My Lord Nurtures Me

Preservation of Deeds

One of the most profound ways Allah nurtures us eternally is through the preservation of our deeds. Unlike human systems, where efforts can be forgotten or overlooked, Allah ensures that every action—big or small—is recorded and rewarded accordingly. This divine system serves as an encouragement, a reminder of accountability, and a means of eternal reward.

  1. Every Deed is Recorded by Angels

Allah, in His infinite wisdom, has assigned angels to document every action we perform. These angels, known as the Kiraman Katibin (The Noble Recorders), are commanded to record every word and deed of a person.

إِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ

“Indeed, over you are [appointed] keepers, noble and recording; they know whatever you do.” (Al-Infitar 82: 10-12)

This verse assures us that nothing escapes Allah’s knowledge — our good deeds, sins, and even our intentions are preserved. This system ensures fairness, as no act of righteousness goes unnoticed, nor does any wrongdoing go unaccounted for.

  1. Even the Smallest Good Deed is Preserved

Unlike human systems where small acts of kindness may be forgotten, with Allah ﷻ, nothing is lost.

فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُۥ وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّۭا يَرَهُ

“So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.” (Az-Zalzalah 99 :7-8)

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ المَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا، وَلَوْ أَنْ تَلْقَى أَخَاكَ بِوَجْهٍ طَلْقٍ

“Do not belittle any good deed, even if it is meeting your brother with a cheerful face.” (Muslim, 2626)

  1. The Multiplication of Rewards

Allah does not just preserve our deeds — He also multiplies the rewards for good actions.

مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَاۖ وَمَن جَآءَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجْزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

“Whoever comes with a good deed will have ten times the like thereof, and whoever comes with an evil deed will not be recompensed except the like thereof, and they will not be wronged.” (Al-An’am 6: 160)

Interesting Fact:

Some good deeds can be multiplied 700 times or more based on sincerity and circumstances!

  1. The Preservation of Intentions: The Mercy of Allah

Even if a person intends to do good but is unable to act upon it, Allah still records it as a full good deed. The Prophet ﷺ said:

إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَالسَّيِّئَاتِ، ثُمَّ بَيَّنَ ذَلِكَ، فَمَنْ هَمَّ بِحَسَنَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ عِنْدَهُ حَسَنَةً كَامِلَةً

“Indeed, Allah has recorded the good deeds and the bad ones. Then, He made it clear: Whoever intends to do a good deed but does not do it, Allah records it as a full good deed. If he intends to do it and does it, Allah records it as ten good deeds, up to seven hundred times or even more.”” (Bukhari, 6491)

Trust in Allah’s Perfect Preservation

Allah’s system of preserving deeds ensures that every moment matters. His mercy allows even intentions to be rewarded, multiplies our good deeds, and gives us everlasting rewards through continuous charity.
