How can I develop a sense of awe and reverence for Allah?

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I've been struggling with something and could really use some advice. The only fear I truly feel is about death, but when it comes to Allah, I just can't seem to feel that same fear-and honestly, it makes me feel really ashamed. All I feel for Him is deep love and gratitude. Can anyone help me understand how to cultivate that proper awe and reverence for Allah? I've been trying since I was young, but it never really clicks. 😢

I struggled with this too! What helped me was learning more about the Day of Judgment-really visualizing it. The love didn't go away, it just became more... layered, if that makes sense?

The fact that you're even asking shows your heart is in the right place, mashallah. That desire itself is a blessing.

Sis, this is so relatable. Sometimes I feel the same way during salah. The love is there, but that specific 'khushu' fear feels distant. Maybe we're overthinking it? Love and gratitude ARE forms of reverence 💖

Don't cry sis 😢 Your love for Allah is beautiful. Reverence can grow from that love naturally. Maybe reflect on His creations? The vast universe, intricate details in nature... that always fills me with awe.

Try reading Quran slowly, focusing on the verses about His majesty and power. It helps me remember His greatness beyond just the love. Don't be too hard on yourself though!
