In the Name of God the Merciful and the Compassionate
– Good deeds are not merely superficial acts, they’re indeed the true belief and action, (sorat Albakara:189)
– the title deed is the dragging vast for the good deed and the alms giving,
– some of the good doers characteristics are; belief in the orders of GOD, bursary acts, worshiping of GOD, fidelity to covenants, practice of patience especially in hardships and war periods… these pertain to the true and pious believers indeed.
[92] By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness – here it means Allah’s Reward, i.e. Paradise), unless you spend (in Allah’s Cause) of that which you love; and whatever of good you spend, Allah knows it well.
[177] It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and each and every act of obedience to Allah, etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, and to Al- Masakin (the poor), and to the wayfarer, and to those who ask, and to set slaves free, performs As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and gives the Zakat, and who fulfill their covenant when they make it, and who are patient in extreme poverty and ailment (disease) and at the time of fighting (during the battles). Such are the people of the truth and they are Al-Muttaqun (the pious – see V.2:2).
[189] They ask you (O Mohammad (peace be upon him)) about the new moons. Say: These are signs to mark fixed periods of time for mankind and for the pilgrimage. It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness) that you enter the houses from the back but Al- Birr (is the quality of the one) who fears Allah. So enter houses through their proper doors, and fear Allah that you may be successful.
