4788 Cf. ii. 38. The phrase occurs in numerous other places, with a new application on each occasion. Here, if our claim is<br />

true that 'our Lord is Allah', what fear can possibly come on us, or what calamity can there be to cause us grief? For<br />

our Lord is our Cherisher, Defender, and Helper, our Hope and our Comfort, which can never fail. (46.13)<br />

70:27 - And those who fear the displeasure of their Lord 5692<br />

5692 A true fear of Allah is the fear of offending against His holy Will and Law, and is therefore akin to the love of Allah. It<br />

proceeds from the realisation that all true peace and tranquillity comes from attuning our will to the universal Will and<br />

that sin causes discord, disharmony, and displeasure,-another name for the Wrath of Allah. (70.27)<br />

2:197 - So fear Me O ye that are wise.! 217218<br />

218 It is recommended that pilgrims should come with provisions, so that they should not be compelled to resort to<br />

begging. But, as usual, our thought is directed at once from the physical to the spiritual. If provisions are required for<br />

a journey on earth, how much more important to provide for the final journey into the future world? The best of such<br />

provisions is right conduct, which is the same as the fear of God. (2.197)<br />

FEAR OF MEN:<br />

4:77 - Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who were told to hold back their hands (from<br />

fight) but establish regular prayers and spend in regular charity? When (at length) the order<br />

for fighting was issued to them behold! a section of them feared men as or even more than<br />

they should have feared Allah: they say: "Our Lord! why hast Thou ordered us to fight?<br />

Wouldst Thou not grant us respite to our (natural) term near (enough)?" Say: "Short is the<br />

enjoyment of this world: the Hereafter is the best for those who do right: never will ye be dealt<br />

with unjustly in the very least! 595596<br />

595 Before the command for fighting was issued there were some who were impatient, and could scarcely be held back.<br />

They wanted fighting from human motives,- pugnacity, hatred against their enemies, the gaining of personal ends.<br />

Fighting from such motives is wrong at all times. When the testing time came, and they had to fight, not for their own<br />

hand, but for a Sacred Cause, in which there was much suffering and little personal gain, the Hypocrites held back<br />

and were afraid. (4.77)<br />

FEAR NO EVIL:<br />

3:175 - It is only the Evil One that suggests to you the fear of his votaries: be ye not afraid of them<br />

but fear Me if ye have faith.<br />

The Fear Prayer<br />

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar, when asked about the fear prayer said, "The imam and a<br />

group of people go forward and the imam prays a raka with them, while another group, who have not yet prayed, position<br />

themselves between him and the enemy. When those who are with him have prayed a raka they draw back to where those<br />

who have not prayed are, and do not say the taslim. Then those who have not prayed come forward and pray a raka with<br />

him. Then the imam leaves, as he has now prayed two rakas. Everyone else in the two groups stands and prays a raka by<br />
