Taqwa
"Taqwa is to obey Allah out of fear of Him and to avoid the prohibited."
Spiritual & Deep Meaning

Taqwa positively influences both the spiritual and social relationships of an individual. This concept encourages a person to stay away from their own ego and to abandon the forbidden. Islamic societies promote the establishment of a virtuous community by instilling taqwa in the character of individuals. Those who possess taqwa achieve inner peace while also building healthy relationships with others.
