If you Fear Allāh, Allāh Will Grant You Furqān, a lecture by Shaykh Uways at-Taweel (hafidhahullāh)

  • “O you who believe, if you fear Allāh, He will give you a criterion” (al-Anfāl 8:29)
  • The definition of taqwā by Ṭalq ibn Ḥabīb, and Abū Hurayrah’s explanation of walking a path with dangerous obstacles
  • In the Qurʾān the command of taqwā is attached to Allāh’s name or to His punishment
  • The benefits of taqwā: actions are accepted and Allāh is with the Muttaqīn
  • Taqwā gives an exit from bidʿah, and distances you from doubts and misconceptions
  • There is fitnah every day, and we need the light from Allāh, which is knowledge of the Qurʾān and Sunnah
  • Ibn Masʿūd: “Knowledge is not just talking; it is that light which Allāh puts in the heart”
