Achieving Taqwa Through Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, the word taqwa (mindfulness of Allah) recurs in verses and in multiple surahs. How is taqwa achieved in fasting?
Answer:
Taqwa of Allah in every deed among the righteous deeds is something the Muslim must perform, and he must fear Allah in maintaining them and in occupying them with what benefits him with Allah the Exalted, and not occupy his time with laziness and sleep. Staying up at night for no purpose, or perhaps for sin or wasting time, the Muslim must be alert to that, yes.
