00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.740
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.740 --> 00:00:11.740
Fearing Allah in both private and public life.

00:00:11.740 --> 00:00:16.149
The fear of Allah, glorified be He, ought to be

00:00:16.149 --> 00:00:20.149
A barrier against forbidden acts in all circumstances.

00:00:20.149 --> 00:00:23.149
This applies when one is in the presence of others,

00:00:23.149 --> 00:00:27.149
Just as it applies in private, away from their sight.

00:00:27.149 --> 00:00:31.149
This station is higher than fearing Him only when others are present,

00:00:31.149 --> 00:00:35.149
Because it is a clearer indication of a person’s veneration and reverence for their Lord.

00:00:35.149 --> 00:00:39.149
Allah the Exalted has praised those who fear Him in the unseen,

00:00:39.149 --> 00:00:44.149
Saying: "Those who fear their Lord in the unseen."

00:00:44.149 --> 00:00:47.149
“Those who fear their Lord in secret and who dread the Hour (of doom).” (21:49)

00:00:47.149 --> 00:00:51.149
It was among the supplications of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:

00:00:51.149 --> 00:00:55.149
"And I ask You for Your fear in the unseen and the manifest."

00:00:55.149 --> 00:00:59.149
