from the people; so, when the Almighty deal with people by this method then why should I not have fear of Him when He has frightened me and how could I remain in deception from Him?

Further he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه added: Fear and hope are the guides and torch bearers that persuade the people into carrying out virtues, and the thing which does not bring about inclination to do good deeds is an aspiration and deception and those who pin hopes usually show negligence to the righteous deeds due to it. When they remain attracted to the world, disobey Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and by not performing good deeds for the Hereafter, they remain in deception. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has conveyed this message and said that shortly the people of the last era of this Ummah will be overtaken by deception. Things happened exactly as were stated by the Beloved Rasool    صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم as the people of beginning era used to engage in the acts of worship and good deeds on the permanent basis and despite that they had this fear that they have to go back to Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

Despite being incredibly pious and preventing suspicions, they used to weep in seclusion for their Nafs but now situation is contrary as you will see people remain happy, satisfied and fearless even though they have plunged headlong into the sins, focussed the world all the way and have disobeyed Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. They believe that they have firm faith in the Divine grace and favour, and hope that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will grant them forgiveness; it is as if, the blessed Ambiya عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام, blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم and the pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی were deprived of the spiritual truth and knowledge what they have attained now and if forgiveness was obtained only through the aspiration of it then despite performing the virtuous deeds abundantly, why did they (pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی) remain sad, and fear Divine torment.

Dear Islamic brothers! Those Muslims who have true devotion towards    Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم never show negligence towards worship. After carrying out virtuous deeds, they don’t imagine themselves amongst those who obtained salvation and do not wait for the blessed month of Ramadan, blessed Friday, Shab-e-Bara`at, Layla-tul-Qadr for righteous deeds rather these blessed people engross themselves in the acts
