Fear Allah

In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Extract from Chapter 3 of QUR’AANIC STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir:
102. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ittaqoo Allaha haqqa tuqatihi wala tamootunna illa waantum muslimoona

102. O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not but as those who have surrendered themselves completely to Allah.120

120. Death may come without any warning signals. Man should therefore never postpone surrendering himself to any future date. That future date may never come in his life.

Allah is Beneficent and Merciful. So, fear Him not as one would fear a despot. Fear Allah here means that one should be afraid of doing anything against His instructions in the Qur’aan.
