[quote][size=1][quote] Brother I can not find who said so and in which contex.[/quote] [b][blue]you will find out soon Insha Allah[/blue][/b]. [quote] very hard for me to say any thing on[i]..."When you unite with the Beloved (God)"[/i] [/quote] [b][blue]Yes. Sufis are wrong and you are right. A created thing is not going to unite with the creator.[/blue][/b] [quote] how we wish to take God, Like Father or like Boss this entirely upto us. [/quote] [b][blue]Neither of the two. He will not do any injustice. Whereas a boss or a father is human, and to err is human. So dont comapare Allah with anything created by Him.[/blue][/b] [quote] So the kind of fear you are talking of, is [/quote] [b][blue]The answer to this is in the Qur'an itself. In Islaam however, no worship is complete without the presence of all three qualities: love of Allah, hope in His Mercy and fear of His Punishment. Contemplate the opening Soorah of the Qur'aan - Soorah al-Faatihah - and you will see this for yourself. For purpose of brevity I do not quote Ayats 1 and 2.[/blue][/b] Aayah 3: [i][green] [b]“King/Master of the Day of Judgement.” [/b] [/green] [/i] [b][blue]When we recite this aayah, we remind ourselves of the Day of Judgement - that awful Day, when all of humanity shall stand before Allah … naked, uncircumcised and barefooted. People will appear drunk though they are not. On that Day, every person will stand before Allah and account for his sins, knowing that not even the smallest action which he did is hidden from Allah: [/blue][/b] [green][i] [b]“So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom, shall see it. And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom shall see it.” [/b] [/i][/green] [Soorah 99 : 7-8] [b][blue]So when we recite this third aayah of Soorah al-Faatihah, we remind ourselves of this Judgement and accountability and that should bring about in us a sense of fear - that maybe our evil actions will be too great and we will be responsible for them - May Allah protect us from such a fate. Then the next verse goes on to say:[/blue][/b] [i][green][b]“You alone we worship.”[/b][/green][/i] [b][blue]i.e. we single out Allah for our worship. And how do we worship Him? With LOVE, HOPE and FEAR. And in order to achieve these qualities, we need Allah’s assistance, so we say then,[/blue] [/b] [i][green][b]“We seek Your Aid.” [/b] [/green] [/i] [/size=1][/quote]
