Taqwa - Fear of Allah

Taqwa - Fear of Allah: "Taqwa - Fear of Allah
Ibn Juzayy said in his dictionary of terms from the introduction to his tafsir:

'Taqwa's meaning is fear, clinging to obedience to Allah and abandoning disobedience to Him. It is the sum of all good.'

And in his commentary:

We will discuss taqwa in three sections.

First section:

Guidance, because of His words 'guidance for the muttaqeen (the people of taqwa)';
Help because of His words 'Truly, Allah is with the people who have taqwa';
Close friendship [with Allah] because of His words, 'Allah is the close friend of the muttaqeen';
Love because of His words, 'Truly Allah loves the muttaqeen';
Covering over [of wrong actions] because of His words, 'If you have taqwa of Allah He will make for you a discrimination and He will cover over for you your wrong actions';
A way out from unhappiness, and provision from where one does not expect because of His words, 'Whoever has taqwa of Allah He will make a way out for him and provide him from where he does not expect';
Facilitation of affairs because of His words, 'Whoever has taqwa of Allah He will make ease for him in his affair';
Full covering over of wrong actions and magnification of rewards because of His words, 'Whoever has taqwa of Allah He will cover over his wrong actions and magnify a reward for him';
Acceptance of actions because of His words, 'Allah only accepts from the people of taqwa';
Success because of His words, 'Have taqwa of Allah in order that you might succeed';
