I guess I wasn't taught to fear God, but to love him, as he loves me, because I'm not a cruel person deserving of punishment. Yes I acknowledge that I could be wrong about many things, as we all are. Nobody knows the ''truth'. I interpret the above as not knowing what could happen in life and to be prepared at all times. Don't be too sure and haughty and the like. Always remember, that you could lose everything you have very easily. To be grateful. I forgot to mention one thing, the kind of Muslim you are depends heavily upon the culture in which you live too.
