As the Moslem must be risen the fear of Allah in pacing through the worldly life therefore we should remember what a righteous man said;
“I once sat in the gathering of a preacher who spoke so well and with such eloquence that he moved everyone that was present into tears.
Upon hearing the preacher mention the Hellfire and the punishment that Allah (‘Azza wa-jal) prepared for those who disobey Him - A Young man who was present let out a loud cry;
‘Alas, my grief that I was undutiful to Allah. I have wasted my life, forgotten my death, and done little in terms of good deeds.’
He then faced the Qiblah and said, ‘O Allah, I turn towards You this day (and this moment), repenting to You with a repentance that is not tainted by a desire for anyone other than You to see me worshipping You. So accept, in spite of my shortcomings. Forgive me and have mercy on me in my loneliness. My God, to You do I return with all of my limbs, sincerely from my heart. Utter ruin will be my lot if you do not accept me.’Sufyaan ath-Thawree- rahimahullaah – wrote to ’Abbaad Ibn ’Abbaad al-Khawwaas al-Arsoofee - rahimahullaah – saying,
“To proceed: You are in a time which the Companions of the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) used to seek refuge from reaching, and they had the knowledge that we do not have, and they had precedence which we do no. So how is it for us, when we reach that, having little knowledge, little patience, few helpers upon what is good, corruption of the people and pollution of this world?! So take to the original state of affairs and cling to it. I advise you to remain unknown, since this is the age for remaining anonymous (khumool). And remain aloof and mix little with the people, since before, when the people met, they would benefit from each other. But today that has gone and your safety – in our view – lies in abandoning them.
Beware of the Rulers. Beware of coming near to them and of mixing with them in any of the affairs. Beware of being deceived, so that it said to you: Intercede [for me], so that you help one oppressed, or repel an act of oppression – because that is from the deception of Iblees, which the wicked reciters have taken as a means to attain a favorable position. It used to be said: Beware of the fitnah (trial) of the ignorant worshipper and the wicked scholar, because the trial of these two is indeed a trial for everyone put to trial.
If you find questions and need for fatwaa, then take advantage of it – but do not compete desirously for it. And beware of being like the one who loves that his saying is acted upon, or that his saying is publicized or listened to, and if that is abandoned, the effects of that are seen upon him.
And beware of the love of leadership, since leadership may be more beloved to a man than gold and silver – but it is something difficult and obscure; and this will not be understood except by wise Scholars. So seek after your lost soul and work with correct intention and know that there has come near to the people a matter which a person would be desirous of death.
He then fell down unconscious. We tried to move him, but he wouldn’t budge he was dead. May Allah have mercy on him.”
Al Qaasim Ibn Muhammed said: "We used to travel with Abdullah ibn al Mubarak alot. I used to think to myself, how has this man been given a better status than us and become more famous than us? If he used to pray, then so did we. And if he used to fast, so did we. And if he used to do Jihad, so did we. And if he used to go on hajj, so did we....One night we were travelling through ash-shaam and stayed in a house overnight. Suddenly the light went out, so some of us went in search of someone to relight the lantern. After a while they came back and relighted the fire. I looked to the face of Ibn al Mubarak and saw that his beard was soaked in tears. Then i said to myself, It is by this fear of his of Allah that makes him better than us. When the light went out and became dark he most likely remembered the Qiyaamah".
al Marwazi said to Imam Ahmed: "How did you wake up today? So he replied: "How would one wake up, who's Lord is demanding him to fulfill the obligations, and his Prophet is demanding him to fulfill his sunnah, and the two Angels are demanding him to to correct his actions, and his soul is urging him to follow his desires, and the devil is demanding him to commit illicit deeds and the Angel of death is waiting to take his soul, and his family is demanding to be clothed and fed!"

In the hadith Qudsee Allah Says :
Let not any one of you belittle himself. They said: O Messenger of Allah, how can any one of us belittle himself? He said: He finds a matter concerning Allah about which he should say something, and he does not say [it], so Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says to him on the Day of Resurrection: What prevented you from saying something about such-and-such and such-and-such? He say: [It was] out of fear of people. Then He says: Rather it is I whom you should more properly fear.
Allah's Messenger 
said to him, "Fear Allah wherever you are; if you follow an evil deed with a good one you will obliterate it; and deal with people with a good disposition."
said to him, "Fear Allah wherever you are; if you follow an evil deed with a good one you will obliterate it; and deal with people with a good disposition." Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Darimi
`Abdullah ibn Mubarak said, "O man! Prepare yourself for the Hereafter, obey Allah to the extent of your need for Him and anger Him to the extent of your patience in Hell." Abu Safwan ar-Ru`wini was asked: "What is that life dispraised by Allah in the Qur'an and that the sensible man should avoid?" He said: "Whatever you love in this life seeking worldly benefits is dispraised, and whatever you love seeking benefits in the Hereafter is praised."
Yahya ibn Mu`adh said, "O how poor is man, if he fears Hell in the same degree of his fearing poverty, then he will enter Paradise."
Ali ibn Al-Fudayl said: "I heard my father saying to Ibn Al-Mubarak: You order us to renounce the worldly pleasures and to be satisfied with the minimum, whereas you are buying goods, so what is that?" He said: "I do that to protect my face and my honour, and this helps me obey my Rabb." My father said: "How good is that if realised."
An ascetic said: "I know none who has heard of Paradise and Hell, then spends an hour of his life without praying, remembering Allah or doing a good deed." A man said: "I weep so much." He said to him: "To laugh and admit your sins is better than to weep and feel proud of your deeds." The man said: "I need your advice." He said: "Abandon the life of this world to its people as they have abandoned the Hereafter to its people."
Shumait ibn `Ajlan used to say: "Two persons are tormented in the life of this world: a rich man who is given a great wealth that keeps him so busy with worldly pleasures, and a poor man who is deprived of such pleasures for which he is longing with a heartbreak."
Al-Hasan said: "How good is life in this world for a believer because he uses it to prepare his provisions for Paradise. And how evil it is for a disbeliever who uses it to prepare his provisions for Hell."
Yahya ibn Mu`adh said: "The life of this world is a house of deeds and the Hereafter is a house of horrors. Man remains between deeds and horrors until he settles either in Paradise or in Hell."
One of the salaf said: "Beware of the life of this world because its magic is more effective than that of Harut and Marut. The two latter's separate a man from his wife whereas the life of this world separates a man from his Rabb."
Abu Dardaa' said: "Everyone has an imperfection of knowledge and wisdom, if his wealth increases, he becomes so happy though day and night are working hard on destroying his life-span. So what is good of a wealth that increases and a life-span that decreases."
Al-Hasan al-Basri said: "I am astonished about those people who are ordered to prepare their provisions, then the start of the journey is announced, however they remain unmindful in their vain discussions and fruitless deeds."
A man came to Sufyan ath-Thawree seeking his advice, and he said to the man: "Work for the sake of this life within the extent of your stay in it, and for the Hereafter within the extent of your stay therein."
Al-Fudayl ibn `Ayyad said: "Man's fear of Allah is equal to his knowledge of Him and his renunciation of worldly pleasures is equal to his desire in the Hereafter."
Salman ibn Dinar said: "What you love to have with you in the Hereafter you should advance today, and what you hate to have with you, you should abandon today."
A poet said: "Don't seek anything other than contentment, because therein is the bliss and the comfort of your body. Then consider the case of a person who possesses the whole world, can he take with him in the grave more than cotton and a shroud?"
“Do not argue with your Lord on behalf of your soul, rather argue with your soul on behalf of your Lord.” - Dhul-Nun
