Ittaqullah (Arabic: اتقوا الله) is an Arabic word or word-phrase composed of the words "Ittaqu" (the command or imperative form of the word taqwa[1]), and "Allah". It is found in several verses in the Quran,[2] and appears often in Muslim literature.[citation needed]
It has been translated variously as "fear God",[3] "keep your duty to Allah and fear Him",[4] "guard your duty to Allah",[5] "be careful of (your duty to) Allah",[6] "be pious to Allah",[7] "be aware of Allah",[8][9] to "love and be faithful to", as well as fear Allah,[10] "piety".[11]
An Islamic encyclopedia explains:
...Ittaqullah has been used numerous times in the Quran and means to follow and remain in harmony with the laws of Allah. In verse 5:2 it has been used as an antonym of udwan, or rebellion, disobedience...[11]
