Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Mu'adh sent this question, saying: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He neither oppresses him nor humiliates him nor looks down upon him. The piety is hereالمسلم أخو المسلم لا يظلمه ولا يخذله ولا يحقره التقوى هاهنا
Sahih Muslim 2564a
He says: May Allah bless you, what is the meaning of taqwa in words and deeds?

Answer:
Taqwa is doing what Allah has commanded in hope of His reward, and leaving what Allah has forbidden out of fear of His punishment. This is taqwa. It is called taqwa from the word for protection, because it protects oneself from the Fire through righteous deeds. Yes.
