52:37
The root of taqwa is waw-qaf-ya', which is mentioned two hundred and fifty eight times in different grammatical forms in the Qur’an. Some of them are: waqana (He protected us) (52:27); wa man taqi (And he whom You did protect) (40:9); qina (Protect us!) (2:201); qu (Protect!) (66:6); la`allakum tattaqun (So that you may fear, escape) (2:21); waqin (Protector) (13:34); taqiyy (pious, Godfearing) (19:13); atqa (most pious, most God-fearing) (49:13); tuqah (to escape, to fear) (3:28); taqwa (to escape, righteousness) (2:197); muttaqun/muttaqin (the righteous, those who escape (from evil), those who fear (God)). In short, taqwa with all its meanings is the root as well as the fruit of every tree of good deed, and hence, no `ibadat is acceptable without it. This paramount importance of taqwa is because of the reason that man, both externally and internally, may remain protected and safe from every affliction and disease.
