The Reality of Taqwa and Its Scope
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the reality of taqwa and what is its scope, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
Taqwa means, in the linguistic sense, that you place between yourself and what you fear a protection that shields you from it. As for taqwa in the verse, it refers to the taqwa of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), meaning that you fear His wrath (Glorified and Exalted is He). You fear His wrath by obeying Him and carrying out His command (Glorified and Exalted is He). Nothing protects you from the wrath and punishment of Allah except the taqwa of Allah, acting in obedience to Him, and being sincere in worship to Him (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
