The Result of Good Deeds Let us scroll through the Glorious Qur’ān and Ahādīth of Rasūlullāh sallallāhu ‘alayhi wasallam to see what Allāh ta‘ālā has promised for those who fulfil these two responsibilities of Īmān and good deeds. 1. Peace and tranquillity is attained in this world Whoever, male or female, has acted righteously, while being a believer, We shall certainly make him live a good life (i.e. a life of peace and tranquillity)... (16:97) 2. All the creation will love him and he will be regarded as the best of creation Surely, those who believe and do righteous deeds, for them the All-Merciful (Allāh) will create love (in the hearts of His creatures). (19:96) As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, they are the best of all human beings. (98:7) 3. Immune from fear and grief Surely those who believe and do good deeds, and establish salāh (prayer) and pay zakāh will have their reward with their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve. (2:277) 4. Husn Al-Khātimah – a successful and good death Surely, those who have declared: – Our Lord is Allāh, then remained steadfast (i.e. continuously performed Al-A‘māl As-Sālihah), on them the angels will descend, saying, – Do not fear, and do not grieve; and be happy with the good news of the Jannah (Paradise) that you had been promised. (41:30) 5. Comfort in the grave Allāh keeps the (perfect) believers (i.e. those who do good and do not transgress) firm with the stable word in the worldly life and in the Hereafter (i.e. grave). (14:27) 6. Shade of the throne and mercy of Allāh ta‘ālā Seven types of people shall be under the shade of Allāh when there will be no shade except His Shade: A just ruler, a young man who spends his youth in the worship of Allāh (i.e. good deeds),... (Al-Bukhārī) 7. Easy reckoning So, as for him whose book (of deeds) will be given to him in his right hand (as a result of his Īmān and good deeds), he will be called to account in an easy manner, (84:7-8) 8. Forgiveness and good reward Allāh has promised those who believe and do good deeds: For them there is forgiveness and a great reward. (5:9) Those who believe and do righteous deeds, We will expiate their bad deeds and will give them a better reward (than their expectation) for what they used to do. (29:7) 9. Entry into Jannah and great rewards and bounties As for those who believe, and do good deeds, they are the people of Paradise - there they will live forever. (2:82) And those who believed and did good deeds shall be admitted to Gardens beneath which rivers flow, living there forever by the will of Allāh. There they shall greet each other with ‘Salām’. (14:23) As for those who believe and do righteous deeds, of course, We do not waste the reward of those who are good in deeds. Those are the ones for whom there are eternal gardens, rivers flowing beneath them. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold, and they will be dressed in green garments, made of fine silk and thick silk, reclining therein on couches. Excellent is the reward and beautiful is the Paradise as a resting-place. (18: 30-31) …As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, they will be in meadows of the Gardens. For them there is, with their Lord, whatever they wish. That is the great bounty. (42:22) As for those who believe and do good deeds, He shall give them their reward in full, and give them more out of His grace. (4:173) 10. High Rank And whoever will come to Him as believer, having done righteous deeds, for such people there are the highest ranks. (20:75)
