Fear Of Allah

The Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) says:

"The face that gets wet with the smallest drop of tear from the fear of Allah is safe from entrance 

into the fire of Hell."

He also said:

"When a Muslim shivers with the fear of Allah, his sins fall away from him like the falling leaves 

of a tree."

The dear Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) has said:

"A person weeping with fear of Allah cannot go to Hell until milk goes back into the teats(which is

 an impossibility)".

Hadhrat Uqbah bin Amir (Radhiyallahu anhu) once inquired of the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam).

"What is the way to salvation?"

He replied: "Hold your tongue, stay indoors and cry over your sins."

Hadhrat A'ishah (Radhiyallahu anha) once inquired of the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam).

"Is there anybody among your followers who will go to 

Paradise without reckoning?"

"Yes," replied the Prophet, "the person who often cries over his sins."

There is another Hadith, in which my dear Master, Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) has said:

"No drop is more dear to Allah than two drops; a drop of tear 

shed in the fear of Allah, and a drop of blood shed in the path of Allah."

It is said in a Hadith that seven persons would be under the shade of the Arsh on the day of 

judgement. One of them would be the person who remembered Allah when all alone by himself, 

and tears flowed from his eyes with awe of Allah and in repentance for his sins.

Hadhrat Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu anhu) says:

"One who can weep should do so, and one who cannot should 

 make the appearance of a weeping person."

It is reported of Muhammad bin Munkadir (Radhiyallahu anhu) that, when he wept, he smeared his tears

over his face and beard saying:

"I have heard that the fire of Hell does not touch the place 

touched by these tears."

Thabit Banani was suffering from a disease of the eyes. His doctor said to him:

"Your eyes would be all right, provided you do not weep in 

future."

He replied: "What is the good of an eye if it cannot shed tears."

Allah knows the best!
