The Believers Fear and Respect for Allah

No doubt, fearing Allah is one of the common and im-
portant qualities of all believers. In the Qur'an, Allah clear-
ly describes the nature of this fear: a deep and genuine re-
spect for Allah that causes them to refrain from doing

things of which He does not approve and to strive to win
His good pleasure and avoid His wrath. Striving to follow
such a path shows the level of their fear and respect for
Allah:
Fear [and respect] Allah in the way He should be
feared [and respected]. (Surah Al 'Imran: 102)

So fear [and respect] Allah, as much as you are able
to... (Surat At-Taghabun: 16)
