Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Commanding Taqwa, Wasilah, and JihadAllah commands His faithful servants to fear Him in Taqwa, which if mentioned along with acts of obedience, it means to refrain from the prohibitions and the prohibited matters. Allah said next,وَابْتَغُواْ إِلَيهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ(seek the Wasilah to Him.) Sufyan Ath-Thawri said that Talhah said that `Ata' said that Ibn `Abbas said that Wasilah means `the means of approach'.
