Question:
Among the questions that have come in, one says: When I advise a person to do a righteous deed or to practice taqwa (mindfulness of Allah), he says, "Taqwa is here," and points to his heart.
Answer:
This is misguidance. If there were mindfulness of Allah in the heart, that would be reflected in the actions. This is the talk of those who want to be lazy and not comply. It is not permissible to speak in this way. Taqwa here is accompanied by action. What is this: taqwa here and abandoning action? Yes.
