In this short book, ‘ الخوف حقيقته وبيان درجته/ Al-Khawf Haqiqatihi wa Bayan Darajatihi’ , Imam Ibn Qudamah brings disquieting realities of fearing Allah in a unique perspective; elucidating some profound insight into the topic, its reality and merits, types and levels and cures that bring about fear.
This book also discusses causes that lead to a bad ending for people on this earth, while taking rooted examples from the lives of the fearful ones from among the Angels, Prophets and our righteous predecessors.
This book serves as a reference point for the English-speaking Muslim to allow them to differentiate between what is legislated based on the Qur’ān and the authentic Sunnah, with the understanding of the Companions, and what has no basis in the religion of Islam whatsoever.
Shaykh al-Albānī said, describing his work: “I made it a stipulation to only include in it authentic narrations, as is our normal practice in all our works—and all praise is for Allāh, always and forever.
