The ingredients of Taqwa are also two-fold :
Suhbat (companionship of the righteous) and Mujahada (striving); both of which are verified in the Qur'aan Sharief :
“O YOU WHO BELIEVE, FEAR ALLAH AND JOIN THE
COMPANY OF THE TRUTHFUL ONES
(THE PIOUS, THE AULIYA ALLAH).”
[SURAH TAUBAH 9 : 119]
Allah Ta’ala enjoins upon His servants to adopt the quality of Taqwa and then graciously provides the simplest means of acquiring Taqwa, namely, the company of the pious and
righteous.
The Sahaba-e-Kiraam رضي الله عنهما in keeping company with Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم , became in the words of Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم, :
“My Sahabah are like stars; thus, whichever one of them you follow you will be guided aright.”
This was the fruition of the beautiful and blessed company of Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم : a people who were steeped in absolute misguidance, prior to accepting Islam, were to become the beacons of guidance for all of humanity.
Accompanying the Suhbat (companionship) of the Ahlullah
is Mujahada (striving). This too Allah Ta’ala makes mention of:
“AS FOR THOSE WHO STRIVE IN OUR WAY, WE WILL
SURELY GUIDE THEM TO OUR PATHS…”
[SURAH ANKABOOT 29 : 69]
The courage to assail and engage nafs and Shaytaan in Jihad-e-Akbar is another attribute that can only be acquired from the Ahlullah.
Thus, the suhbat (company) of the Ahlullah (friends of Allah) is the key to unlocking the treasure chest of both
Imaan and Taqwa, and enjoying the wealth of Wilayat (friendship), Qurb (proximity) and Ma-iyyat (togetherness) of Allah Ta’ala and His Beloved Rasul صلئ الله عليه وسلم.
