Seeking Nearness to Allah Through Good Deeds and Their Preservation 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 gone if we have used them for seeking nearness?
Answer:
If the debtors have not taken them—if your debtors have not taken them—they remain for you on the Day of Resurrection. But if the debtors have taken them, nothing remains for you. So you must not wrong anyone in this matter. If you have wronged someone, you should hasten to seek his forgiveness and give him his right, so that your deeds are safe for you in the Hereafter.
