CONGRUITIES AND INCONGRUITIES
BETWEEN
THE BIBLE AND THE QUR'AN


DREAD OF GOD IN THE QUR'AN

« (It is the practice of those) who preach the Messages of Allah, and fear Him, and fear none but Allah. And enough is Allah to call (men) to account. »(Surah 33/39)

« O Prophet! Fear Allah, and hearken not to the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites: verily Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom.» (Surah 33/1)

Prophets, the most excellent creatures of God who preach men God's laws dread God by whom they are loved. Prophets fear no one but God. They are the ones that love God best.

« To the righteous (when) it is said, "What is it that your Lord has revealed?" they say, "All that is good." To those who do good, there is good in this world, and the Home of the Hereafter is even better and excellent indeed is the Home of the righteous.»(Surah 16/30)

« But fear Allah, and know that Allah is with those who restrain themselves.» (Surah 2/194)

Those who dread God most are the people who fear and abide by God's laws; they follow in the path of the Prophet and abide faithfully by his traditions. « verily Allah loves those who act aright. »(Surah 3/76) Those who dread God most are those who are loved by Him the most.

GOD ORDAINS THAT HE BE DREADED

« So fear Allah as much as ye can; listen and obey and spend in charity for the benefit of your own soul and those saved from the covetousness of their down souls,- they are the ones that achieve prosperity »(64/16)

« As for those who fear their Lord unseen, for them is Forgiveness and a great Reward.» (67/12)

God Almighty wishes that those who believe in him dread him. So shall man abide by his laws gaining thereby his love and affection. Otherwise he will be chastised as he will be a plaything of Satan.
