O Allah, help me to fast, stand in prayer (at night) and recite the Quran 2. encouraged us to enliven the sunnah of fasting on Mondays and Thursdays every week, as well as the white days of fasting every month.Īmongst the Dua we can recite to assist us in fulfilling the act of fasting is the following:
Other than the obligatory fasting of Ramadan, our Prophet s.a.w. No one else will enter it along with them.įasting is a holistic act of worship that not only requires us to not consume food and drinks during the designated time, but it also requires us to shun obscenities, vulgarities, inward sins and the likes of it. Verily, there is a gate in Paradise called al-Rayyan, through which only those who fasted will enter on the Day of Resurrection. The honorable status of those who fast can be witnessed in the Hadith of the Prophet s.a.w: Even the breath of a fasting person is even dearer to Allah than the fragrant scent of musk. This is how the state of fasting is truly beloved to Allah s.w.t. did not set the limit due to the magnitude of its rewards. Allah Almighty said, ‘Except for fasting, as it is for Me and I will reward it.’įrom this Hadith, we can see the contrast between the rewards for all good deeds in general and fasting in particular. says through the words of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Here are 3 good deeds with unlimited rewards: 1. In fact, there are some deeds which can amount to even more - so much that it remains to be undefined. Such apparent disproportion in favour of good deeds can only mean the beauty of Allah’s mercy. Some of the deeds may even take minimal effort to fulfil but entail bountiful rewards - the sunnah act of smiling to others, wearing appropriately, bathing, performing our prayers, paying the Zakat and so much more. In many Quranic verses or the Prophetic Hadith, readers will come across specific rewards for many good deeds. Indeed, Allah intends good for His creations. But if he performs it, Allah records for him as only one bad deed. And whoever intends a bad deed but did not perform it, Allah records for him as one complete good deed. But if he fulfils it, Allah records for him as 10 to 700 good deeds, or more. He then makes it clear that whoever intends a good deed but did not fulfil it, Allah records it as one complete good deed in his favour. For example, the equilibrium between the ‘compensation’ of good and bad deeds leans toward inviting goodness rather than a neutral or a pessimistical opportunity. This expression of His Divine Mercy is immeasurable. In fact, His Mercy encompasses everything else. Allah is also the Most Merciful (Ar-Rahman), a trait that He describes Himself in the first verse of the Quran. What's interesting to know is that Allah s.w.t.
Your Lord is never unjust to (His) creation. And whoever does evil, it is to their own loss. Whoever does good, it is to their own benefit. This concept of Divine ‘recompensation’ is mentioned throughout the Quran, reminding and prompting us to make the right decisions in life. Bountiful rewards for the doers of goodĪ good deed will be rewarded, and a bad deed will be held responsible. ٱقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِى غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُونَĮver closer to people draws their reckoning, while they turn away, heedless.Įverything will be taken into account from matters such as our deeds, intentions and repentance.
