64:11
Where it is permissible to fear God, the fear of others is not permissible. If we fear others, then it implies that (God forbid) a calamity can befall us without His permission (idhn), while this is contrary to Qur’anic teachings. See for instance the subject of “permission of God (idhnu'llah)” in this verse: “No calamity befalls save by God's permission. And whosoever believes in God, He guides his heart” (64:11). It is evident from this that to fear other than God, is to associate someone with Him (shirk). Thus in order to receive the guidance of the heart (or inner guidance) and to observe the spirituality of the fear of God, it is necessary to progress in the levels of faith.
