المتّقونَ هم أهلُ الفضائلِ: منطقُهمُ الصوابُ، وملبسُهمُ الاقتصادُ، ومشيُهمُ التواضعُ. غضّوا أبصارَهم عمّا حرّمَ اللهُ عليهم، ووقفوا أسماعَهم على العلمِ النافعِ لهم. نزلت أنفسُهم منهم في البلاءِ كالتي نزلت في الرخاءِ. عظُمَ الخالقُ في أنفسِهم فصغُرَ ما دونهُ في أعينِهم.
The pious are people of virtue: their speech is succinct, their dress is modest, their walk is humble. They lower their gaze from what God has forbidden them, and they devote their hearing to useful knowledge. Their souls remain steady in times of hardship just as they are in times of ease. The greatness of the Creator is seated in their hearts, and so everything else appears small in their eyes.
