The Concept of Piety (Taquwa)

Posted: Desember 16, 2010 in Uncategorized

What has been said about faith and righteousness is often true of piety. Nor is it, in this case, a matter of verbal statements and petitions comfortable. It is something much more serious. The Koran is, as always, our best source and when he speaks of the righteous are described as “those who believe in the Hereafter, observe prayer and charity do something as graceful and as they revealed (Muhammad), who I believe what was revealed and as was revealed before you, and are convinced of the afterlife, they follow the path of your Lord will be blessed “(Qur’an, 2:33). Pious are those who do charity, both in prosperity and in adversity, who repress their anger, to pardon his neighbor, because God loves the benefactors, who when they commit an obscenity or condemn, mention God and implore forgiveness for their sins (again, who but God forgives sins?) and not reoffend, knowing, as committed, and these, the reward will be an indulgence of their Lord and gardens under which rivers flow, where dwell therein forever. How great is the reward of the benefactors! (Qur’an 3:134-136).

In these verses we find that piety requires an appropriate use of the mind, grasping for the truth of God and life, a proper use of wealth, spending in the way of God in all circumstances, and appropriate use-of spiritual and physical capacities U man thanks to the observance of prayer. Also requires a high degree of self-control over anger and emotions, a moral capacity for forgiveness and patience and a conscious urgency to make the sinner back to God with sorrow and regret. Being religious is a man of genuine conviction and beautiful, determination and character, will and courage and, above all, be a man of God. Piety, righteousness and conscious faith are related to one another * and come together all in one channel. Lead to Islam and set to true Muslim.
