Ikhlas and Taqwa: Sincerity and Piety

The most important things that give one's life a meaning are taqwa (piety) and sincerity. Taqwa is to curb one's fleshly desires and to strengthen the spiritual potential through prayers to God and doing good deeds for humanity. Hence taqwa is required in every field of life, in our belief, worship, in our dealings with others, even in our every breath.
