Transliteration:( Wallazeena yasiloona maaa amaral laahu bihee ai yoosala wa yakhshawna Rabbahum wa yakhaafoona sooo'al hisaab )
"And those who uphold what Allah has commanded to be joined [62], and fear their Lord [63], and fear the evil reckoning [64]."
Allah Almighty has commanded to establish certain relationships and disassociate from others.
One must maintain a relationship of servitude, reverence, and love with the Holy Prophet ﷺ, religious guides, and the believers.
With infidels, especially among family, one must maintain ties of basic kinship and rights, but not bonds of love.
This verse lays the foundation for many jurisprudential rulings regarding social and spiritual bonds.
These righteous people, despite their good deeds, carry a deep sense of humility and awe of Allah Almighty.
They do not become proud of their actions, and always remain conscious of Allah’s presence.
This fear does not imply doubt in Allah's mercy or promise—which would be disbelief—but rather reflects piety and sincerity.
These individuals examine their own deeds in the world before being held accountable in the grave or on the Day of Judgement.
Such self-accountability helps them stay steadfast and avoid complacency in religious duties.
