16 . Be wary of your duty towards Allah with the wariness of one who hears [the message of guidance] hence humbly submits, commits a misdeed hence confesses [and repents], learns [the truth] hence trembles in fear, is cautious [about the Hereafter] hence takes the initiative [to do good] and performs an action and does it well.

16 ـ اِتِّقُوا اللّهَ تَقِيَّةَ مَنْ سَمِعَ فَخَشَعَ، واقْتَرَفَ فَاعْتَرَفَ، وعَلِمَ فَوَجِلَ، وحاذَرَ فَبادَرَ، وعَمِلَ فَأحْسَنَ

17 . Turn to God-wariness, for indeed it is an impenetrable shield. Whoever turns to it, it protects him and whoever holds on to it, it preserves him.

17 ـ اِلْجَأُوا إلَى التَّقْوى فَإنَّهُ جُنَّةٌ مَنيعَةٌ، مَنْ لَجَأَ إلَيْها حَصَّنَتْهُ، وَمَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِها عَصَمَتْهُ

19 . Indeed God-wariness is like trained [and docile] riding mounts with their riders on them and their reins given to them, so they take them into Paradise.

19 ـ اَلا وإنَّ التَّقْوى مَطايا ذُلُل حُمِلَ عَلَيْها أهْلُها،وَ أُعْطُوا أزِمَّتَها فَأوْرَدَتْهُمُ الْجَنَّـةَ

23 . Verily Allah the Most High has enjoined God-wariness upon you and has made it the means by which His pleasure is attained by His creation. So fear Allah, [the Lord] who is closely watching you and in whose grip are your forelocks.

23 ـ إنَّ اللّهَ تَعالى أوْصاكُمْ بِالتَّقْوى، وجَعَلَها رِضاهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ، فَاتَّقُوا اللّهَ الَّذي أنْتُمْ بِعَيْنِهِ، ونَواصيكُمْ بِيَدِهِ

24 . Verily the wariness of their duty towards Allah has shielded His friends from what He has forbidden and has made their hearts bound by His fear, so much so that their nights pass in wakefulness and their midday’s in thirst; thus they take comfort in hardship and are quenched by thirst.

24 ـ إنَّ تَقْوَى اللّهَ حَمَتْ أوْلِياءَهُ مَحارِمَهُ، وألْزَمَتْ قُلُوبَهُمْ مَخافَتَهُ، حَتّى أسْهَرَتْ لَيالِيَهُمْ، وأظْمَأَتْ هَواجِرَهُمْ، فَأخَذُوا الرّاحَةَ بِالتَّعَبِ، والرَّيَّ بِالظَّمَأِ

25 . Verily the fear of Allah is a provision and a place of return. It is a provision that takes one to his destination and a prosperous place of return. The best inviter has called towards it and the most heedful [of people] have heeded to it. So the inviter has told the people about it and those who have given heed to it are successful.

25 ـ إنَّ تَقْوَى اللّهِ هِيَ الزّادُ والمَعادُ، زادٌ مُبَلِّغٌ، ومَعادٌ مُنْجِحٌ، دَعا إلَيْها أسْمَعُ داع، ووَعاها خَيْرُ واع، فَأسْمَعَ داعِيها، وفازَ واعيها

26 . Verily God-wariness is the right of Allah, the Glorified, upon you and it necessitates your right over Allah, so seek Allah’s help to achieve it and use it as a means of attaining proximity to Allah.

26 ـ إنَّ التَّقْوى حَقُّ اللّهِ سُبْحانَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ، والمُوجِبَةُ عَلَى اللّهِ حَقَّكُمْ، فَاسْتَعينُوا بِاللّهِ عَلَيْها، وتَوَسَّلُوا إلَى اللّهِ بِها

27 . Verily the fear of Allah [and God-wariness] has continually presented itself to the people of the past and those who came after them, because they will [all] need it tomorrow when Allah resurrects what He has created and takes back what He has given; but how few are those who undertake it the way it deserves to be undertaken!

