Here is the breakdown of these three expressions. Level 1 "We fear our Lord." نَخَافُ رَبَّنَا Nakhāfu Rabbanā Word by word: نَخَافُ (nakhāfu) → we fear رَبَّنَا (Rabbanā) → our Lord نَخَافُ comes from the root خ و ف meaning fear or reverence. The نَ prefix makes it first person plural: we. رَبَّنَا is رَبّ plus the pronoun نَا: our. Simple structure. Direct relationship with Allah. Level 2 "Their hearts are trembling." قُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ Qulūbuhum wajilah Word by word: قُلُوبُهُمْ (qulūbuhum) → their hearts وَجِلَةٌ (wajilah) → trembling / fearful وَجِلَةٌ comes from the root و ج ل meaning trembling with awe. Not panic. Reverence. The kind of fear that draws you closer to Allah, not away from Him. Level 3 "Only those who have knowledge truly fear Allah." إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ Innamā yakhshallāha min 'ibādihi al-'ulamā' Word by word: إِنَّمَا (innamā) → only / verily يَخْشَى (yakhshā) → fears اللَّهَ (Allāha) → Allah مِنْ عِبَادِهِ (min 'ibādihi) → from among His servants الْعُلَمَاءُ (al-'ulamā') → the knowledgeable يَخْشَى is deeper than fear. It means reverence born from understanding. Knowledge leads to khashyah. That's the structure of this verse and the lesson in it.
