Page 41 - Fear of Allah

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)
It may be that those who disbelieve will wish that they had
been Muslims. (Surat al-Hijr: 2)
The fear that true believers feel ensures that they continue to be-
have cautiously and conscientiously, being fully aware that Allah's
verse will be manifested on that day. It is for this reason that so long
as one remains on the Earth one must be wary of involvement in
anything that one cannot give an acceptable account for. In fact, it is
inconceivable that a person possessing a sound intellect could act
contrary to this. Allah's knowledge is everywhere and envelops and
penetrates everything. He is closer to a person than his own jugular
vein, whilst specially assigned angels record even the slightest de-
tail. For a person to be preoccupied with the worthless and transi-
tional affairs of this world at the expense of forgetting the Day of
Judgment is the greatest heedlessness possible.
From the moment we open our eyes in the morning it means that
Allah has created a new day and another chance for us. We should be
mindful of the moment when we will be accountable to Allah, and
start the day with sincere intentions. Our intention however, should
be to distance ourselves from behavior and actions which Allah does
not approve of. No one would like to find himself amongst those who
when the moment arrives will be apprehended and sent to an endless
punishment crying, "If only..." and "How I wish...."
Mankind! Fear your Lord and fear a day when no father will
be able to atone for his son, or son for his father, in any way.
Allah's promise is true. So do not let the life of this world de-
lude you and do not let the Deluder delude you concerning
Allah. (Surah Luqman: 33)
