Is one who abandons sin out of fear of God and His punishment, and not out of dislike for the sin itself, considered a hypocrite, knowing that sincere repentance is regret for the act and a strong aversion to returning to it?

Abandoning sin out of fear of Allah's wrath and punishment is not hypocrisy; rather, it is evidence of a servant's mindfulness of his Lord, as substantiated by His (the Most High's) saying: "And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord," and His saying, addressing His Prophet: "Say, 'Indeed, I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day.'" Praiseworthy fear motivates righteous deeds, not despair, and a servant must combine fear, hope, and love, as stated in His saying: "Indeed, they used to hasten to good deeds and supplicate Us in hope and fear, and they used to be humbly submissive to Us." Fear should be prioritized in health, and hope in sickness.
