- Description :

- The most important things that give one’s life a meaning are taqwâ (piety) and sincerity. Taqwâ is to curb one’s fleshly desires and to strengthen the spiritual potential through prayers to God and doing good deeds for humanity. Hence taqwâ is required in every field of life, in our belief, worship, in our dealings with others, even in our every breath. To have taqwâ means to be a friend to Allah almighty, to possess a spiritually healthy heart in this world which can take lessons from the divine manifestations of power in the universe, and to have merit of entering paradise through divine grace.

- In other words, to have sincerity and taqwâ means to purify our inner world from all kinds of spiritual disease, enabling our hearts to take pleasure from deeds and prayers which are in accordance with the divine will. Such a state of heart is described in the following verse of the holy Quran: “He indeed shall be successful who purifies himself,” (Ala, 87:14)
