In Surah Fatiha, we asked Allah swt to guide us on the path to Jannah. In the beginning of Surah Baqarah, Allah swt is providing us a recipe for guidance. In order to attain guidance, we need to learn this book of Allah swt which has no doubt in it. In order to attain guidance from Quran, we should develop Taqwa (fear of Allah which guides us to do those deeds which bring pleasure of Allah swt and helps us to stay away from those deeds which bring anger of Allah swt). The more taqwa we have, the more guidance we can obtain through Quran. Also for obtainig Hidayah tawfeeq (ability to implement upon the knowledge of deen), we need to attain taqwa of Allah swt. Obtaing Taqwa is not easy therefore, we need to make this dua for attaining taqwa which prophet saw used to make:
Some of the characteristics of muttaqeen are also mentioned in these verses. Muttaqeen have humble, accepting heart who realize their limitations and submit to Allah swt by believing in unseen with full certainty. Belief in unseen is the foundation of our deen. Muttaqeens also establish Salah perfectly which means they perform salah regularly, in prescribed times, fulfilling all its pre-requisites, according to the way described by Prophet saw, giving right to each pillar of salah, with calmness and focus and in congreagation (for men). Muttaqeen spend in the way of Allah through wealth, knowledge, time and skills. Muttaqeen follow the commandments of Quran and they also believe that the previous scriptures were sent by Allah as a source of guidance for the previous nations but the Quran abrogated all the previous scriptures. Muttaqeen are also aware of their accountability to Allah swt on the day of judgement. Because of having all these characteristics, Muttaqeen indeed attain hidayah tul tawfeeq and are truely the successful ones. The true success is indeed to be saved from hellfire and to enter Jannah.
May Allah help us all to attain taqwa and to achieve the true success, Ameen!
