Thanks for reading and commenting
@Vinod,
A...@All<br />Thanks for reading and commenting<br /><br />@Vinod,<br /><br />About Fearing God.<br /><br />"fear of God will lead you to fast like a saint at day, and hog for all you lost before dawn"<br /><br />This was an article about Fasting so I didnot gave other references, but in Islam anything and everything we do, we do it for God Consciousness. And God Consciousness = Fear of God + Love of God + Respect of God + Hope from God and other deeds.<br /><br />By fearing God doesnot mean being scared of God but we fear being disobedient to Him, fear his punishment, fear that he will not forgive our sins, fear that he will not help us, fear that we displease him with our deeds.<br /><br />This is one of the verses from holy Quran:<br />"Verily, Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala) is the Only One Who deserves our fear. We should fear Him Alone as He knows the secrets of our hearts and is well acquainted with all that we do (5:7-8)"<br /><br />"Say: "O God! Lord of Power (And Rule), Thou givest power to whom Thou pleasest, and Thou strippest off power from whom Thou pleasest: Thou enduest with honour whom Thou pleasest, and Thou bringest low whom Thou pleasest: In Thy hand is all good. Verily, over all things Thou hast power(3:26)"<br /><br />As humans are not away from sin, at one point or another we have displeased God, so we should fear God for if he wishes he may not grant us pardon.Afaqnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8257425619817997042.post-6188268940742974432009-08-24T23:23:28.635+05:302009-08-24T23:23:28.635+05:30i think this is a good post. it has opened up my o...i think this is a good post. it has opened up my own perception of fasting and its spirituality.<br /><br />but i dont agree with one thing. fear of God will lead you to fast like a saint at day, and hog for all you lost before dawn. it should be done for the love of God & God consciousness alone. atleast thats how it must have been conceived. I am sure no God would want to be feared. Your explanation on the recitals is great, but your own interpretation may need a relook friend. <br /><br />Pls understand that I am myself a God believer. I am not posting this comment to hurt your sentiments. some of my best friends are the followers of your religion.vinodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691587350027587112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8257425619817997042.post-8618183605602308452009-08-24T23:07:43.495+05:302009-08-24T23:07:43.495+05:30Thanks for this post.Thanks for this post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629168575364575604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8257425619817997042.post-78449024318664223372009-08-24T17:48:18.718+05:302009-08-24T17:48:18.718+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107077694877301899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8257425619817997042.post-36295852188140436782009-08-24T17:47:34.074+05:302009-08-24T17:47:34.074+05:30nice post buddy ..... sounds lots like a fasting i...nice post buddy ..... sounds lots like a fasting in Bhagavat Gita...."Fasting in Sanskrit is called upavaasa. Upa means "near" vaasa means "to stay". Upavaasa therefore means staying near (the Lord), meaning the attainment of close mental proximity with the Lord..... you updated my database thanks yaarAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107077694877301899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8257425619817997042.post-20175556030849553792009-08-24T14:29:51.918+05:302009-08-24T14:29:51.918+05:30Thanks da....