27 ـ إنَّ تَقْوَى اللّهِ لَمْ تَزَلْ عارِضَةً نَفْسَها عَلَى الأُمَمِ الماضينَ والغابِرينَ، لِحاجَتِهِمْ إلَيْها غَداً إذا أعادَ اللّهُ ما أبْدَأَ وأخَذَ ما أعْطى، فَما أقَلَّ مَنْ حَمَلَها حَقَّ حَمْلِها

28 . Verily the fear of Allah has a rope with a firm handle and a stronghold with an insurmountable peak.

28 ـ إنَّ لِتَقْوَى اللّهِ حَبْلاً وَثيقاً عُرْوَتُهُ، وَمَعْقِلاً مَنِيعاً ذُرْوَتُهُ

29 . Indeed God-wariness makes Allah most pleased with His servants and it is what He demands from His creation. So be wary of your duty towards Allah who knows what you do in secret and records what you do openly.

29 ـ إنَّ التَّقْوى مُنْتَهى رِضَى اللّهِ مِنْ عِبادِهِ، وحاجَتِهِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ، فَاتَّقُوا اللّهَ الَّذي إنْ أسْرَرْتُمْ عَلِمَهُ، وإنْ أعْلَنْتُمْ كَتَبَهُ

30 . Verily God-wariness is a strong fortress [of protection] for the one who takes refuge in it, and impiety is the dilapidated fortress [of humiliation] which does not protect its people and does not offer security to the one who takes refuge in it.

30 ـ إنَّ التَّقْوى دارُ حِصْن عَزيْز لِمَنْ لَجَأَ إلَيْهِ، والفُجُورُ دارُ حِصْن ذَليل لايُحْرِزُ أهْلَهُ ولايَمْنَعُ مَنْ لَجَأَ إلَيْهِ

31 . Verily God-wariness is today a safeguard and a shield, and tomorrow [it is] a pathway to Paradise; its path is clear and the one who travels on it, gains.

31 ـ إنَّ التَّقْوى فِي اليَوْمِ الحِرْزُ والْجُنَّةُ، وفي غَد اَلطَّريقُ إلَى الجَنَّةِ، مَسْلَكُها واضِحٌ وسالِكُها رابِـحٌ

32 . Indeed the fear of Allah is the maintainer of faith and the pillar of certitude, and it is surely the key to righteousness and the lamp of success.

32 ـ إنَّ تَقْوَى اللّهِ عِمارَةُ الدّينِ، وَعِمادُ اليَقينِ، وإنَّها لَمِفْتاحُ صَلاح، ومِصْباحُ نَجاح

33 . Verily the one who has been shown what is in front of him by the examples of the exemplary punishments of the past is prevented by God-wariness from falling into doubts.

33 ـ إنَّ مَنْ صَرَّحَتْ لَهُ العِبَرُ عَمّا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ المَثُلاتِ حَجَزَهُ التَّقْوى عَنْ تَقَحُّمِ الشُّبَهاتِ

34 . Verily the one who abandons God-wariness is lured by pleasures and lustful desires, and falls into the wilderness of sins and is constantly plagued by grave (or many) [evil] consequences.

34 ـ إنَّ مَن فارَقَ التَّقْوى أُغْريَ بِاللَّذّاتِ والشَّهَواتِ، ووَقَعَ في تيهِ السَّيِّئاتِ، ولَزِمَهُ كَبيرُ (كَثيرُ) التَّبِعاتِ

35 . Indeed the fear of Allah is a key to rightness, a store for the Hereafter, emancipation from every [form of] bondage and safety from every destruction. Through it the runaway is rescued, what is sought is attained and what is desired [of the Hereafter] is acquired.

35 ـ إنَّ تَقْوَى اللّهِ مِفْتاحُ سَداد، وذَخيرَةُ مَعاد، وعِتْقٌ مِنْ كُلِّ مَلَكَة، وَنَجاةٌ مِنْ كُلِّ هَلَكَة، بِها يَنْجُوالهارِبُ، وتُنْجَحُ المَطالِبُ، وَتُنالُ الرَّغائِبُ
