The way to Divine piety

SHAFAQNA – There are many dimensions and effects of worshipping God and of them is Divine piety (Taqwa in Arabic). Allah (SWT) mentions in many holy verses of the Quran that the ultimate aim of creating Jinn and human being is their worship of God and the purpose of this worship is to reach Divine piety. In Ayah 21 of Surah Al-Baqarah, Allah (SWT) clearly says: “O’ people, worship your God who has created you and those before you so that you become pious.” The same subject has been mentioned in other Ayahs of the holy Quran; for example: Ayahs 63, 179 and 183 of Surah Al-Baqarah; Ayah 153 of Surah Al-An’aam; Ayah 171 of Surah Al-A’araaf; and Ayah 52 of Surah Al-Nahl.
