Description or traits of Muttaqeen - God fearing

A reminder for myself to see if I really fear Allah. As these are the traits of MUTTAQEEN متقين. They are

PATIENT
TRUTHFUL
OBEDIENT
SPEND in path of Allah
SEEK FORGIVENESS IN DAWN

First four are difficult but I think most difficult is to seek forgiveness in dawn. As it is hard to get up at that time. But in Ramadan Allah made it easy as we are already awake in that time. Word متقين is commonly translated as righteous or God fearing But it comes from root وقي, which means to protect oneself. So تقوى is a kind of fear that makes a person to protect himself from every evil. And it is that fear that will encourage a person to be patient, truthful, obedient, and to spend and to seek forgiveness in dawn.
