Verily the most beloved of servants in the sight of Allah is the servant whom He helps to reform his soul such that he feels sadness [on the inside] and dons the attire of fear [on the outside]; so the lamp of guidance is illuminated in his heart, and he has prepared [for himself] a hospitable reception for the day which he will come upon
Fear your Lord with a fearing that distracts you from hope of His mercy, and have hope of His mercy with the hoping of one who does not feel safe from His fear
So fear Allah with the fearing of one whose body has become fatigued by fright, and who has been kept awake from his little sleep by his night worship, and who has been made thirsty in the heat of his days by hope [of attaining nearness to Allah]
So be wary of [your duty towards] Allah with the God-wariness of one who attains certitude hence he does good, who is given lesson [from the happenings of this world] so he takes it, who is warned so he desists, who is shown [the right path] so he sees [it], and who fears the chastisement [of the Hereafter] and works for the Day of Reckoning
So fear Allah in relation to the purpose for which He has created you, and be cautious of [your duty towards] Him just as He has warned you of HimselfMake yourself deserving of what He has promised you by having confidence in the truth of His promise and being afraid of the terror of Day of Resurrection

نِعْمَ الْعِبَادَةُ الْخَشْيَةُ
The best form of worship is fear [and awe] of Allah
He (‘a) said about the one whom he censured: …he has made his fear of men ready currency while his fear of the Creator a mere guarantee or promise [to be carried out later]

لَا يَخَفْ خَائِفٌ إِلَّا ذَنْبَهُ
Let no fearful one fear anything other than his sins
Be cautious of [your duty towards] Him just as He has warned you of Himself and fear Him with a fear that would prevent you from [doing] that which causes His wrath
