The Path to Achieving Taqwa

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: What is the path to achieving taqwa, especially regarding, Shaykh Salih, matters of worship?

Answer:
The path to that is, first, by learning beneficial knowledge. If you learn beneficial knowledge, especially what concerns Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), His greatness, His names and attributes, and His right over His creation, and then you reflect on the need of the created beings for Him and their weakness in relation to Him, that will earn you and benefit you with the taqwa of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). To fear this Great Lord means that you fear His anger, you fear His punishment, and you fear His wrath (Glorified and Exalted is He).
And that is by doing His commands and leaving His prohibitions. The reality of taqwa is that you act in obedience to Allah in the light of Allah, hoping for the reward of Allah, and that you leave the disobedience of Allah in the light of Allah, fearing the punishment of Allah. Yes. Ah. May Allah reward you.
