Importance of virtuous deeds

Dear Islamic sisters! Alas! We are engrossed in the love of this world instead of pondering about the Hereafter. We want to spend our lives by having plenty of money, beautiful and splendid palaces. Just ponder, how long will these things benefit us? Shall we take all these things to our grave? Shall we get virtuous deeds in exchange for them in the Hereafter? Of course, no! This bank balance, wealth and property all will be left in the world; nothing will help us in the grave. It will be only our virtuous deeds that will help us there. It will be our virtuous deeds that will help us to succeed in answering the questions of Munkar and Nakeer. It will be our virtuous deeds that will console us during the terror of the grave. It will be our virtuous deeds by virtue of which the narrowness of the grave will also turn to expansion. It will be our virtuous deeds that will shine brightly in the dark grave. It will be our virtuous deeds that will also become a shield against the torment of the grave. It will be our virtuous deeds that will bring us salvation not only in the grave but also after the grave from the heat of the plain of Mahshar [محشر] and its thirst. It will be our virtuous deeds that will also help us to pass over the Siraat Bridge successfully. It will be our virtuous deeds that will help us during our accountability and bring salvation from the torment of Hell. Therefore become anxious for virtuous deeds.

Three types of friends

The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘Three things go with the deceased: (1) His family members (2) his wealth and (3) his deeds. Then two things return and one stays with him. His family members and wealth return, whereas his deeds go with him.’ (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 250, Hadees 6514)
