Taqwaa means to refrain from disobedienceto Allah ta’ala. It is a condition of the heart;
a quality of a believer’s heart which causes a
believer to dislike all acts of sin.
When a sin is committed, the heart which is
blessed with Taqwaa cannot bear the filth
which sin brings. This leads to unease and
unrest.
And it is this discomfort that causes the one
who possesses Taqwaa to turn immediately
to Allah in repentance.”
