Seeking Nearness to Allah Through Good Deeds and the Taking of Those Deeds by the Wronged on the Day of Resurrection
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If we seek nearness to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) through our good deeds, will we find them present on the Day of Resurrection, or will they be taken away if we have used them for seeking nearness?
Answer:
They are not taken away by the wronged; they are not taken away by your wronged parties. They are a transaction for you on the Day of Resurrection. However, if the wronged parties take them, nothing will remain for you. So you must not wrong anyone with this sunnah (recommended practice). If you have wronged anyone, you should hasten to seek his forgiveness and give him his right, so that your deeds are safe for you in the Hereafter. Yes.
