Is there a reward for one whose body shivers out of the fear of God or from the Qur’an?
Trembling from the fear of Allah when He is mentioned, and goosebumps upon hearing the Quran due to the fear of Allah and admiration for His Book, are characteristics of sincere believers and Allah's fearful servants. Allah Almighty said: "Indeed, the believers are those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts tremble, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord they rely." And in Surat Az-Zumar, He said: "Allah has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is repetition. The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver therefrom; then their skins and their hearts relax at the mention of Allah."
