What is the meaning of piety (taqwa)? (English) - Majalis al Hikma

<p>The Qur’an Majeed refers to the word _taqwa_ a great many times: Guidance, victory, salvation, heaven, reward is for those who maintain _taqwa_. Allah is with those who maintain _taqwa_. _Taqwa_ is the best provision for the Hereafter. The best clothing is the cloth of _taqwa_. But what is the meaning of _taqwa_?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Many people define _taqwa_ as the fear of Allah, but that definition is incomplete. What is the more complete understanding of this weighty word?</p> <p><br></p> <p>What is the meaning of _taqwa_ in the context of one’s job, business, relationships?&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>A wise sage was once asked by his student: between a lion and a goat, which one would win? What did the sage answer? What is connection between this parable and _taqwa_?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Syedna Taher Fakhruddin TUS answers these questions in this Majlis, the 69th in the Majalis al Hikma series.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch short video in Dawat ni Zabaan:</p> <p>https://youtu.be/BW45gnFJ26M</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch short video in English:</p> <p>https://youtu.be/M4Nz2uYhhKY</p> <p><br></p> <p>Watch short video in Arabic:</p> <p>https://youtu.be/fLi35DM2Q6o</p> <p><br></p> <p>Listen to audio podcast:</p> <p>https://anchor.fm/fatemidawat</p> <p><br></p> <p>Questions can be asked by email to info@fatemidawat.com</p>
