the one source of everything, the master of everything and the lord of everything. Mufti Menk preaches roughly the same thing as I used to believe, but this video has brought me a step closer to understanding my creator. Great video DEENETWORK, keep it up.

I guess you still did not understand the actual meaning of fear (not being rude). Please listen to the video again carefully , anger is also not the main focus of fear. The main focus of fear is losing Allah , whom you dearly love.
