Hope and Fear: The Two Wings of the Soul
A Reflection on Rajā' and KhawfBy Aira Aurora
Length1h 15m
About this audiobook
The soul in the Qur'an is called to walk a path. The path has two sides — a right side and a left side, a rising and a falling, a reaching and a retreating. The soul that walks only one side does not walk straight. The soul that hopes without fearing becomes complacent. The soul that fears without hoping becomes paralyzed. The straight path is the path between — the path of the one who hopes in Allah's mercy and fears His justice, the one who reaches toward the Garden and retreats from the Fire, the one who loves Allah and is mindful of Him at the same time.
