Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, Honorable Shaykh, we conclude this session with a question from our brother Abu Ibrahim. He asks: What is taqwa? Is taqwa limited to matters of the Shari'ah? And what are its areas?
Answer:
Taqwa means fearing Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) by doing His commands and leaving His prohibitions, hoping for His reward and fearing His punishment. It is called taqwa because it protects one from the punishment of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, our honorable Shaykh, Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan, for graciously answering the brothers and sisters.
