Taqwa (تقوى, التَّقْوَىٰ)

Fearing Allah-azwj

وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ {56}

And they will not be paying heed except if Allah so Desires. He is rightful to be feared and rightful for (Granting) the Forgiveness [74:56]

أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال: ثم قال تعالى بعد أن عرفهم التذكرة هي الولاية: كَلَّا إِنَّهُ تَذْكِرَةٌ فَمَنْ شاءَ ذَكَرَهُ‏ وَ ما يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشاءَ اللَّهُ هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوى وَ أَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ، قال: «فالتقوى في هذا الموضع هو النبي (صلى الله عليه و آله)، و المغفرة أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام)

(Sharaf Al Deen Al Najafi) in (the book) Taweel Al Ayaat –

(From) Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The Allah-azwj the Exalted, after Making them recognise that the ‘Tazkira’, it is the Wilayah of Ali-asws, Said: Never! It is a Tazkira [74:54] So the one who desires it, would pay heed [74:55] And they will not be paying heed except if Allah so Desires. He is rightful to be feared and rightful for (Granting) the Forgiveness [74:56]. He-asws said: ‘So the piety in this place is the Prophet-saww, and the Forgiveness is Amir-Al-Momineen-asws’.[1]
