The Meaning of the Poet's Saying: "And Likewise the Ascending of the Everlasting Good *** to Him from the Deeds of the One Who Has Faith"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said:
"And likewise the ascending of the everlasting good *** to Him from the deeds of the one who has faith"
The everlasting good deeds are every righteous deed. Allah the Exalted said:
Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one's] hope. المال والبنون زينة الحياة الدنيا والباقيات الصالحات خير عند ربك ثوابا وخير أملا
[Al-Kahf 18:46]
So the everlasting good deeds are all righteous deeds, including dhikr, fasting, Hajj, prayer, and others. The author says that they are raised to Allah, based on His saying:
and righteous work raises it والعمل الصالح يرفعه
[Fatir 35:10]
Whoever raises it—Allah the Exalted raises the good word and the righteous deed, and He raises it to Him, and He accepts it.
