إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَيْبِ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ
67:12الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم is commonly translated as, those who fear their Lord. This fear is not the fear of a lamb before a wolf. The true believer knows from certainty that the security is from Allâh. The one who fears stays close to his Lord and is under His protection. His heart finds peace through His nearness. The Divine nearness is such that Allâh causes them to fear Him with a fear different from the fear humans have of lions and tyrants. He reveals to His servants that the pleasure and ease are from Him. His Lord reveals to His servants with His exquisite beauty, and the servant is afraid of losing the attention of His Lord. Whosoever really fears the torment of the Hereafter and the Day of Judgment standing before the Absolute Judge, cannot but act in accordance with the pleasure of the great Creator. “Allâh cautions you against His retribution” (3:27), He says: “He knows what is in your minds” (2:235). The fear of Allâh is a protection (maghfirat مَّغْفِرَةٌ) from the harms of our misdeeds and His protection is the strongest of all protections, and there is a great reward for the Divine nearness with Allâh (Ajarun Kabîrأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ). “Fear Allâh and fear the fire” (3:130-131) is His Command (see also 55:46).
