B. TAQWA {And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine.} [Surah at-Talaq (65): 2-3] {And if the people of the towns had believed and had Taqwa (piety), certainly, We should have opened for them blessings from the heaven and the earth, but they belied (the Messengers). So we took them (with punishment) for what they used to earn.} [Surah al-Araf (7): 96] {And if only they (the Jews and the Christians) had acted according to the Taurat, and the Injeel, and what has (now) been sent down to them from their Lord (the Quraan), they would surely, have gotten provision from above them and underneath their feet} [Surah al-Maidah (5): 66] {If they (the non-Muslims) had believed in Allaah, and went on the Right Way (i.e. Islaam), We would surely, have bestowed on them water (rain) in abundance.} [Surah al-Jinn (72): 16] {If you give thanks (by accepting Faith and worshipping none but Allaah), I will give you more (of My Blessings); but if you are thankless, verily, My punishment is indeed severe.} [Surah Ibrahim (14): 7] Many Muslim owners of companies and establishments, and even some employees and workers, know that they are engaged in (things which are) violating the Shariah(Islaamic Legislation), irrespective of what they say and claim. They know very well, even before others (have to address them), that they are engaged in forbidden acts like riba (usury & interest), gambling, deceiving (illegal) contracts, helping one another in sins and other forbidden things. Some of them know it for sure that they are really involved and entangled (in the things which are Haraam), but the love of wealth and fear of poverty makes them stick fast to these prohibited acts and practices (muharramaat). And the best of them in such a state will say to you: Excuse me! But give me a substitute for this prohibited act, so that I may leave it. How strange! How do you expect a substitute from Allaah s.w.t. while you do not want to leave these sinful ways? You alone will be accountable for the wrongs which you have committed. Replacement comes only with leaving the forbidden (Muharramaat). {Verily, Allaah will not change the condition of a people as long as they do not change their state themselves.} [Surah ar-Rad (13): 11]
