The answer

Feeling secure from Allah's devices and despairing of His mercy are among the greatest major sins. Some Hanafi jurists have even considered them types of disbelief (kufr). A Muslim must combine fear of Allah with hope for His mercy and pleasure, as both are obligations that cannot be separated, as stated in the Quranic texts and prophetic hadiths.
