QUESTION
Explain the effects of good deeds in a society in a comprehensive manner.
 Good deeds:
In Islam, a Muslim should perform a good deeds and is very important
for the pleasure of Allah Almighty (SWT), without having any greedy wish in
response or reward in mind. It gives every person an inner calmness and
happiness as well which leads to mental fitness and divine uprising on the
other side. A good deed is an action that is familiarized as compulsory or
indorsed in religious mien. Being a Muslim it is our duty to act as a good
and well mannered person and spread happiness and goodness. A good
 deeds help a person to become a respectable and a well standard in
his/her life. We can suppose ourselves in our daily routine that we get the
reaction of our actions directly and of course, being a Muslim we believe
that Allah Almighty will give the rewards of our bad and good deeds in the
day of judgment but we also face it in our lives as well. If we do good with
others through our life we will definitely succeed and achieve our goals
here as well and if we do bad with others we will definitely have to pay for it
in different ways like we can not be happy and we can not hope any good
rewards from Allah Almighty.
Allah (SWT) says in the Quran “Indeed, good deeds do away with
misdeeds” [surah hud, 11:114]
The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said “The best of the deeds or deeds is
the (observance of) prayer and it`s proper time and kindness to the
parents” [Sahih Muslim]

 Effects of good deeds in a society:

No doubt, good and bad deeds of any person has a giant impact on
his/her life and in a society where he/she is living as well and there are
many customs for a person to do a good deeds. I will remark some vital
types of good deeds through which a person can assuredly make Allah
(SWT) happier and I will try to define them.
As Allah (SWT) mentions in Quran
“And Allah increases those who accept guidance, (in) guidance. And the
everlasting good deeds (are) better near your Lord (for) reward and better
(for) return.” [Surah Maryam 19:76]

Charity (Sadaqah):
Giving a wealth in charity has a positive effect in a society and it
becomes a medium to help the people living in poverty alliance. There are
different types of needy people in our society for whom charity is a blessing
and a way to survive. The person who gives in charity feels an inner and
unstoppable happiness. Charity is used to create equality in a society and
charity can be given in any forms a person can afford.
Allah (SWT) said in Quran:
“Believe in Allah and His apostle, and spend (in charity) out of the
(substance) whereof He has made you heirs. For, those of you who believe
and spend (in charity),- for them is a great Reward .”  [Surah Al-Hadid, 57:7]

Forgiveness:

Forgiveness means not to take revenge from others. As a Muslim we

should follow the foot steps of our Holy prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who
even did not took revenge from his enemies and that’s why till today he is
the number one leader and human being ever born in this world. We face
some troubles in our daily life and we get two choices either to react
directly or maybe deal with it in a positive way. The person who faces it in a
positive way definitely gets a positive result and has chance to survive in
any society.

Allah (SWT) said in Quran: “And let them pardon and overlook. Would you
not like that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is forgiving and merciful.”
[surah An-Nur 24: ayah 22]

Volunteer work:

We can do different type of works as a volunteer, Boy Scout or maybe

as a Girls Guide. It means that we can work for the progress of our society
without taking any salary etc. The work can be in any form like a university
or college student can gather all the school boys of his/her society around
him/her and can teach them free in a free time because every parent can
not afford a tuition fee in this time. Moreover, young youth of the society
can make an organization and execute it for fund raising etc.

As the Holy Prophet said:

This means: “Seeking the [obligatory] religious knowledge is an obligation

upon every Muslim.” [Related by al-Bayhaqiyy]
Kindness:

Being kind to everyone is indeed a one of the best deeds in a society.

As we face different type of people in our society like old, young, children
and women etc. we should face them accordingly and behave as a good
citizen with them. As a Muslim we should know the rights of our family
members and neighborhood etc. we have to treat everyone according to
the command of Allah Almighty and his prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Prophet Muhammad (SWT) said: “O Aisha, Allah is gentle and He loves

gentleness.  He rewards for gentleness  what is not granted for harshness
and He does not reward anything else like it”
