Between Hope and Fear

“What a blessing in our religion that it is haram to despair from the mercy of Allah.” Two qualities of the heart that believers should have are hope and fear. In this Khutba, Ustadh Yusuf Weltch defines and explains hope and fear in the Islamic context, citing the Quran and providing clarifying examples. He also explains when fear should be more dominant and when hope should be. Ustadh Yusuf concludes his reflection by mentioning the three types of people who worship Allah the Exalted and which type is the highest.
