Worldly benefits of righteous deeds

O those who love Allah’s Messenger! It is a reality that good deeds never expire! As for the reward for good deeds that will be given in the Hereafter, what words can be used to describe this? Allah has prepared such bounties for the Muslims who do good deeds, which no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no heart has even imagined.

Allah declares in the Quran:

وَ لَاَجْرُ الْاٰخِرَۃِ اَکْبَرُ ۘ

And certainly, the reward of the Hereafter is greater.^{^[1]}

Alongside this, one also witnesses the positive outcomes of good deeds in this world. In fact, Quran and hadith explain many worldly benefits of good deeds.

Worldly benefit of good deeds: a peaceful and virtuous life

Allah proclaims in the 30^th verse of of Sūrat al-Naḥl:

لِلَّذِیْنَ اَحْسَنُوْا فِیْ ہٰذِہِ الدُّنْیَا حَسَنَۃٌ ؕ وَ لَدَارُ الْاٰخِرَۃِ خَیْرٌ ؕ

For those who did good deeds in this world, there is goodness. And undoubtedly the abode of the Hereafter is the best.^{^[2]}

Regarding this, Tafsīr Ṣirāṭ al-Jinān says: “Those who believed and did good deeds; they will receive its good reward in the world too.”^{^[3]}
