Bismillah.
O son, to have taqwa is our aim, but what is taqwa? A wise man said, "There are five fortresses one has to cross before attaining taqwa (obedience or fear of Allah):
1. Accepting hardship instead of blessings
2. Accepting labor instead of comfort
3. Accepting obedience to self-pride
4. Accepting silence to useless talks and
5. Accepting death to life."
