17. Deeds which invite Happiness

Allah says in Surah al-Baqarah, Ayat 277:

"Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve."

There are many deeds which, if done regularly make Allah pleased with the person who has done them.

We should do good deeds because other people benefit from us. By being good we are obeying Allah and pleasing Him. Also we will have a good feeling by helping others.

Some of these are listed below:

1. Waking up early in the morning for Salatul Shab, and Salatul Fajr.

51:15: "As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs,

51:16 "Taking joy in the things, which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life."

51:17: "They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night,"

51:18: "And in the hours of early dawn, They (were found) praying for Forgiveness;"

2. When you wake up in the morning, say Salamun Alaykum to your parents and ask them if there is anything you can do for them

3. Reciting Qur'an in the morning before going to school or work. Prophet Muhammad (S) has said:

4. Giving help to those in need. Everybody gets help from Allah. Allah likes those people more who are kind to others and try hard to help them.

5. Giving to the poor. Allah has given you your wealth. You should be thankful to Him by giving it to others who need it.

6. To pray Salaat ON TIME. Our 6th Imam (A) has said: "Whoever does not pray on time is not of us."

7. To tell the truth at all times. Prophet Muhammad (S) has said:

We are also told that lying is the mother of all evils, since when you lie, you will start to do other bad things as well.

8. To be a host (have a guest in the house). Prophet Muhammad (S) has said:

This does not mean that the sins of the family will disappear! It means that the guest gives a chance to the family to be good and hospitable. If the family are good hosts, Allah will be pleased with them, and with His mercy forgive them of their sins.

9. To wash your hands before and after meals.

10. To be in a state of Taharat (clean). Always perform Wudhu before sleeping, eating, praying Qur'an or offering Salaat.

11. To say Salaat e Jamaat. Prophet Muhammad (S) has said that if you have already offered your Salaat, and you come to a mosque where Salaat is being recited in Jamaat, you should offer your prayers again to please Allah.
