Question:
How do I control the thoughts that pass through my mind and turn into actions, and make them all good deeds?
Answer:
If bad thoughts pass through your mind and you reject them and do not act on them, they do not harm you, as long as you do not speak of them or act on them. As for good thoughts, they are good and you are rewarded for them. If you carry them out, the reward is greater. Whoever thinks of a good deed but does not do it, one good deed is recorded for him. Whoever thinks of it and does it, ten good deeds are recorded for him, as in the hadith.
