*Explain to your children how Taqwa is the major part of our religion and how to instil it 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!_ Sheikh Ismail Mufti Menk You are not forced to share.... _*But as Allah Subhanahu Taala says:*_ _*Remind, for reminder benefits the believers*_ ✨ Kindly share to all Muslims platforms: DAWAH https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vao1sliJZg48catAwX3e
