Fear Allah wherever you are

Arabic

اتَّقِ اللَّهَ حَيْثُمَا كُنْتَ، وَأَتْبِعِ السَّيِّئَةَ الْحَسَنَةَ تَمْحُهَا، وَخَالِقِ النَّاسَ بِخُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ.

Translation

Fear Allah wherever you are. Follow a bad deed with a good one to wipe it out. And deal with people with good character.

Commentary

Three commands mapped to three relationships: with Allah (taqwā), with yourself (tawbah), with people (akhlāq). A complete syllabus compressed into one sentence.
