Book Name:Farooq-e-A’zam’s Fear of Allah

throughout his life and at the time of his death he becomes unbeliever, he is like a real unbeliever. May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ enable us to have good death!

Dear Islamic brothers! Our pious predecessors used to weep out of the fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. They used to fear His Hidden Plan and be worried for the safety of their faith. Undoubtedly, they used to take care of their faith in a proper way. They had absolute belief in the saying of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم,اِنَّمَاالْاَعْمَالُ بِالْخَوَاتِیْم’ i.e. deeds depend upon the end. (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 274,   Hadees 6607) That’s why they used to be worried day and night lest they should lose their faith. If faith is intact, only then we will enjoy in the Hereafter, but if the faith is lost, all the deeds will be destroyed and we will have to face disgrace in both the worlds. Therefore, instead of being deceived by this immortal world and spending precious time in the useless activities or rather spending it in impermissible and Haraam acts, we should make efforts to protect our faith following in the footsteps of the righteous people of       Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. We should repent whether we are sitting or standing or walking and should try to protect our inside and outside from sins. We should perform every deed for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and fear His Hidden Plan all the time. Despite being absolutely blessed with Paradise Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ would have great fear of the Hidden Plan of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ

Fear of Hidden Plan

The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم gave him the glad tidings of being blessed with Paradise, instead of this he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ asked a question from the confidant blessed companion, (Sayyiduna Huzayfah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ) of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم about the mischiefs and hypocrites: O Huzayfah! Is my name also amongst hypocrites? Sayyiduna Huzayfah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ humbly replied: O Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen! By Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! You are not amongst them.

Sayyiduna ‘Umar رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ was afraid that his Nafs might make conditions doubtful and conceal his faults from him. So fearful was he about it that he considered the glad tidings given to him by the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to be conditional on some such conditions which were not found in him. Therefore he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ did not let himself stress-free with this glad tidings.
