good deeds which can

letter.'‘ [At-Tirmidhi].

to two huge mountains.'‘ [Al-
Bukhari and Muslim].

blotted out from his record.'‘

(there is no true god except Allah. He is One
and He has no partner with Him; His is the
sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is
Omnipotent),' he will have a reward equivalent
to that for emancipating ten slaves, a hundred
good deeds will be recorded to his credit,
hundred of his sins will be blotted out from his
scroll, and he will be safeguarded against the
devil on that day till the evening; and no one
will exceed him in doing more excellent good
deeds except someone who has recited these
words more often than him.'‘ [Al-Bukhari and

and He has no partner with Him. His

eating moist earth from extreme thirst. The
man thought to himself: `This dog is extremely
thirsty as I was.' So he descended into the well,
filled up his leather sock with water, and
holding it in his teeth, climbed up and
quenched the thirst of the dog. Allah
appreciated his action and forgave his sins".

me, guide me, guard me against
harm and provide me with

`Abdullah bin `Abbas (May Allah be pleased
with them) reported: Messenger of Allah
(Peace Be Upon Him) said that Allah, the
Glorious, said: "Verily, Allah (SWT) has
ordered that the good and the bad deeds be
written down. Then He explained it clearly
how (to write): He who intends to do a good
deed but he does not do it, then Allah
records it for him as a full good deed, but if
he carries out his intention, then Allah the
Exalted, writes it down for him as from ten to
seven hundred folds, and even more. But if
he intends to do an evil act and has not done
it, then Allah writes it down with Him as a
full good deed, but if he intends it and has
done it, Allah writes it down as one bad
deed". [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
