"Imam Ali (A) holds that Taqwa is beneficial for all the difficulties and hardships of human beings. In fact, if we do not merely consider the negative aspect for Taqwa and think of it in the same way as Imam Ali (A) did, we must agree that Taqwa is one of the pillars of a person’s life, whether in one’s personal or social life, and that the basis of life would be unstable without it."
