In his special
sermon on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr on August 20, 2012 Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim(atba)
of Mauritius gave a discourse on the most important quality a Muslim aspires to
acquire: TAQWA.
Read the Extracts from the Eid Sermon:
“...When a person does a good deed, he must do so
only for the pleasure of Allah. That person must have the Taqwa, that
is, piety, righteousness. Of what essence is that Taqwa?
If you ask somebody on the street, what is that piety (Taqwa), he shall
be embarrassed to give you an answer. And if you tell him that it means
becoming pious, he can open wide his eyes or laugh at you. In his ignorance,
when he hears those words, he can laugh it off. Therefore it must be understood
that Taqwa is the master of words, a key word in Islam. Taqwa
designates a virtue, a quality which is precise and well appreciated by Allah
the Almighty.
