It is stated in another verse:

مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّنْ ذَکَرٍ اَوْ اُنْثٰی وَ ہُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْیِیَنَّہٗ حَیٰوۃً طَیِّبَۃً ۚ

And whosoever does righteous deeds, whether man or woman, and is a Muslim, then We shall most certainly grant him a pure life,^{^[1]}

So, we come to know that through the blessings of good deeds, a believer is granted a life full of halal sustenance, piety, purity, peace, tranquillity, and ease.

Three benefits of good deeds

Ḥasan b. Ṣāliḥ رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه said, “Good deeds lead to bodily strength, an enlightened heart, and keenness of vision. Bad deeds cause physical weakness, a dark heart, and loss of sight.”^{^[2]}

Physical strength preserved at the age of 100

There was a major Islamic scholar by the name of Abū Ṭayyib al-Ṭabarī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه. He lived for more than 100 years, yet was still physically and mentally healthy. Someone asked him the secret behind his health, to which he replied, “In my youth, I protected my physical abilities from sin. Due to this, although I may be old today, yet Allah has preserved my physical faculties.”^{^[3]}

Dear Islamic brothers! This is the worldly benefit of good deeds! He who avoids sin and performs good deeds; Allah grants him a life of health, well-being, and peace.
