BETWEEN FEAR AND HOPE
➖➖➖
Examples of the Sahaba
➖➖➖
Abu Bakr and Umar رضي الله عنهما و أرضى were given glad tidings of paradise.
Yet Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه used to say “I wish I was like this bird, from tree to tree, then I die and there is nothing for me and nothing against me”He was scared!
He was the companion of Prophet ﷺ,
He was with him in the cave,
He was given glad tidings of Jannah,
He was from the people of Fajr,
He was the first Ruler after the Prophet ﷺ,
He was the most resembling of the mannerisms of the Prophet ﷺ,
Yet he says “I wish was like a bird. I die and there is nothing for me nor against me.”سبحان الله
The saying goes
المؤمن بين الخوف و الرجاء
The believer is between fear and hope.
But we have forgotten fear, and have become drunk with hope.
This has led to the leniency and lax attitude with the rulings of Allah ﷻ.But look at the best examples of this Ummah after Prophet ﷺ and let us remind ourselves of what fearing Allah ﷻ means!
For we, people who aren’t guaranteed Jannah, feel safe in our houses and in our cars to sin or to be people in heedlessness…
While Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه was promised Jannah, yet he was worried for himself to the extent, he would wish to be a bird.Umar رضي الله عنه, the one who Allah ﷻ agreed with via revelation on many occasions,
The one who the Shaytaan fled from and took another street.
The one who was Al Farooq,
He used to grab his heard and say “Woe to you oh Ibn Al Khattab! If you met Allah.”
He had two lines on his face from his intense crying!So how are we feeling safe,
How are we void of the fear of Allah ﷻ!When Allah ﷻ commands us to have Taqwa, and praises those who do!
But we are averse to it, thinking it is restrictive!Allah ﷻ says:
وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ
And fear Allah and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.
[2:194]We are so lax, we resemble those who will be thrown in the fire.
As Allah ﷻ says:الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا دِينَهُم لَهوًا وَ لَعِبًا
Those who took their religion as play and amusement!
[7:51]Those are the ones who disobeyed Allah ﷻ, didn’t fear him or his command!
May Allah ﷻ make us among the righteous.
آمِيْن
