Advice to increase righteous deeds

Question:
I ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to advise the Muslims to increase their recitation of the Qur'an, their standing in night prayer, and their avoidance of backbiting. May Allah reward you with good for us.

Answer:
Yes, this is required of the Muslim: that he provide for himself righteous deeds, such as reciting the Qur'an and reflecting on it, and standing in night prayer and increasing voluntary prayers after maintaining the obligatory ones; for he has nothing left of this worldly life but this righteous deed.
which he takes with him to the Hereafter. He has nothing of his worldly life but righteous deeds. As for luxuries, wealth, status, and other delights of this world, they perish. One fears for their owner regarding their accountability, their disgrace, and the reckoning over them. Let a person have nothing left but his good deeds and righteous works, no matter who this person is in this world, whether he is a king, a scholar, a leader, or wealthy; for he will have nothing left but his deeds. Yes.
