What is piety?

Before talking about piety, try to understand what piety is. * Taqwa is not really the name of a particular status or a particular style of society, but it is actually the name of the self or the state that arises from fear of God and a sense of responsibility and manifests itself in every aspect of life

. * True piety is the fear of God in the heart of man. Be aware of devotion. Be aware of your responsibility and accountability to God. And let there be a living realization that the world is a testing ground where God has sent me with a respite and my future decision in the hereafter depends entirely on the fact that within this given time my own How do I use my powers and abilities, how do I dispose of the services that have been given to me by God's will, and how do I deal with the people with whom God's judgment has dealt with my life in various ways? ۔ When this feeling and consciousness is created in a person, his conscience is awakened. His religious sense is sharpened. He begins to lose everything that is against the will of God. His jokes are offensive to anything that is different from God's will. He begins to examine himself to see what kind of tendencies and tendencies are growing in me. He begins to reckon with his life, what I am spending my time and energy on. He seems to be hesitant even when he is involved in suspicious matters apart from the obvious prohibitions. His sense of duty compels him to obey all orders with complete obedience. His piety makes him tremble at every step where there is a fear of transgressing the limits of Allah. The care of the rights of Allah and the rights of the worshipers becomes his motto and his conscience trembles at the thought that nothing should be done against the truth. This condition does not appear in any one form or in any particular sphere, but is manifested in the whole way of thinking of man and all his deeds in life, and its effect is to create a smooth and uniform color in which You will find the same style of purity and cleanliness in every aspect. In contrast, where piety is simply the name given to a person's adherence to certain forms and adherence to certain methods, and artificially molds himself into a mold that can be measured. We will see that some of the forms of piety that have been taught are being observed with utmost care, but at the same time in other aspects of life, the morals, the way of thinking and the behavior that is the place of piety are also manifested. Besides, they do not even fit the basic requirements of faith. That is, in the allegorical language of Jesus Christ, mosquitoes are being spread and camels are being swallowed freely.

Understand the difference between true piety and artificial piety in that a person is one who has a sense of purity and cleanliness and a taste for purity. Such a person will hate filth per se, in whatever form he may be, and will adopt purity instead of himself, even if his manifestations cannot be covered. On the other hand, there is another person who does not have a sense of purity, but he goes around looking for a list of impurities and purity that he has copied from somewhere. This person will strictly avoid the filth that he has found on the list, but he will be found contaminated with a lot of filthy things that will be far more unclean than the filth that he is avoiding. Since they are left out of the list. * The difference I am asking you is not just a visual difference, but you can see it with your own eyes in the lives of those gentlemen whose piety Is broken On the one hand, the details of the Shari'ah are that if the beard is less than a certain amount, then the decision of disobedience is enforced. If the pinch falls just below the ankle, then the promise of hell is announced. To deviate from the sub-rules of their school of jurisprudence is to deviate from the religion. But on the other hand, their ignorance of the principles and teachings of the religion has reached such a point that they have spent the entire life of the Muslims on leave and political expediency. He has devised innumerable ways of avoiding the pursuit of Iqamat-e-Din. Under the domination of disbelief, all their efforts and efforts are being spent in making maps of "Islamic life". And their misguidance has convinced Muslims that they can fulfill all the requirements of the religion by living a religious life in a limited circle while living within a non-Islamic system and even serving it. There is nothing they want to do. What is even more unfortunate is that if someone presents to them the real demands of the religion and draws attention to the endeavor of staying in the religion, not only do they listen to him, but they also listen to him. They leave no excuses or tricks that they do not use to save themselves and the Muslims. Even then, their piety is not incensed, nor does anyone with a religious mindset suspect that there is a flaw in their piety. In the same way, the difference between real and artificial piety is manifested in many forms. But you can feel it only when the true concept of piety is clearly present in your mind.
