Intelligent or stupid

A person is well-aware that Allah Ta’ala is looking at him wherever he is. He cannot hide anything from Allah Ta’ala. However, he is not afraid nor does he hesitate to disobey Allah Ta'a1a. However, the same person can discontinue his journey and return home upon seeing a cat passing in front of him on the road. You are afraid of a cat but you are not afraid of Allah Ta’ala. It is true that when a person is not afraid of Allah Ta’ala, he is afraid of everything. He may also be afraid of his shadow. Similarly, it is true that one who fears Allah Ta’ala, is not afraid of anyone. Everyone is afraid of him.

Who is intelligent? Is he the one who fears Allah Ta’ala or the one who is afraid of everything? Make your own assessment to know where you stand.
