People of Piety

About the people of piety, the Holy Qur’¡n says:

Surely the most honorable of you with Allah is the one among you most pious. (49:13)

The Holy Prophet says: On the Judgment Day, Allah addresses people in this way:

أمَرْتُكُمْ فَضَيَّعْتُمْ مَا عَهِدْتُ إلَيْكُمْ فِيِهِ، وَرَفَعْتُمْ أنْسَابَكُمْ! فَالْيَوْمَ أرْفَعُ نَسَبِي وَأضَعُ أنْسَابَكُمْ، أيْنَ الْمُتَّقُونَ؟ إنَّ أكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ أتْقَاكُمْ.

I ordered you (to obey and keep away from Satan) but you ignored the covenant and you exalted your ancestry (which is of no use for this world and the Hereafter); Today, I promote the ancestry which links my servants to me and abase your ties (with your ancestry). Where are the people of piety? Surely, the most honorable of you with Allah is the one among you most pious.[1]
