Chapter 15: About Continuing to do Good Deeds

Translation: Allah said:

Translation: " Has not the time come for the hearts of those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah) to be affected by Allah's Reminder (this Koran), and that which has been revealed of the truth, lest they become as those who received the Scripture (the Torah) and Al-Injeel before (i.e. the Jews and the Christians), and the term was prolonged for them and so their hearts were hardened? And many of them were rebellious. * " (57: 16) And

Translation: " Then, We sent after them Our Messengers; and We sent Jesus, son of Mary, and gave him Al-Injeel. And We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him, compassion and mercy. But the Monasticism that they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them, but (they sought it) only to please Allah therewith, but that they did not observe it with the correct observance. So We gave those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are rebellious. 3/235 (57:27) And

Translation: " And be not like the one who undoes the thread that she has spun after it has become strong, by taking your oaths as a means of deception among yourselves, lest a nation may be given superiority over another. Allah only tests you by this (i.e. who obeys Allah and fulfils Allah's Covenant and who disobeys Allah and breaks Allah's Covenant). And on the Day of Resurrection, He will certainly make clear to you that wherein you used to differ. * " (16: 92) And

Translation: “ And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty (death). * " (15: 99)

Translation: As to the Hadiths, we mention the following:

115. Narrated Omar ibn Al-Khattab: ' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “ He that overslept and did not serve his Hizb or a part of it and recited it between the time of performing Al-Fajr and Ath-Thohr Prayers, it will be recorded for him as if he had recited it by night. " " "

8 Al Hizb, literally means party. It has two meanings in the Islamic terms: a) One half of a Joz ' of the Noble Koran. The Koran is divided into thirty Joz's. b) What a Muslim abides to of good deeds, i.e. reciting the Noble Koran, doing any form of remembrance of Allah such as At-Tasbeeh, At-Tahmeed, At- Tahleel, or doing good deeds such as performing a specific number of Raka'as voluntarily, for the sake of Allah. This is what is meant here.

Translation: 116. Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al-A'as (may Allah be pleased with them): ' Allah's Messenger said to me: " O Abdullah! Do not be like so-and-so who used to offer (Al- Tahjjod prayer) and then slackened from performing it. " (Bukhari)
