‘Umar b. ‘Abd’l-‘Azīz said:
وكتب عُمَرُ بنُ عبد العزيز إلى رجلٍ : أُوصيك بتقوى الله - عز وجل - التي لا يقبلُ غَيرَها ، ولا يَرْحَمُ إلاَّ أهلَها ، ولا يُثيبُ إلا عليها ، فإنَّ الواعظين بها كثير ، والعاملين بها قليل ، جعلنا الله وإيَّاك من المتقين
"I advise you all to have taqwā of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted – the One who doesn’t accept anything but it (taqwā), and doesn’t confer Mercy except upon its people, and does not reward except those who have it – for those who preach about it are many, and those who actually practice it few – may Allah make you and I from the people of taqwā."
