Excellent Deeds

Man is the slave of God and God is the Creator, Master and Sustainer of man and everything else in the universe. It is man’s moral obligation to follow the Guidance sent down to the earth in the form of the Qur’an as well as the teachings of God’s Last Messenger, Muhammad (may Allah bless and greet him). Here, in this hadith, the Holy Messenger teaches some of the excellent acts.

Belief in God means to believe in the religion of Islam, His Messengers, His Books, Angels, and the Day of Judgement. Exerting in the path of Allah means to make tireless efforts to establish the Deen on earth and declare that the faith is dearer to a believer than his/her own life. In Arabia, as in the rest of the world, the system of slavery prevailed and Islam had on its programme abolition of slavery and deemed it as the greatest good.  To help the needy in the community and to do the work of those who are unable to do it are also virtuous deeds. Even not giving trouble to anyone is an act of charity in the eyes of Islam.
