Fear
There is a certain type of fear that is experienced only by the
knowledgeable, and it is called Khashyah in Arabic. This is a fear that
is based on knowledge. Standard fear of Allah is experienced by the
general Muslims whilst Khashyah is only experienced by the devout and
the scholars from among them; the more knowledge one has regarding
Allah, the more he will fear Him. When one fears a person who may or may
not apprehend him then this is regular fear, whereas if he is
absolutely sure that this person can seize him and inflict harm upon
him, then it is Khashyah.
