Favours on those who have Taqwa

Taqwaa means obedience to Allah Ta'ala. We obey Allah Ta'ala by executing all the commandments and by abstaining from everything that He has forbidden. When we do this, then we can proclaim that we obey Allah Ta'ala. By practicing Ibaadaat seasonally, such as performing Salah on the occasion of Shabbe Baraat, on the day of Jum'ah or on the 10th of Muharram, does not demonstrate our total obedience to Allah Ta'ala. These Ibaadaat which are performed on these occasions in the form of Zikrullah, Namaz, Tilawat-ul-Qur'aan and Roza etc. are undoubtedly meritorious and rewardable but, they are not sufficient to prove that we obey Allah Ta'ala totally. True obedience to Allah Ta’ala is attained when it is done on a permanent basis and in regards to all the commandments the Shariah has laid out. What is more important is to abstain from the things that Allah Ta'ala has prohibited.

When a person reaches this level, Allah Ta'ala will alleviate his difficulties. Allah Ta'ala will console him in his difficult moments. Allah Ta'ala will provide for his needs in unexpected ways. That is, he is under the gaze of the special Rahmat of Allah Ta'ala. His difficult moments are also mixed with joy. He feels an extraordinary joy and tranquility when he places his forehead in Sajdah.
