Umar ibn Abdul Aziz (rahimahullah) used to say, "None can reach the station of taqwa until he possesses neither action nor words that can be exposed to his embarrassment either in this world or the Hereafter." He was once asked, "When does the worshipper reach the peak of taqwa? He replied, "If he put all his thoughts and desires in his heart on a plate and then wandered around in the market, he should not feel ashamed of anything there." He would frequently say, "The sign of the muttaqi (pious person who fears Allah swt much) is to bridle oneself from speaking just like one in ihram bridles himself from speaking. The muttaqi need to be a scholar of the Shariah, all of it, otherwise he leaves taqwa without realising." ------------------ Sent using the Muftisays Android App
