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.”^[2]

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.
