In the last few emails, we learned what taqwa in Islam is and had a brief introduction on how we can be of the muttaqeen. In this and the next four emails, we will explore action points and practical steps to attain taqwa and become of those whom Allah SWT loves.
Step #1: Hold Yourself Accountable
Maintain a diary for this. Write down the significant deeds you did today,
- Prayed on time or missed it?
- Read Quran or not?
- Helped family?
- Indulged in a secret act of charity (even $1 with sincere intentions will do)
- The sins you indulged in (let this be only between you and Allah)
