O ye who believe! Fear Allah,(5394) and let every soul look to what (provision) it has(5394) sent forth for the morrow. Yea, fear Allah.(5395-A) for Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.
5394 The "fear of Allah" is akin to love; for it means the fear of offending Him or doing anything wrong that will forfeit His Good Pleasure. This is Taqwa, which implies self-restraint, guarding ourselves from all sin, wrong, and injustice, and the positive doing of good. See 2:2, and n. 26. 5395-A The repetition emphasises both sides of Taqwa: "let your soul fear to do wrong and let it do every act of righteousness; for Allah observes both your inner motives and your acts, and in His scheme of things everything will have its due consequences.
