Is Wara’ the same as Taqwa?

 Improvidence (lack of care and attention) makes the belief shaky and destroys the endeavour of attaining it.

 

Is Wara’ the same as Taqwa?

The Prophet of Islam (PBUH) said: “the best thing for your religion is your Wara’ [1].” Because if there is no Wara’ the human being becomes improvident and his/her religion is shaky, and after that the greed appears and destroys the belief [2].

* Wara’ means to refrain from all Harams as well as all doubtful acts (which some of them may not be Haram). If a person avoids Harams, he/she is considered to be a pious person; but Wara’ is a level higher than piety (Taqwa).
