The People of Taqwa
Now consider the following: wisdom is the lost treasure of a believer. We must find opportunities to learn from those with wisdom. When such an opportunity arises, learn from their knowledge and ask them for advice instead of taking selfies.
Taqwā is the basis of all goodness
Dear Islamic brothers! The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم gave two pieces of advice to his Companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ:
1. To adopt taqwā, as it is a collection of all goodness.
2. To perform dhikr of Allah, as this will become light.
This hadith teaches us about the virtues of remembering Allah, and that taqwā is a collection of every single form of goodness. Whoever is granted this treasure has acquired all goodness. The Proof of Islam, Imām Muḥammad al-Ghazālī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه said:
O beloved! You should learn that taqwā is a rare treasure. If you succeed in attaining this treasure, you will be prosperous. Consider all goodness of this world and the hereafter to be in taqwā.[1]
Glad tidings and reward for people of taqwā
The scholars of Islam have explained how the Quran mentions the virtues of the people of taqwā and gives them many glad tidings. For example:
* Allah provides special help to the people of taqwā.
* They are honoured in this world and the hereafter.
