What Is Taqwa

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*_ ✨
