Fear Allah Wherever You Are By Abdulilah Lahmami

Guidance For Our Mothers, Daughters and Sisters For Maximizing Ramaḍān by Shaykh ʿAbdulḤakīm Dahhās

[Lesson 03] The Signs of Success and The Signs of Wretchedness

"O You Who believe, if you fear Allah, Allah will give you a criterion." Anfal 8:29


This verse deals with a few issues. The first is taqwa - an advice which has been given to those before us and in our time.
The definition of taqwa as mentioned by Talq ibn Habib is that you:

- Act in obedience to Him
- Comply with His legislation with ‘ilm hoping for the mercy of Allah
- Leave disobedience to Allah with a light from Allah (‘ilm) based upon that which you have learnt from the legislation, fearing his punishment.

Another explanation of the meaning of taqwa taken from Abu Hurairah is when he asked a person “Have you ever taken a path where there are dangerous obstacles?” and he explained “I would avoid and be cautious it in order not to be harmed by those obstacles and this is taqwa.”

Allah has said that He is not going to leave you just to believe until he distinguishes between those that are impure and those that are pure. He is the One who created life and death to see who is best in good deeds. The one who is from the muttaqoon walks with precaution. You walk carefully for the short time that we are here, be in this world as if you are a stranger. We should be cautious as it relates to taqwa.


As for taqwa in the Quran the command of having taqwa is often attributed to the name of Allah ,for example, in the verse which tells us to fear Allah, The One who you be gathered and the statement “Oh you who believe fear Allah and say a statement that is correct and your actions will be correct.

When Allah mentions His name then taqwa or His Punishment. It means have this cautiousness, fearing His Anger when Allah says to fear Him. If you fear Allah then avoid his anger with ‘ilm. When He mentions taqwa then his punishment, for example in these following verses:

“And Fear the Hellfire that has been prepared for the disbelievers” Aali Imraan 3:131

“And fear fire, the one whose fuel is men and stones that has been prepared for the disbelievers” Baqarah 2:24

“And fear that day that you will return to Allah” Baqarah 2:281


In the statement “Oh you who believe have taqwa” the benefits of having taqwa are that:

- Your actions are accepted.
- Allah does not accept from those who have no taqwa, as it says in The Quran: "Verily, Allah accepts only from those who are Al-Muttaqun” Maidah 5:27
- Allah is with those who have taqwa

In a tafsir of the Quran it is mentioned that this means that He will give you an exit from bidah. If you have taqwa you will not fall into bidah, and those are the people from Ahlus-Sunnah. If you have taqwa he will make you free and distance you from shubhat and misconceptions, and if you have them, you are weak in your taqwa. You are weak in your taqwa if you have doubts about Salafiyyah, fear Allah. There is fitnah everyday, this is from the sunnah. In the hadith of Abdullah ibn Zubair it says that there does not come a time except the one which comes after it worse, and it will get worse. You need this light from Allah (seeking knowledge the Quran and the Sunnah). Abdullah ibn masood said:

"knowledge is not just talking, it is that light which Allah puts in the heart."
