My brother, you have to remain patient and adhere to that attitude. If you want to know what is Taqwa I have already explained it a little. Scholars have defined it in more than one definition. It was related to `Umar ibn `Abdul-`Aziz Amir Al-Mu’minin (Commander of the Believers), (may Allah be pleased with him and be merciful with him) said: Taqwa is not just Qiyam-ul-Layl (optional Prayer at night) or performing Sawm (Fast) and doing whatever one wished after that; rather, it means carrying out the obligations ordained by Allah and abandoning what He forbids, no matter what other good deeds he may do. They are all in his favor. Whoever is given divine help to carry out the prescribed obligations and to abandon what Allah forbids and to perform supererogatory (acts of worship) and to abandon what is Makruh (disliked) and doubtful, he is doing better. Talq ibn Habib, the well-known Tabi`y ( a follower of the generation after the Companions of the Prophet), ( may Allah be merciful with him) said:
Taqwa of Allah is to obey Allah (Exalted be He) guided by His Revelations, wishing for the Reward of Allah (Exalted be He), and to abandon disobeying Allah guided by His Revelation and fearing His Punishment). Some other scholars defined Taqwa as obedience to Allah (Exalted be He) and His Messenger (peace be upon him). Others said that it means that you have to keep yourself at a distance from the anger and punishment of Allah as a means of protection through carrying out His commands and abandoning what He forbids. All these definitions are relevant and correct. The essence of Taqwa is Islam It refers to faith and good deeds. It also means useful knowledge and acting according to its requirements. It is Al-Sirat-ul-Mustaqim (the Straight Path) and the submission to Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) through carrying out His obligations and abandoning what He forbids out of complete devotion to and true belief in Him and His messengers, and in all that Allah (Exalted be He) and His messengers told. This true belief only results in doing what is good and leaving what is evil and not transgressing the limits of Allah. Allah (Exalted be He) has called His religion "Taqwa" because it saves those who adhere to it, from His torture and anger. Moreover, faith should lead one to do good only for the satisfaction of Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He). Allah has called his religion Islam because a Muslim submits himself completely to Allah (Exalted be He). They say that someone has submitted to another to refer to the fact that he willingly obeys him. For this reason it is called Islam (submission) in Allah's (Exalted be He) Saying: 
Truly, the religion with Allâh is Islâm.
And in so many other Ayat (Qur'anic verses) because Muslims submit truly to Allah (Exalted be He) and show reverence to His Majesty. True Muslims are submissive to the commands of Allah (Exalted be He). They keep away from what He forbids and they never transgress His limits. They show complete submission to Allah (Exalted be He) and know well that they are only His submissive servants; their satisfaction, delight, love, and pleasure could only be attained through carrying out Allah's Commands and abandoning what He forbids; this is the true Muslim.
That is why he is called a Muslim. That is to say, he is completely submissive to the Commands of Allah (Exalted be He) and abandoning what He forbids and not transgressing His Limits. He knows well that he is just a servant who must submit to the will of Allah (Exalted be He); hence He called
the religion `Ibadah (worship) as He called it Islam.

📌حقيقة التقوى
عن بكر بن عبد الله رحمه الله قال : «لَمَّا كَانَتْ فِتْنَةُ ابْنِ الأَشْعَثِ قَالَ طَلْقٌ : اتَّقُوهَا بِالتَّقْوَى ، قَالَ بَكْرٌ : أَجْمِلْ لَنَا التَّقْوَى ، قَالَ : التَّقْوَى عَمَلٌ بِطَاعَةِ اللهِ ، عَلَى نُورٍ مِنَ اللهِ ، رَجَاءَ رَحْمَةِ اللهِ ، وَالتَّقْوَى تَرْكُ مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ عَلَى نُورٍ مِنَ اللهِ ، خِيفَةَ عِقَابِ اللهِ». الزهد لاين المبارك (1343).
✍تعليق الشيخ عبد الرزاق بن عبد المحسن البدر:
هذا من أحسن ما قيل في حد التقوى وبيان حقيقتها . وقد جمع فيه رحمه الله بين أمرين مبدأ التقوى وغايتها ؛ لأن كل عمل يُتقرب به إلى الله جل وعلا لابد له من مبدأ ولا بد له من غاية ؛ أما مبدؤه وهو أساسه الذي عليه يقوم فهو الإيمان ، وإليه الإشارة في قوله رحمه الله: «عَلَى نُورٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ» ، وأما غايته فنيل ثواب الله والفوز برضاه سبحانه وتعالى، والنجاة من عقابه وإليه الإشارة في قوله رحمه الله « رَجَاءَ ثواب اللَّهِ» ، وقوله «خِيفَةَ عِقَابِ اللهِ».

What is the meaning of Taqwa? Literally it is derived from Waqaa وقى.
وقاية Waqaya
is a shield. You put a shield between you and what you fear of the
anger and punishment of Allaah; you want to make a protection (Waqaya وقاية) for yourself from the anger and punishment of Allaah.
How can you put this وقايا (Waqaya)? By carrying out the command of Allaah and refraining from what He has prohibited.
In the Qur’an, البر (Birr) is usually mentioned with التقوى (Taqwa). When they are mentioned together, as in Surat al-Maa’idah [5:2]:
وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ
“Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety)”
البر (Al-Birr) refers to carrying out the command of Allaah, and التقوى (At-Taqwa) refers to abstaining from the prohibitions. Whenever التقوى (Taqwa) is mentioned alone, it takes both meanings.
Allaah mentioned that He had prepared Paradise for (أعدت للمتقين) Al-Muttaqeen (pious). If you are really seeking Paradise, you have to practice Taqwa. The people of Taqwa are the people of Jannah; therefore one should have Taqwa by acting upon His commandments and abstaining from His prohibitions.
As a student of knowledge, how will Taqwa benefit you?
In Surat al-Anfaal [8:29]:
“O you who believe! If you obey and fear Allaah, He will grant you Furqaan a criterion [(to judge between right and wrong), or (Makhraj,
i.e. making a way for you to get out from every difficulty)], and will
expiate for you your sins, and forgive you, and Allaah is the Owner of
the Great Bounty.”
If you have Taqwa of Allaah, you will secure three benefits:
The first benefit– “يجعلكم فرقانا” – Allaah (Ta’ala) will grant you Furqaan [a criterion (to judge between right and wrong)]
