How to Be a Person of the Highest Level of Taqwa?

Allah says that the most righteous are the people of the most taqwa. How do you become a person of the highest level of taqwa? This can be achieved when we give from our wealth.

Give From Your Wealth

By giving from our wealth, Allah promises to cleanse us inwardly and outwardly, and thus elevate our state to be among the people of the highest taqwa.

Allah says:

The one who gave his wealth so that he may be cleansed. (Quran 92:18)

This verse illustrates that when you give wealth, you won’t purify yourself, Allah is going to purify you.

So what’s the purpose of giving wealth? Cleaning oneself up as a gift of Allah. You give the gift to the poor, and Allah cleans you up.

Give Whatever You Can

The other benefit of this verse is so beautiful.

As for he who gives and fears Allah (92:5)

The condition to cleanse yourself is not to give a lot; to cleanse yourself, just start giving.

In this verse, Allah didn’t mention wealth here. So what do you give a lot of if you don’t have wealth? You give your time, you give your effort, you give your youth…

But if Allah mentioned wealth, what about the poor people? They don’t have a lot to give.

But when it came to giving, He didn’t say “giving a lot” here, He just say giving.

Because even the poorest person can give something. Give date, give a seed, give something… Allah doesn’t ask you to give a lot because you may not have a lot.

When it came to giving in general, which means give of your love, give of your aspirations, give of your youth, give of your talent, and give of your wealth if you have.

Make it a Habit

We have no limitations here, which is an amazing illustration of giving wealth, even just keep giving a little, make it a habit, don’t stop.

Keep cleansing your wealth, keep losing the love of it, tell your children why they should do it. Every time you give them a gift, teach them to give charity, teach them to be grateful, teach them to give of things they love.

Allah says: But the righteous one will avoid it – (92:17)

The one who has the most taqwa will be warded away from any harm and be secured.

Note

In the historical context, most of the commentators said that these verses were revealed when Abu Bakr gave his wealth and he was fearful of Allah, and when he freed a group of slaves.

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Derechos de Las Mujeres en Islam

Durante el Tiempo del Profeta (la paz sea con él) Veamos cómo fueron tratadas las mujeres de todo el mundo durante la época del Profeta (la paz sea con él). En la Europa del siglo VIII, la religión principal era el catolicismo y durante este tiempo debatían si las mujeres tenían alma. Dijeron que las mujeres eran impuras y que no tenían derecho a la herencia. A las mujeres tampoco se les permitía tocar la Biblia. No era como ahora en el Islam, donde ellas no pueden tocar el Corán durante la menstruación, pero a las mujeres en la Europa del siglo VIII nunca se les permitió tocar la Biblia. En China e India, fueron quemadas vivas cuando murieron sus maridos. En Arabia Saudita practicaron infanticidio femenino en el que, si nacía una niña, la enterrarían viva. Si el marido de una mujer muere, un miembro de su familia se unirá a ella para demostrar que ahora es de su propiedad. Mujeres en el Islam Con el Islam llegó una nueva era para las mujeres. En el Islam, las mujeres tienen la...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...
