once the child enters our lives, we begin striving to earn even more than before.

This is praiseworthy, and we should have concern regarding our children. But look at the unique practice of our pious predecessors. SaꜤīd b. Musayyab رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه would offer prayer in abundance so that his son remained under the protection of Allah, and was safeguarded from calamities, hardships, poverty, and other issues. سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه

May Allah grant us the ability to do the same.

If Allah has granted us the blessing of children, we should begin offering 2 extra units of voluntary prayer, increase any charity we used to give, and recite more Quran. We should begin doing good deeds, which will lead to Allah protecting our children in both worlds and making them pious.  

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                      صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! In this age of tribulations, Mawlana Ilyas Attar al-Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ has given us a unique method of consistently doing good deeds. This in the form of the beautiful and unique Pious Deeds booklet.

He has prepared 72 Pious Deeds for Islamic brothers, 63 for Islamic sisters, and 92 for students. Let us hear the worldly benefits of some of these virtuous actions.

Three worldly benefits of good intentions

The first pious deed from the 72 Pious Deeds is: “Today, did you make at least one good intention before carrying out a permissible action?”

Whilst good intentions have their benefits in terms of the Hereafter, they have many worldly benefits too.
