Be A God-Fearing Servant

In a Hadith Qudsi, there is a history of the reward God gave to those who fear Him. Rasulullah SAW said, "There is a man who never did virtue at all. The man testified to his family, 'If I die, then burn me to pieces ashes. Then, sprinkle part of ash on the mainland, and partly in the ocean. By Allah, if Allah comes to me, surely He will punish me with a torment that has never been inflicted on anyone in the universe! '

When the man died, his family executed what had been taught to them. Then, God instructed the land to collect ashes scattered on the land and ordered the seas to collect dust scattered in the ocean. Then Allah SWT asked the man (after being revived), 'Why do you do this?'. The man replied, 'Because I feared Thy Lord, and you know it better.' Allah SWT then forgives him.

The story in the hadith Qudsi is so interesting and full of wisdom. Someone who always commit immorality and never works good at all, still has the fear of Allah SWT. He still believes that God exists and will repay all his crimes, thus making him fear the promised God's punishment.

This fear made him stupid. After he died, he wanted his body to be burned and his ashes were dispersed on land and in the ocean in the hope that he would not be judged by Allah SWT. However, God Almighty over everything. No one escaped from his judgement, including dead bodies that had become ashes. In the end, God forgives the man with his fear of Allah SWT.

The wisdom that can be taken from this story is as little as any faith in the chest of a person (the belief in God, the judgment and justice of Allah) can bring forgiveness and mercy of Allah SWT. What if the fear of God is presented at all times with good deeds?

A scholar named Abul Qasim Alhakim said: "Whoever fears something, he will flee from it, but whoever fears Allah will run to it."

Fear of God can not be analogous to our fear of sentient beings. Usually if we are afraid of something then we will avoid what we fear. We will do our best not to meet or deal with the things we fear. Fear of God here means otherwise. Instead we draw closer and surrender to Him. Our fear of God must be accompanied by piety. Fear of the punishment that Allah has promised to His disobedient servants.

When The Leaf Falls From Its Stem

If any man ever thinks that any of his deeds are beyond the reach of God's knowledge, then this estimate is mistaken and misses far away. Every deed, attitude, behavior, thought, even the whisper of conscience, are all under the knowledge of God. None of the attitudes, deeds, and behaviors of man can escape God's eyes.

He knows what's on the land and in the ocean. There is no leaf falling down which he does not know. There is no grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything wet or dry, which is not written in a clear book (Lauh Mahfuzh). " The letter above g...
