What is Taqwa

Saturday, 15 September 2018


What is Taqwa?

Explain to your children how Taqwa is the major part of our religion and how to instil in our lives.

What is Taqwa? 

Taqwa is not only about manners..
 Taqwa is not about looking Islamic... 
 Taqwa is not about sporting a beard or wearing a Hijab...
 Taqwa is not about appearance

BUT

 Taqwa is when you miss a prayer, you feel uneasy the whole day...

 Taqwa is when you speak a lie, you feel bad...

 Taqwa is the guilt that follows when you hurt someone knowingly or unknowingly...

Taqwa is the shame and regret that follows a sin you committed knowing full well how it stands in the sight of Allah...

 Taqwa is when you cannot sleep after disobeying or disrespecting your parents...

 Taqwa is to cry in the depths of night fearing none but the one above the Arsh...

 Taqwa is the fear that refrains us from sinning when nobody familiar is around...

 Taqwa is the guts and the will to please Allah, even when the whole world is hell bent on displeasing Him...

 Taqwa is to wear that beard and Hijab for the sole reason of pleasing our Creator and to keep it on as per Sunnah....

 Taqwa is to stay happy and smiling, knowing that this world is a prison for believers...

 Taqwa is the good manners and character we practice for the sake of Allah...

 Taqwa is the struggle to better ourselves according to Islam, with each passing day...

 Taqwa is not just about rising in deen,   but about falling, rising again and never letting go!

 Taqwa is all about what is IN OUR HEARTS. 

 And if our hearts are filled with proper Taqwa, then actions automatically follow...
And the sweetness of these actions is so fulfilling!

 You are not forced to share....
 But as Allah Subhanahu Taala  says: 
 Remind, for reminder benefits the believers ✨

What is Taqwa

What is Taqwa?
The famous student of Ibn ‘Abbaas, Mujahid Ibn Jabr, defined Taqwa as:
“It is that you obey Allah so that He is never disobeyed, and you are conscious of Him so that he is never forgotten, and that you thank Him so that He is never shown ingratitude.”
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
TAQWA = The Price of Jannah
Being conscious of Allah, in public and private!
Stawying away feom His prohibitions and doing what He loves!
Controlling desires and impulse!
Remembering Allah, never forgetting Him!
Remembers Akhirah!
Enjoining good and forbidding evil!
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
What’s the big deal?
We become more humble and sincere!
We become more modest in our speech, dress, way!
We become well wishing for others, repel hatred with love!
We become more forgiving!
We become more grateful!
We have more Tawwakul in Allah!
We become more righteous and do more good deeds, invite others to righteousness! We earn the pleasure and mercy of Allah and inshaAllah Jannah.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Fasting and Taqwa
Prophet SAW said: “Whoever does not give up lying, forged speech and evil actions, Allah is not in need of his leaving food and drink.” [Sahih al-Bukhari]
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Let’s make the intention to fast not only from food and drink, but from bad habits, bad speech, lies and evil.
