*    We gain the blessings of the heavens and the earth through them.

*    We attain salvation from poverty and dependency.

*    We earn the special help of Allah Almighty.

*    Our lifespan increases.

*    Our willpower is strengthened.

*    Our honour increases.

*    Allah places love of the righteous person in the hearts of people.

*    One important benefit of good deeds is that their blessings do not remain restricted to the one who does good, but his family and offspring also benefit by them.

Safeguarding of orphans’ property

The noble Quran contains a  description of the account of Prophet Mūsā and Prophet Khiḍr عَـلَيْهِمَا الـسَّلَام. At one point in their journey, they passed by a place where Sayyidunā Khiḍr عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم saw a wall that was about to collapse, which he fixed. When Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم asked about the wisdom behind this, Sayyidunā Khiḍr عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم replied:

وَ اَمَّا الْجِدَارُ فَکَانَ لِغُلٰمَیْنِ یَتِیْمَیْنِ فِی الْمَدِیْنَۃِ  وَ کَانَ تَحْتَہٗ کَنْزٌ لَّہُمَا وَ کَانَ اَبُوْہُمَا صَالِحًا ۚ فَاَرَادَ  رَبُّکَ اَنْ یَّبْلُغَاۤ  اَشُدَّھُمَا وَ یَسْتَخْرِجَا کَنْزَہُمَا ٭ۖ رَحْمَۃً مِّنْ رَّبِّکَ ۚ

As for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and their treasure was beneath it, and their father was a righteous man; so your Lord willed that they both reach their maturity and ˹then˺ take out their treasure; ˹it is˺ mercy from your Lord.^[1]
