What is taqw

[jameelash]

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*_ [emoji92]

[MazharShafiq]

A Muslim should ask Allah to grant him taqwa, because the Prophet (PBUH) himself used to do so. Abdullah ibn Masud narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) used to say:-“O Allah I ask you for guidance, taqwa (piety and fearing Allah), abstinence and independence of means.”-(Muslim 2721).

Abstaining from sinning is the most essential part of taqwa
