The second question: Honorable Shaykh, regarding the preservation of good deeds, what is the way to achieve it? And how can a Muslim preserve these good deeds so that they benefit him in the Hereafter?

He should avoid what invalidates good deeds, such as major and minor shirk (associating partners with Allah). He should avoid backbiting and speaking ill of people. He should avoid consuming the rights of people. He should preserve his righteous deeds from what devours them. He should avoid envy, for envy devours good deeds just as fire devours wood, as stated in the hadith. Yes.
