"Allah did not mention taqwa first. He first mentioned
the fact that He created the ability to sin within man. Now it is
your duty not to fulfil the urge to sin. This will create taqwa
(piety) in you. If you want to obtain piety, then all you have to do
is abstain from sin.
Achieve Reward without Doing any Work
The owners of factories first make their employees work and
then reward them. But in this case, Allah is granting reward for
not doing any work. Do not steal, speak lies and do not look at
women. By not doing these things, you will be rewarded with
piety and Allah's friendship. What is taqwa? Taqwa is when you
have the urge to sin but you abstain due to the fear of Allah."
(rifbillah Shaykh Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar D.B.)
From Tarbiyatus Saalikeen - ITA
Narrated Hz An-Nu'man bin Bashir rz.a: I heard RasulAllah sal lal lahu alaihi wasallam saying, 'Both legal n illegal things are evident but in between them there are doubtful (suspicious) things n most of the people have no knowledgeabout them. So whoever saves himself from these suspicious things saves his religion n his honor. n whoever indulges in these suspicious things is like a shepherd who grazes (his animals) near the Hima (private pasture) of someone else n at any moment he is liable to get in it. (O people!) Beware! Every king has a Hima n the Hima of Allah swt on the earth is His illegal (forbidden) things. Beware! There is a piece of flesh in the body if it becomes good (reformed) the whole body becomes good but if it gets spoilt the whole body gets spoilt n that is the heart.(Bukhari,Book #2, Hadith #49)

_And if our hearts are filled with proper *Taqwa*, then actions automatically follow..._
_And the sweetness of these actions is so fulfilling!_
