[quote]Dear gohar,

In the beginning of my post I said, “I have mentioned what read and heard from the others” They may also be WRONG LIKE YOU otherwise their thoughts seems to be more near the logic (See blow).

QUOTE: Keeping in view of all the human's major lusts in view, we can assume that fear is the tool that can be used to keep him away from these sins but Dont u think that caring/love/commitment to God is the stronger tool, which if one uses can not only be misled but would also strive for excellence in character.

You also seem to be right but for a while have a look at the difference of the results of the LOVE and the FEAR, in the following examples.

Suppose, if you do some good deed, which one of the following options will you select, to be rewarded?

1.  One door of the paradise is opened for you?
 
OR

2.  Release from the hell fire (due to some of your previous sins)?

Now which one is stronger to make you good and make you refrain from the bad deeds to attain Taqwa. If you select not to be burned in any ditch of the hell fire, then your syllogism seems to be no more than the product of your overconfidence, flight of ideas or some occult discrepancy on your part.

By the way which one, LOVE or FEAR does man acquire more quickly and effectively to influence the outcomes of the deeds. Suppose an office opens at 8am and closes at 2pm, how many pious/caring/loving and committed people like you are there who come and leave in the time to make their monthly salary Halal. One day if they know that their salary will be deducted and their promotion will be delayed, no one surely be culprit next time. So which tool is stronger?

If you know the psychological and pathophysiological aspects of the Love and the Fear, explain on the logical grounds, not merely a syllogism, to consolidate your assertion- Love is stronger than the fear. You must know very well that we are now in 21st century and No syllogistic thoughts, by the illiterate and the ignorant ones would be entertained at all. 
 
QUOTE: I appreciate your mistake…(gohar)

You may be right and if so, please answer the following question.

Suppose all others do not understand the real sense of the subject then what qualifications, trainings and thinking you or like you people have and from which institution and approved by which Government and furthermore which brand of the shampoo and the almond oil you and they apply on their heads to understand every thing same as God had said. I shall be obliged for this kind help.

CONCLUSION: I agree that LOVE WITH GOD in addition to the FEAR OF GOD is also the tool to attain Taqwa BUT NOT POWERFUL one than the latter. 
I do not know exactly how many times God says, in Holy Quran, about the hell fire, destruction of the nations, and the arabic words like “Fa wail lullil musalleen…. (107: 4)” and in this world about cutting hands of the thief, flogging the fornicator and the fornicatress and other punishments etc….. and how many times God says, in Holy Quran,  about the paradise and rewards in this world etc….. Is there any balance or any one SUPERSEDES?????? If so, what can be the wisdom of God behind His sayings to remind us REPEATEDLY with the both equal or anyone superseding??????
From the above paragraph, I mean to say, if the chastisements are mentioned more than the rewards then FEAR is more powerful, if the rewards are mentioned more than the chastisements then LOVE is more powerful, and if the chastisements and the rewards are mentioned equally then the LOVE and FEAR are equally powerful because God knows better than us while using these words (the chastisements and the rewards) to guide us to make us pious. THIS IS THE REAL DATA OF SAYINGS OF GOD NOT THOSE OF MEN, FOR DOING THE RESEARCH FOR ATTAINING TAQWA. Isn’t it?
OTHERWISE 
If you disagree, explain on the logical grounds living in the 21st century, not merely the syllogistic thoughts of the illiterate and the ignorant ones, to consolidate your assertion and surely NO one will find any incompatibility.

QUOTE: Dont u think that caring/love/commitment to God is the stronger tool.

In addition to the fear of God, caring/love/commitment to God is right but if you say it the stronger, I DISAGREE with these syllogistic thoughts of yours unless, otherwise, you prove as I requested above i.e. comparison of the Love and the Fear in light of Quran or the logical approach of the 21st century not at all incompatibility with Quran.

Dear Asim2
See please the same mail, as above. 
In addition, if you have an objection on “Absolute fear of God”, do not you mean by it?  Absolute fear of God means, “Fear only of God”. It does not mean that you can’t add the love with God.
Wassalam with God know better![/quote]
