Taqwa helps one to reach their goals and protects them against their enemies

"Taqwa helps one to reach their goals and protects them against their enemies. In the first place, taqwa gives human beings freedom in moral and spiritual issues, frees them from the chains of slavery of long desires, and gives them a relief from the sufferings of greed, envy, lust, and anger."
