۞
Certainly, fear of Allāh is the key to guidance, provision for the next world, freedom from every slavery and deliverance from all ruin. With its help the seeker succeeds and he who makes for safety escapes and achieves his aims.
فَإِنَّ تَقْوَى اللهِ مِفْتَاحُ سَدَاد، وَذَخِيرَةُ مَعَاد، وَعِتْقٌ منْ كلِّ مَلَكَة، وَنَجَاةٌ مِنْ كلِّ هَلَكَة، بِهَا يَنْجَحُ الطَّالِبُ، وَيَنْجُوا الْهَارِبُ، وَتُنَالُ الرَّغَائِبُ.
