The verse "Only those who have knowledge among His slaves fear Allah" means that those who truly fear Allah are the scholars who have truly known Him. Fear increases as knowledge of Allah and His attributes increases. The verse connects various cosmic phenomena with the scholars' fear of Allah, as scholars are those who ponder this wondrous universe and realize Allah's greatness within it, thus fearing Him with true reverence.
