Importance of Good Deeds

Doing a deed and doing the deed with good intention are separate things. The intention that doing this deed will reward a Muslim with virtues and help to attain the mercy of Allah in this world and afterward then this surely is a base that Allah will accept the deed and will reward accordingly. The Holy Prophet ๏ทบ said about the intention of good deeds in a way:

ุฅู†ูŽู‘ู…ูŽุง ุงู„ู’ุฃูŽุนู’ู…ูŽุงู„ู ุจูุงู„ู†ูู‘ูŠูŽู‘ุงุชูุŒ ูˆูŽุฅูู†ูŽู‘ู…ูŽุง ู„ููƒูู„ูู‘ ุงู…ู’ุฑูุฆู ู…ูŽุง ู†ูŽูˆูŽู‰ุŒ ููŽู…ูŽู†ู’ ูƒูŽุงู†ูŽุชู’ ู‡ูุฌู’ุฑูŽุชูู‡ู ุฅู„ูŽู‰ ุงู„ู„ูŽู‘ู‡ู ูˆูŽุฑูŽุณููˆู„ูู‡ู ููŽู‡ูุฌู’ุฑูŽุชูู‡ู ุฅู„ูŽู‰ ุงู„ู„ูŽู‘ู‡ู ูˆูŽุฑูŽุณููˆู„ูู‡ูุŒ ูˆูŽู…ูŽู†ู’ ูƒูŽุงู†ูŽุชู’ ู‡ูุฌู’ุฑูŽุชูู‡ู ู„ูุฏูู†ู’ูŠูŽุง ูŠูุตููŠุจูู‡ูŽุง ุฃูŽูˆู’ ุงู…ู’ุฑูŽุฃูŽุฉู ูŠูŽู†ู’ูƒูุญูู‡ูŽุง ููŽู‡ูุฌู’ุฑูŽุชูู‡ู ุฅู„ูŽู‰ ู…ูŽุง ู‡ูŽุงุฌูŽุฑูŽ ุฅู„ูŽูŠู’ู‡ู

It is narrated on the authority of Amirul Mu’minin, Abu Hafs ‘Umar bin al-Khattab RA who said:

I heard the Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ say: “Actions are (judged) by motives (niyyah), so each man will have what he intended. Thus, he whose migration (hijrah) was to Allah and His Messenger, his migration is to Allah and His Messenger; but he whose migration was for some worldly thing he might gain, or for a wife he might marry, his migration is to that for which he migrated.” [Bukhari & Muslim]

So, a person who wants to get reward and blessings from Almighty Allah, should perform good deeds with good intention.

Meeting for Allah

Meeting a Muslim for Allah only is an act of great merit. Meeting for Allah means meeting not for the sake of any mundane gain, but for Allah’s pleasure only; for instance one may go to meet a learned man or a sage in order to learn something for self-improvement or one may meet someone to please him believing that giving pleasure to a Muslim pleases Allah. Both these cases are meetings for Allah and, Allah willing, shall earn much merit.

Sayidina โ€˜Abdullah ibn โ€˜Abbas RA narrates that Rasulullah ๏ทบ said:

โ€œI will inform you with regards to your males in Jannah: the Ambiya will be in Jannah, the truthful ones (Siddiqin) will be in Jannah, the martyrs will be in Jannah, that man who visits his brother in the outskirts of the town with no intention other than for the pleasure of Allah will be in Jannah, and with regards to your womenfolk in Jannah: An affectionate and fertile woman, that woman who when anger is shown to or anger overcomes her, she comes to hold the hand of her spouse, and then says: I will not sleep until you are happy.โ€ [Al-Muโ€™jamul Kabir]

We all have friends, some more than others, whom we meet from time to time. Sometimes you just bump into a friend, and you just greet each other and it is very quick and you move on, but at times you purposely and intentionally go and visit a friend, if you had to just make the intention that I am going to meet my friend for the sake of Allah, then there are many rewards that you could accrue for yourself.

This hadith shows that meeting a Muslim for the sake of merit also increase one’s good deeds in the Record. But it should be noted that this order relates only to meeting those whose company does not cause any religious loss; but if it is feared that the meeting would cause one to be involved in a sin or to be adversely affected, or one would be compelled to listen to tirades against third persons or lose much time in senseless talk, then such meeting must be avoided.
