Reasons for fearing Allah:

Reasons for fearing Allah: 

(By Imam Ghazali, Imam Ibn Qayyim and Ibn Rajab Hanbali )

The fear of death before repenting; 

the fear of not living up to one's repentance and breaking one's promise; 

the fear of not being able to fulfil Allah's obligations; 

the fear of losing one's softness in the heart and its hardening; 

the fear of losing consistency; 

the fear of allowing temptations to dominate; 

the fear of Allah making one's self responsible for doing goods deeds because of conceit; 

the fear of becoming arrogant and egotistical due to the abundance of bounties; 

the fear of being distracted from Allah by other creation; 

the fear of being led to an evil ending through excessive bounties; 

the fear of being punished early (i.e. in this world); 

the fear of being disgraced at the time of death; 

the fear of being beguiled by the glitter of this world; 

the fear of Allah revealing one's secret in one's state of oblivion; 

the fear of being stamped with a bad death at the time of death; 

the fear of the pangs of death; 

the fear of the questions of Munkar and Nakeer in the grave; 

the fear of the punishment of the grave; 

the fear of the horrors of the horizon (at the time of resurrection); 

the fear of the awe during the presentation in front of Allah; 

the fear and the shame of being naked (at the time of resurrection); 

the fear of being questioned about every little thing in life; 

the fear of the bridge (over Hell) and its sharpness; 

the fear of the fire, its chains and its torment; 

the fear of being deprived of Paradise, the Eternal and everlasting kingdom and abode and 

the fear of being deprived of seeing Allah's tremendous visage. 

May Allah protect us.
