Al-Quran

Taqwa Meaning :

Often, it is translated as “Fear of God”, and while fearing Allah is part of Taqwa, its meaning is deeper than this.

The linguistic meaning of Taqwa is “a shield or protective barrier”. It is to protect oneself from what angers Allah. Some scholars define Taqwa as placing a protective barrier between yourself and Allah’s punishment. Taqwa also means doing that which Allah has enjoined and avoiding that which He has forbidden.

Ibn Abbas said about,
هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ
(guidance for theMuttaqin) that it means,

“They are the believers who avoid Shirk with Allah and who work in His obedience.”

Ibn Abbas also said thatAl-Muttaqinmeans,

“Those who fear Allah’s punishment, which would result if they abandoned the true guidance that they recognize and know. They also hope in Allah’s mercy by believing in what He revealed.”

وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَدْهَمَ: هِيَ فِي الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ بِمَا يَعْلَمُونَ. .” وَنَزَعَ بعض العلماء إلى قوله

 وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ۗ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ اللّٰهُ ۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ  ( البقرة: ٢٨٢ )

And fear Allah. And Allah teaches you. And Allah is Knowing of all things. (Al-Baqarah [2] : 282)

قَالَ ﷺ: “مَنْ عَمِلَ بِمَا عَلِمَ عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ”

««مَن عَمِلَ بِما عَلِمَ، ورَّثَهُ اللَّهُ تَعالى عِلْمَ ما لَمْ يَعْلَمْ»».

“Those who act upon what they know, Allah will guide them to that which they do not know

(Ahmed) (ibni Kathir )

يِـأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ إَن تَتَّقُواْ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّكُمْ فُرْقَانًا

O you who believe! If you have Taqwa of Allah, He will grant you Furqan (a criterion to judge between right and wrong). (8;29)

Al-Quran and Taqawa 

..

اِنَّ اَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ اَتْقٰىكُمْ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيْمٌ خَبِيْرٌ (الحجرات:١٣)

Surely the noblest of you, in Allah’s sight, is the one who is most pious of you. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.

 فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ(آل عمران:٧٦)

 – then indeed, Allah loves those who fear Him. (Ali ‘Imran [3] : 76)

يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اِنْ تَتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ يَجْعَلْ لَّكُمْ فُرْقَانًا وَّيُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّاٰتِكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيْمِ(الأنفال:٢٩

O you who believe, if you fear Allah, He will provide you with a criterion (to distinguish between right and wrong) and will write off your evil deeds and will forgive you. Allah is the Lord of great bounty.

وَمَنْ يَّتَّقِ اللّٰهَ يَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ مَخْرَجًا ۙ(الطلاق:٢)

And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out (At-Talaq [65] : 2)

وَّيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُۗ

and provides him (with what he needs) from where he does not even imagine

وَمَنْ يَّتَّقِ اللّٰهَ يَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ مِنْ اَمْرِهٖ يُسْرًا

And whoever fears Allah, He brings about ease for him in his affair.

At-Talaq [65] : 4)

يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ قَدْ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ لِبَاسًا يُوَٰرِى سَوْءَٰتِكُمْ وَرِيشًا ۖ وَلِبَاسُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ

“O children of Adam! We have provided for you clothing to cover your nakedness and as an adornment. However, the best clothing is righteousness.”(Surah Araf-26)

وَسَارِعُوا إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous

(Surah Ali ‘Imran, Quran 3:133)

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱمْتَحَنَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ ۚ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌۭ وَأَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ ٣

they are the ones whose hearts Allāh has tested for Piety. For them is forgiveness and great reward.(49;3)

ذَٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ شَعَـٰٓئِرَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقْوَى ٱلْقُلُوبِ ٣٢

Having said that, if one observes the sanctity of the symbols of Allah, then such things emanate from the piety of the hearts.( 22:32 )

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ زَلْزَلَةَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ شَىْءٌ عَظِيمٌۭ ١

O mankind, fear your Lord. Indeed the quake of the (destined) Hour is something terrible.

يَوْمَ تَرَوْنَهَا تَذْهَلُ كُلُّ مُرْضِعَةٍ عَمَّآ أَرْضَعَتْ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا وَتَرَى ٱلنَّاسَ سُكَـٰرَىٰ وَمَا هُم بِسُكَـٰرَىٰ وَلَـٰكِنَّ عَذَابَ ٱللَّهِ شَدِيدٌۭ ٢

The day you will see it, every suckling female will forget that which she suckles, and every female having pregnancy shall abort her fetus, and you will see people as if they are drunk, while they are not drunk, but Allah’s torment is (so) severe.(22:2)

Ibn Jarir recorded this. Those from this Ummah who do not acquire these qualities will be just like the People of the Scriptures whom Allah criticized, when He said,

Strive to be a true servant

“يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى:

ابْنَ آدَمَ، خَلَقْتُكَ لِعِبَادَتِي فَلَا تَلْعَبْ، وَتَكَفَّلْتُ بِرِزْقِكَ فَلَا تَتْعَبْ فَاطْلُبْنِي تَجِدْنِي؛ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَنِي وَجَدْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَإِنْ فُتك فَاتَكَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ، وَأَنَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ”.

“God Almighty says: Son of Adam, I created you to worship Me, so do not play around, and I have provided for your livelihood, so do not tire yourself. So seek Me and you will find Me; for if you find Me, you will find everything.” And if you die, you will lose everything, and I am dearer to you than everything.” ( ibni Kathir )
