.:: Characteristics Of Al-Muttaqin ::.

Alhamdulillah..we've just finished our fasting for second day..I just want to share something with all of u about why fasting are prescribed for us and what is meant by "Al-Muttaqin".. Allah S.W.T had once said in Al-Quran as follow :

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيۡڪُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِڪُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَتَّقُون

O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed for those before you, that ye may ward off (evil). (Al-Baqarah : Verse 183)

The things I wanna share is about the word "Tattaqun" which meant by "Al-Muttaqin".. What is meant by "Al-Muttaqin"? Allah S.W.T had explained to us what are the characteristics of "Al-Muttaqin" in Al-Quran as follow: 

This is the Scripture where of there is no doubt, a guidance unto those who ward off (evil). Who believe in the Unseen, and establish worship, and spend of that We have bestowed upon them; And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and are certain of the Hereafter. These depend on guidance from their Lord. These are the successful (Al-Baqarah : Verse 2-5)

In these verse, Allah S.W.T had described the characteristics of "Al-Muttaqin". They are :

• People who believes in the Unseen
• People who perform Solat
• People who give away wealth that Allah gives to them
• People who believes in The Book (Al-Quran)
• People who believes in the day Hereafter

Therefore, let us check ourselves whether we have those characteristics or not..Let us use the full opportunity to gain our iman and increase our ibadah..InsyaAllah...
