Description
Description
The Pious Fear by Zayn Ad-Din ‘Abd Ar-Rahman Ibn Ahmad Ibn Rajab Al Hanbali, known as Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali, is a deeply spiritual book published by Al Wahyan Editions, which delicately and accurately addresses a fundamental pillar of faith: the reverential fear of Allah, known as khushûʿ.
A work to purify the heart
This book is for all those who wish to purify their hearts, revive their faith, and reconnect with Allah sincerely. It is not just a reminder, but a true therapy for the soul, through which the believer meditates on pious fear and humility in prayer.
The author discusses the spiritual effects of khushûʿ, this attitude of total submission that allows the servant to draw closer to Allah and feel the divine presence in every prostration, in every prayer, and in every moment of their life.
A revealing excerpt
“Prostration is the greatest of things through which the humility of the servant is shown to his Lord. For he places the most honorable, noble, and highest of his limbs on the lowest place possible. He places it directly on the ground. This is followed by the lowering of the heart, its modesty, and its khushûʿ (pious fear).”
This excerpt perfectly illustrates the depth of Islamic spirituality that the author invites us to explore. Prostration, far from being a mere ritual gesture, becomes the most sincere expression of the soul's humility before divine greatness.
A compilation of inspiring epistles
This book is a selection of epistles by Imam Ibn Rajab, who passed away in 795 AH, renowned for his commentaries on hadiths and his works on the heart, faith, and piety. His gentle and penetrating pen speaks directly to the reader's soul.
The author shares profound teachings on the fear of Allah, supported by evidence from the Quran, the Sunnah, and the words of the pious predecessors. He demonstrates that true piety cannot exist without reverential fear, which is a source of discipline, reform, constancy in worship, and awakening of the heart.
