• إِضَافَةٍ لِمَا أَكْرَمَهُمْ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْوَرَعِ وَالتَّقْوَى،

  In addition to the piety and God-consciousness with which God has honored them,

  وَالتَّقْوَى — and the God-consciousness. 'Wa-' joins this to the previous virtue as a second item in the same list, so it too falls under the explicative 'of' and stands in the genitive. With 'al-' it is definite, naming God-consciousness alongside piety.
