is felt toward His Creation and influences one's attitudes
and behavior, it becomes idolatry. Believers know that the
Only Entity worthy of their fear is Allah, Who has absolute
power, controls all that exists, and has subjected everything
to His will. For example, nothing can harm a person without
His permission, and only He can remove that harm. Fearing
any other entity reveals that one ignorantly believes that
entity to be independent of Allah and thus outside of the
destiny He has created for it (Surely Allah is beyond that).
Allah reveals this in the Qur'an:
Allah says: "Do not take two deities. He is the only One
God, so fear Me alone." Everything in the heavens and
earth belongs to Him, and the religion belongs to Him,
firmly and forever. So why do you fear anyone other
than Allah? (Surat al-Nahl: 51-52)
Is Allah not enough for His servant? Yet they try to scare
you with others apart from Him. If Allah misguides
someone, he has no guide. (Surat al-Zumar: 36)
As indicated in these verses, the idolaters fear people
and even believers instead of Allah, a misguided emotion
that is the result of irrationality. In the Qur'an Allah states:
You are a greater cause of terror in their breasts than
Allah! That is because they are people who do not
understand. (Surat al-Hashr: 13)

Everything other than Allah is merely one of His
Creations that exist because He wills it to exist; it survives
