How to Develop a Proper Fear of Allah ﷻ
*Nothings Escapes His ﷻ Vision*
➖➖➖
Allah ﷻ says in the Qur'an
*يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌۭ*
*That Day shall you be brought to Judgement, not a secret of you will be hidden.*
[69:18]
Meaning, you will all be presented to the Knower of the secrets and private counsels. He is the Knower of all things apparent, secret and hidden.
_
When you go behind your parents back or your spouse's back in order to sin.. Don't you realize that you cannot hide it from Allah ﷻ?
_
What then are you more afraid of, when trying to escape their gaze but unmindful of Allah ﷻ?
_
As Allah ﷻ says
*وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ*
*And over all things, He has perfect knowledge.*
[57:3]
Meaning, His knowledge encompasses all His creation, just as He said in another Ayah,
*أَلاَ يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقََ*
*Should not He Who has created know*
[67:14]
_
And not only does Allah ﷻ know these things, these sins you commit in secret without repentance.
It is recorded, in order to be used as proof against you!
*وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ ▪️كِرَاماً كَـتِبِينَ ▪️يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ*
*And surely over you are Guardians, Noble scribes, they know all that which you do!*
[82:10-12]
_
The angels record every single deed of yours! Why? So that when you come on Qiyamah to deny this and that.. This will be brought forth in order to refute you.
_
Know that your illicit relationship is recorded.
_
Know that your removal of Hijab through make-up once you're away from the eyes of your parents... Is recorded!
_
So take the Advice
"Sin in a place where Allah ﷻ cannot see you"
For there is no room for sin after that.
_
And repent. Engage in heavy repentance during and at the end of the day, so as to fill your good deeds as well as banishing your bad deeds!
What better way to cleanse your Book of deeds.
_
Even a small استغفر الله makes a difference!
*فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْراً يَرَهُ ▪️ وَمَن يَعْـمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرّاً يَرَهُ*
*So whoever does a atoms weight of good shall see it, and whoever does an atoms weight of bad shall see it*
[99:7-8]
