Good deeds and bad deeds

Bismillah, Alhamdulillah wa Salaatuh wa Salaamu ala Rasoolullahi
salallahu alayhee wa salaam.

As Salaamu Alaykunna wa Rahmatullahi. Yaa Ukhwaat & Ya Ukwaa May Allah have mercy on us:


Allah says in Suratun-Nur: "Bad statements are for bad people, and bad people are for bad statements.
Good statements are for good people and good people are for good statements...". (24:26).

Ibn Al-Qayyim says in his book, "Uqoobaatudh-Dhanoob", (Sins and Their Punishments). This aayah has explained that the righteous women are for the righteous men and that the impious women are for the impious men. In addition, as a rule the verse extends to other things as well. Good speech and good deeds are fitting for the upright. Indecent speech and indecent actions are suitable for the unrighteous. Allah has gathered all of the good and placed it in Paradise and
all of the evil He has placed in Hell-fire.
There are three dwellings:

1) An abode devoted to the obedient men and women that are prohibited to those who are disobedient.
It is Jannah and it contains all good.

2) Then there is the place devoted to the disobedient men and women. No one enters this except the wrongdoers.
It is Jahannam.

3) The residence consisting of both the righteous and unrighteous residing together is the Dunyaa.
Trials and tribulations occur within this dominion on account of the mixture of the opposites.
The (situation) is the result of divine wisdom of Allah.

However on the Day of Resurrection Allah distinguishes between the good and the bad. He places goodness and its people in a place alone, free of the company of then wicked, and He appointments for the wicked their place wherein they are alone, separated from the company of the good. Allah brings forth the rewards and
punishments of these two parties based on their deeds.

Subsequently, He makes the good speech; righteous deed and fine character the fountainhead of happiness and pleasure of the virtous. On the other hand, the statements, deeds and character of the wicked are the source of the punishment and agony.

We ask Allah to make us from those who only say and do that which is
good and may He forgive us for when we fall into what is less than
this. Ameen. May Allah forgive us and have Mercy upon us, A'ameen.




Imaam al-Aajurree said: The seeker of knowledge should know that Allaah - The Mighty and Majestic - has made the worship of Allaah obligatory upon him. And that this worship is not possible without knowledge, the seeking of which has also been made obligatory upon him. He should also realize that ignorance is not befitting for a believer. He should seek knowledge in order to dispel ignorance from himself, and to worship Allaah - The Mighty and Majestic - as Allaah has commanded, not as he desires to worship Him. So the seeker of knowledge should strive hard in his quest, be sincere in his striving, and not be amazed with himself. Rather he should recognize that this is a favour from Allaah upon him, since it was Allaah who gave him the ability to acquire such knowledge, by which he is able to fulfill his obligations and keep away from that which is forbidden.
