Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan gives a compelling lecture on the people of Taqwa and how we can identify them.
The lecture begins with the reminder from a passage of Surah Ale Imran. Allah SWT calls us to the Friday prayer. The commandment occurs in Surah al Jumu'ah:
“And he says to us that when the call is made: Rush to the remembrance of Allah”
Also, in Surah Ale Imran, Allah says:
"Obey Allah and the Messenger so that you may be shown mercy. So that all of you may be shown mercy.”
In this ayah, Allah has attributed the obedience of Himself and His Messenger ﷺ with the one who is hopeful of getting mercy.
The true muttaq never loses his hope in Allah. We should imbibe and inculcate the essence of a true muttaqeen. We should suppress our anger, forgive others lovingly, out of love for Allah. When we wrong themselves, we should immediately turn to Allah.
May Allah make us of those who never lose hope in Allah.
