Collaboration ProjectTAQWASeeking Closeness To AllahThere are many
ways to attain nearness toAllah One of the ways is through
Taqwa.
Sura Aale Imran
By no means shall you attain to righteousness until you spend
(benevolently) out of what you love; and whatever thing you spend,
Allah surely knows it. (3:92)
What you cherish could be your wealth, health, children, pride.
The true righteous person would be able to give-away what they
cherish the most. E.g. was set by Imam Husain (a.s.) in Kerbala.
(Zakat and Khums are not mentioned here, since the verse does not
refer to the minimum amounts prescribed, rather the optional that
which you love.
One who practices piety in this world will get ParadiseSALAATUL
LAYLOne of the ibadat highly recommended by Allah to gain closeness
to him is through Salaatul layl
Sura Muzzammil Surely the rising by night is the firmest way to
tread and the best corrective of speech. (73:6)
Allah says; Wealth and children are an ornament of the life of
this world (18:46), but the eight rakaats recited by a servant at
the end of the night are an ornament of the Hereafter.Imam as-Sadiq
(a)
Almighty Allah has not specified its reward due to its greatness
with Him.
Allah says (about the reward of those who recite Salatul Layl):
So no soul knows what is hidden for them of that which will refresh
the eyes; a reward for what they did.(32:17) Holy Prophet (s)
Special Women (mentioned in the Quran)Anyone can achieve the
status of Taqwa. One of the great ladies who drew herself close to
Allah was Hannah, who is mentioned in the Quran
Sura Aale Imran
3:35 "How the wife of Imrn said, O my Lord, I have vowed to thee
what is in my womb. Now accept [this vow] from me, thou art the
hearing, the knowing
And when she had given birth to the child, she said, O my lord,
I have given birth to a female child... and I have called her
Maryam
Prophet YusufThe higher one climbs the ladder of taqwa, the more
he gets tested. Prophet Yusuf was an example to this.
Sura Yusuf
12:90 " They said: 'Are you indeed Yusuf ' He said: '(Yes), I am
Yusuf and this is my brother. Allah has been indeed gracious to us.
Verily whoever keeps from evil and is patient (is always rewarded)
for verily Allah does not waste the reward of the righteous'.
Tolerance is an important instrument of administration. One must
learn from Yusuf's humanity and generosity for he not only
overlooked his own right but he also went out of his way to secure
Allah's pardon for his brothers Jesus (Prophet Isa) in the
QuranProphet Isa too was tested till he reached the highest level
of spirituality, when he was taken to the heavens By Allah.
Sura Nisa
4:157and their boast, "Behold, we have slain the Christ Jesus,
son of Mary, [who claimed to be] an apostle of God!" However, they
did not slay him, and neither did they crucify him, but it only
seemed to them [as if it had been] so; and, verily, those who hold
conflicting views thereon are indeed confused, having no [real]
knowledge thereof, and following mere conjecture. For, of a
certainty, they did not slay him.BarzakhSo we ask why should we
have taqwa? One good reason is it will be our sense of comfort when
we are in our grave. The period of Barzakh is a lonely period.
Sura Al Mominun
When death comes to one of them he says, My Lord send me back. I
will then work righteousness in everything I left. Not true. This
is a false claim that he makes. A barzakh will separate his soul
from this world until resurrection (23 99:100)Quran and
Environmental EthicsAnd finally when being lowered into the grave,
the earth will ask how did you treat me so that I can reciprocate
now to you? Were you observant of Allahs laws or did you cause
mischief?
Surah Ar Rum
30:41Mischief has appeared in the land and sea because of what
men have done with their own hands that Allah may give them a taste
of some of their deeds, in order that they may turn back
Mischief Caused by Man Global Warming
