As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters in Islam,
Twice
"nearest to piety" اقرب للتقوى was mentioned in the Glorious Quran:
1- For forgiving others' faults and debts
وان تعفوا اقرب للتقوى.
2- For being just and standing up for Justice
اعدلوا هو اقرب للتقوى.
See Noble Verses
2:237, 5:8.
Doing these two good deeds would bring the believing Muslim nearest to piety, insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing). Please visit:
