Among the natural instinct (FITRAH) in mankind is that of “Fear”.
This is especially important for self-preservation, or in matters
which propel him avoid whatever is harmful or dangerous. Yet,
often fear can make a person to cowardly submit to falsehood or
imaginings and not to the truth or to Allah (the One Whom
mankind ought to fear).
Thus TAUHEED with the knowledge of Who Allah is, Islam
teaches Muslims to remove the misplaced fear of others, but
channel them to Allah and heed the warnings He gave, so that
man can seek His Mercy before it is too late.
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
Because of Allah’s justice, man must be warned that their actions
in this life can bring many adverse consequences or harm and
severe punishments, albeit, delayed or even in another life.
The fear of Allah, is in fear of His Wrath – the outcome of His
Justice. Yet, mankind generally is fearful of worldly things which
are temporal and inconsequential whereas the Reality of the
warning regarding that in the Hereafter is most severe and
eternal.
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
Only those who succumb to fear of Allah and this ultimate truth
of Akhirah and make amends and motivated to seek reparation
while in this life - will have these evil consequences averted from
them.
All Rights Reserved© Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2012)
We are constantly reminded that it is Allah that ultimate decides
our fate. Alas, many are deceived to be fearful of others even to the
extent of being disobedient to Allah. Whereas Allah reminds us:
Say: "Never can anything befall us save what Allah has Say: "Never can anything befall us save what Allah has
decreed! He is our Lord Supreme; and in Allah let the decreed! He is our Lord Supreme; and in Allah let the
believers place their trust!“believers place their trust!“

The meaning of “KHASHIYA” means a sense of “awe” which is
linked to the knowledge of Allah s.w.t. such that one becomes
humbled and with reverence, shame and dread which cause us
to “melt ” into being totally insignificant.
This attitude or inner feeling, is the outcome of profound
knowledge and realization of how “awesome” , an amazement
or wonder in our being after true meaning the signs (AAYAT )
we ‘read’ propel us to glimpse the Exaltedness and
Almightiness of Allah, the Creator, Sustainer of the entire
universe.

Our tendency to be impressed, awestruck etc. from our
knowledge and conviction, is natural and inevitable. Just like
“KHAUF” , it is meant to be directed towards realization of
Allah, the One Who deserves our attention.
Yet, because many do not go beyond the signs and the physical
or mundane to connect it with the Divine, it is possible for
them to only be amazed only in these signs. Some even deny
Allah.
