Hadith on Taqwa: Only people of knowledge fear Allah

Mu’awiyah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “O people, knowledge only comes by learning, and understanding only comes by seeking understanding. For whoever Allah wills goodness, He grants him understanding of the religion. Verily, only those with knowledge fear Allah among His servants.” (35:28)

عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا الْعِلْمُ بِالتَّعَلُّمِ وَالْفِقْهُ بِالتَّفَقُّهِ وَمَنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ وَإِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ
