 Imam al-Sadaq alaihi salam once said, The believer has two wings, one is called hope and the other is fear. These are the wings of belief with which the true servant flies to the pleasure of Allah. They are the eyes of the believer's intellect with which they see Allah's promise and threat. Fear contemplates the justice of Allah and hope calls for Allah's overflowing favour and gives the life to the heart. Whoever worships Allah with the balance of fear and hope will not be misguided and will obtain what they hope for. How can a slave be anything other than fearful when they do not know if their final action will be good or bad? Yet how can a slave be anything other than hopeful when they know that despite their weaknesses they are drowned with the seer of Allah's blessings and favours which cannot be counted? The lover worships their Lord with hope by contemplating their own states with their eyes of wakefulness and their abstinence worships with fear.
