Explanation of the Ayah: O you who believe!
Fear Allaah as He should be feared.
The saying of Allaah Ta’ala
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا
اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ
O you who
believe! Fear Allaah (by doing all that He has ordered and by abstaining from
all that He has forbidden) as He should be feared. [Obey Him, be thankful to
Him, and remember Him always], and die not except in a state of Islaam (as
Muslims) with complete submission to Allaah. – [Ala-Imraan 3:102]
The Shaykh
said:
‘Having Taqwa
of Allaah – ‘Azza wa jal – is that a slave of Allaah places between himself and
the anger of Allaah a prevention which protects him from it, and that is by
carrying out Allaah’s obedience and keeping away from sinning.
To have Taqwa
of Allaah and to fear Him truthfully is to obey Him and not to sin against Him, to remember Him and not to
forget Him, to be thankful to Him and
not to disbelieve in Him. This is how Abdullaah bin Mas’ood explained it as was
narrated by Ibn Katheer from Ibn Abi Hatim with an authentic chain.’
