یَا شَیْخُ اَلَا تَخَافُ الْقِصَاصَ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَۃِ

“O Shaykh! Do you not fear divine retribution that will be taken on the Day of Judgement?”

Hearing these words of the boy, the great Imam began to tremble and fell unconscious to the ground.^[1]

Dear Islamic brothers! The Imam’s foot accidentally fell on the boy’s foot, he did not do it intentionally, and the boy spoke the words unintentionally, but they contained mention of being in the court of Allah Almighty on the Day of Judgement. As soon as the Imam heard those words, he began to tremble and fell unconscious.

Reflect on this. Can a person who fears Allah Almighty this much ever violate the rights of another? Will he curse at anyone? Will he unlawfully take money from someone? Will he bring harm to another without cause? Will he cause problems for others? Will he attack the honour of another person? He will never do this! Rather, the one who has fear of Allah Almighty will always be wary of the rights of others. So, we learn that if we are granted the blessing of fearing Allah Almighty, then              اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه, crimes and the violation of people’s rights in society will come to an end.

May Allah Almighty grant us fear of the grave and Hereafter, and bestow us with the precious blessing of having fear of Him.

اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ خاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہ ِوَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
