because of his desire to please Allah. By the same token, a believer
will not seek his living by any means which will endanger the
health or well-being of others, whoever they may be. A believer is
constantly aware of the presence of The Omniscient, The All-
Powerful God. He feels shame if he does anything which Allah
disapproves because his love for Allah is the strongest force in his
life. Taqwa is an attitude which indicates our awakened humanity
and our submission to the Will of Allah, as well as our recognition
of the fact that we are ultimatley accountable to Him.

Taqwa includes an anticipation of Judgment and an awareness
I hat we must answer for all the wrong we do. Many people go
through their entire lives without ever thinking about the end con-
sequences of their deeds and actions. But Al-Islam teaches us that
although a wrongdoer may not be immediately punished for his
actions, he can never escape Allah's Judgment. Allah will not
allow injustice to go unchecked. He won't allow us to live deceitful
lives without having to answer one day for the evil we commit.
