“It [taqwa]
mostly comes to someone who does his duty to Allaah with loving obedience. Most
people if they try to do this neglect their duties to others or only fulfill
them partially. These people do not leave time or energy for their duties to
their families & the community. To be able to give what is due to Allaah &
what is due to people is something can only be achieved by few special
people -- they are the true people of taqwa.”
Ibn Rajab al-Ḥanbalī [d. 795H/1393CE]
