#ilm *BEING CONSCIOUS OF ALLAH ☝🏼* It was reported that Umar bin Al-Khattab (رضى الله عنه) asked Ubayy bin Kab (رضى الله عنه) about Taqwa. Ubayy (رضى الله عنه) said: "Have you ever traversed a thorny path?" Umar (رضى الله عنه) said: "Yes." Ubayy (رضى الله عنه) said: "What did you do then?" He (رضى الله عنه) said: "I collected (or rolled up) all (the loose and flowing) clothing (in my hands) and walked carefully (so that I don’t get pricked and that nothing gets caught in the thorns)." Ubayy (رضى الله عنه) said: "That is Taqwa." 📚: Tafsir Ibn Kathir 2:2 *Meaning: This is how a man with Taqwa would do against sins. He would take every precaution against falling into sins and disobedience to Allah.*
