Taqwaa has three levels

The Three levels of Piety

Taqwaa has three levels:

1. Protecting the heart and limbs from sins and all forbidden matters.
2. Protecting the heart and limbs form disliked matters [Makrooh].
3. Protecting oneself from the fudool and what does not concern him.

• The first gives the servant his life,
• The second gives him health and strength and
• The third enables him to gain happiness, contentment and light.
