Book Name:Farooq-e-A’zam’s Fear of Allah
Persuading us after narrating this blessed Ayah, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه has stated: I wish that we could get rid of heedlessness for the sake of this blessed Ayah and be blessed with fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in a proper manner along with the hope for mercy! I wish that we could feel the instability of this world in a real manner; we could have the fear of bad end and the fear of the anger of our Lord عَزَّوَجَلَّ!

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Guidance and mercy for those who fear their Lord.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
