Hasten Towards Performing Good Deeds

bismillahh

3.133

وَسَارِعُوا إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

Hasten towards the forgiveness from your Lord, and a Garden whose width is that of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteous ~ Surah Al Imraan 3:133

…

What is the meaning of Hastening Towards Khayraat (Good Deeds)?

When man ponders over his existence and creation … Why has he been created? … Who is his Creator? … and how Powerful, Mighty and Supreme He is, then his heart will be naturally inclined towards worshipping and obeying that Mighty Creator : Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala. There will be a strong urge coming into his heart to perform actions pleasing to Allah Taala…

Hence, in the verses above, Allah Ta’ala exhorts the believers to perform actions that are good and full of reward.

When the inclination to do good deeds comes very strongly in one’s heart, then one should not delay, but should immediately do the good deed that he is prompted towards … He should NOT procrastinate.

In Arabic there is a word for procrastination known as ‘Tasweef’. It comes from the Arabic word ‘Sawfa’ which means ‘soon’ … Soon I will do it, or, later on … not now … but, when I get the time …

So what happens … One says : ‘soon’, ‘later on’ , ‘afterwards’ etc etc. All these lead to procrastination, and ultimately one fails to perform that particular deed …

Shaytaan has different ways of luring and enticing a person, deceiving him, ie : by causing him to delay and not performing the good deed …

Therefore, when a person is prompted to do some good deed/action then he should NOT delay. He should rather hasten towards good actions and not leave it for the “tomorrow” that may never come …

Remember! Time is passing by rapidly …

We say that we will do this good action tomorrow, but this strong inclination and desire of doing good later on, may not linger for long, but it may disappear altogether …

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “Be prompt in doing good deeds before you are overtaken by trials/tribulations, which would be like huge chunks of a ‘dark night’. A man would be a believer in the morning and turn to disbelief in the evening, or he would be a believer in the evening and turn a disbeliever in the morning. He would sell his Faith for worldly goods.” – [Muslim]

Lessons from Hadith Shareef ~ Fear Allah Wherever You Are ~ Whether You Are in Public or in Privacy

…

Hadith

Hazrat Abu Zar Jundub bin Junadah (RA) and Hazrat Mu’aaz bin Jabal (RA), reported that the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam, said:  “Fear Allah wherever you may be; follow up an evil deed with a good one, it will wipe (the former) out, and behave good-naturedly towards people.” ~ Al-Tirmidhi

  …

Important aspects discussed in this Hadith :

• Fear Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala in Public and in Privacy

•  The Concept of Taqwa ~ One must be mindful that Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala is watching him and therefore he must only do those things that Allah has commanded him to do and totally refrain from those actions that Allah has prohibited him from doing

• An Important Benefit of Taqwa – Whosoever fears Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala, Allah makes an opening for him from all his difficulties and sustains him from unseen sources

• Follow up an evil deed with a good deed. The good deed will obliterate the evil deed.

• Deal and meet with people with good character.

The Haqeeqat (Reality) of the Dunya

bismillahh

What is the Haqeeqat of Dunya?

This Dunya is transitory, short lived, ephemeral … It is going to come to an end oneday, when it will perish and be totally destroyed by Allah Ta’ala!

 … But the Aakhirah (Hereafter) is Forever.

One has to therefore prepare and build his ‘Perpetual Home’ of the Aakhirah during his life, in this fleeting Dunya … He has to do good deeds in this world to reap its complete blessings in the Hereafter (in the beautiful lofty palaces of Jannah) …

 The moment one’s time in this world expires, the opportunity to do righteous deeds terminate.

 …

Hence, we are exhorted in a beautiful poem by Sayyidina Ali (RA) to perform good deeds ‘now’, before we are overtaken by death and it is too late.

 …

Hazrat Ali (RA) says :

 There is no home for a person after Maut (death), in which he will reside, except that home which he had built whilst he lived in the Dunya, till he passed away …  

 If a person builds his everlasting abode by performing good/pious deeds, then his home will be a beautiful palace in Paradise (Jannah) …

 And, if a person builds his home by doing bad deeds, then he is undoubtedly going to be in utter ruin and perdition …

 …

Therefore, build your PALACE in the most beautiful Jannah that was made by Allah Ta’ala, whose bricks are of gold and silver, cemented by fragrant musk; and whose gate-keeper is the Angel ‘Ridwaan’ … and moreover, you will be honoured by becoming the neighbour of our Beloved Nabi Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam in Jannah …
