What is the fear of God? Weeping and sobbing?

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

What is the fear of God? Weeping and sobbing?Is it crying aloud, “I fear God”?Or making yourself look like an elder?Or setting out on journeys to the shrines?The great ones said: “Let your heart turn to blood,Fearing the Truth, tremble like an autumn leaf.But piety is this: for the sake of the LordTo be able to give up what your ego desires.”Akrom MALIK
