What is Taqwa of Allah and Its True Meaning?
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِۦ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ
English - Sahih International
O you who have believed, fear Allāh as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him].
English - Tafsir ibn kathir
Allah says,
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ امَنُواْ اتَّقُواْ اللّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ
O you who believe! Have Taqwa of Allah as is His due,
Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abdullah bin Masud commented on the Ayah,
اتَّقُواْ اللّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ
(Have Taqwa of Allah as is His due),
"That He is obeyed and not defied, remembered and not forgotten and appreciated and not unappreciated."
This has an authentic chain of narration to Abdullah bin Masud.
Al-Hakim collected this Hadith in his Mustadrak, from Ibn Masud, who related it to the Prophet.
Al-Hakim said, "It is authentic according to the criteria of the Two Sheikhs (Al-Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it."
This is what he said, but it appears that it is only a statement of Abdullah bin Mas`ud, and Allah knows best.
It was also reported that Anas said,
"The servant will not have Taqwa of Allah as is His due until he keeps his tongue idle."
[Aal-e-Imran 3:102]
