salaam alikom
Ali ibn Abee Taalib (radiallaahu `anhu) said that Taqwa is:
Fear from Allaah the Majestic
Doing deeds according to the Revelation
Being pleased with little
And preperation for the Day of Departure
meaning fearing Allah, practicing according to the Qur'an and Hadith, being content with little, and preparing for the Day of Judgement".
the prophet
said( Be careful and follow Allah's Commands perseveringly, wherever you be whenever you commit a sin follow it up with a good act which wipes off the sin. Deal with people kindly and with good contact)
How to increase Taqwa
Al-Taqwa (to do what Allah orders and to avoid what Allah prohibits) can be increased through the following:
1 - To observe Allah's Commandment in private as well as in public.
2 - To watch over prayer, obligatory and optional. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said that Allah, The Great and al-Mighty has said: "…. The most beloved things with which my servant comes closer to Me, are the religious duties which I have imposed upon him. My servant keeps on coming closer to Me through Nawafil (optional deeds) until I love him. When I love him, I will become his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he grips; and if he asks, Me (for any thing), I would grant it to him; if he seeks refuge with Me, I will give him refuge".
[Reported by Imams Bukhari and Muslim]
3 - To associate with the righteous and to avoid the vicious.
4 - To seek refuge with Allah and to supplicate Him, since He does not disappoint anybody.
5 - To recite the Qur'an perpetually and to remember Him often
قال الشافعي رحمه الله
من لم يعزه التقوى فلا عز له
Ash-Shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah) said:
“Whoever is not honoured by Taqwa, then there is no honour for him.”
may Allah make us one of them insha allah
Wa salaam alikom
التقوى في حقيقتها كما فسرها علي بن أبي طالب
الخوف من الجليل
و العمل بالتنزيل
و الرضاء بالقليل
و الاستعداد إلى يوم الرحيل
الخوف من الجليل
و العمل بالتنزيل
و الرضاء بالقليل
و الاستعداد إلى يوم الرحيل
