Taqwa

Taqwa (Arabic: تقوى‎ taqwā / taqwá ") is an Islamic term for "piety, fear of God". It is often found in the Quran. Al-Muttaqin (Arabic: لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ‎ Al-Muttaqin) refers to those who practice taqwa, or in the words of Ibn Abbas -- "believers who avoid Shirk with Allah and who work in His obedience."

Definitions

The Arabic word taqwa used in a not-necessarily-religious sense means "forbearance, fear and abstinence."

Some descriptions of the term from Islamic sources include:

  • "God consciousness ... piousness, fear of Allah, love for Allah, and self restraint".
  • "God-consciousness or God-fearing piety", "virtue", "wariness".
  • Fear of Allah, "being careful, knowing your place in the cosmos". "Proof" of Taqwa is the "experience of awe" of God, which "inspires a person to be on guard against wrong action" and eager to do thing which please Allah.
  • literally "to protect". In general, to protect yourself "from the Wrath of Allah" by not "indulging in things that Allah forbids".
  • "a high state of heart, which keeps one conscious of Allah's presence and His Knowledge." Taqwa motivates the person who possesses it "to perform righteous deeds" and avoid forbidden activities.

    And I'll go
    Outta my way
    Just to assure
    That our love endures I'm yours
    Girl I'm never far away I'll be right there (right there)
    To keep you nice and warm I'm rushing right home

    To protect you from the storm I'm rushing right home
    Girl I'll be there I'll be right there

    Just the little things I do
    All done for you
