The Holy Quran 10:63 — Surah Yunus

Arabic text

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ يَتَّقُونَ

Translation

(The friends of Allaah are) Those who have Imaan and who adopt Taqwa (they do what Allaah commands and refrain from what He prohibits).

It has already become clear on several earlier occasions that iman (faith) and taqwa have many degrees.
