Momin Kabhi Allah Se Bay Khof Nahi Hota

In this bayan, Hazrat Maulana Mehboob Elahi Sahab Damat barakatuhum explained that taqwa and the fear of Allah are the foundation of all goodness in a believer’s life.

He described iman as a balance between hope and fear. A Muslim should never become so fearful that they lose hope in Allah’s mercy, nor so hopeful that they become careless and fall into sin.

This balance keeps a person grounded and sincere.

He clarified that the fear of Allah, known as khashiyat, is very different from ordinary fear. It is not like fearing a harmful enemy. Instead, it comes from love and respect for Allah, along with a deep concern of displeasing Him.

A believer fears losing Allah’s رضا, not because of hatred, but because of محبت. (love)

He further explained that this خوفِ خدا shapes a person’s character. When someone truly fears Allah, they remain just and honest in every situation, whether at home, at work, or in society.

Even when no one is watching, they stay away from sin. But when this fear is absent, a person easily crosses limits the moment they feel unaccountable.
