Hidden Plan of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. If this is the state of the highest-ranking saint, then ponder a little what should be the level of the Divine fear of  the sinners like us who spend their days and night in committing sins and disobeying Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

Remember! Divine fear means one should feel fear in his heart while thinking about the Self-Sufficiency of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, displeasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and punishment from Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 4)

We should now ponder! Do we experience the same condition as mentioned above? Do we fear the displeasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ? Do we fear being punished by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ? If we do not feel fear, it indicates that we do not fear Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ as we should. Here are two sayings of Beloved Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Listen to them and develop real fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in the heart:

1.         If tears well up in the eyes of a believer, even though equal to the head of a fly, and those tears then reach the apparent part of his face, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ makes him Haram for Hell. (Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 1, pp. 490, Hadees 802)

2.         When the heart of a believer trembles with the fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, his sins fall like the leaves from the tree. (Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 1, pp. 491  Hadees 803)

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grant us His real fear and enable us to perform the deeds that please Him!

اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم

تیرے ڈر سے سَدا تَھر تَھراؤں             خوف سے تیرے آنسو بہاؤں

کَیف ایسا دے، ایسی ادا کی             میرے مولٰی تُو خَیرات دیدے

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب            صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
