God-consciousness and guarded piety in Islamic ethical speech. Not fear as bare affect alone, and not zuhd as renunciation.

Also known as Taqwa

Islam

  • Taqwā appears in Islam.

    The Qur’an makes taqwā — mindful fear/guarding of God — a central demand and praise. Islamic God-consciousness speech in that revelation, not piety as the English virtue already walked and not fear as bare dread alone.
