The Wise Words of Shaykh Abd al Qadir al Jilani
Method of collective accountability (72 Pious Deeds)
The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, “Pondering ˹over the Hereafter˺ for a moment is better than 60 years of worship.”[1]
Let’s make good intentions before filling in the Pious Deeds booklet:
1.To please Allah, I will hold myself to account through the Pious Deeds booklet and encourage others to do the same.
2.I will praise (i.e. thank) Allah Almighty for the pious deeds which I practised.
3.I will regret not acting upon the pious deeds I missed out on and will try to act on them in the future.
4.Allah Almighty forbid, if I have not acted on any pious deed which prevents a person from sinning, I will repent to Allah and make a firm intention to not sin in the future.
5.I will not reveal my good deeds without a need (for example, by saying that I acted on such and such or so and so amount of pious deeds).
6.I will make up for any pious deed that can be performed later (for example, I will make up for the 313 ṣalāt I missed yesterday by reciting them today).
7.I will try to achieve the actual aim of filling in the Pious Deeds booklet, such as attain the fear of Allah, be pious, have good character, and spread Islam.
8.I will fill in the Pious Deeds booklet tomorrow as well.
9.I will not fill in the Pious Deeds booklet as a formality, rather I will actually assess my deeds and fill it in.
