What is the difference between a good deed and a rank, and is the rank multiplied by ten times its value?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, what is the difference between a good deed and a rank, and is the rank like the good deed, multiplied by ten times its value?
The Shaykh : Yes, the good deed is in the action, and the rank is in the reward. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-An'am 6:132], and He said: [Al-An'am 6:160] So the good deed is a description of the action, and the rank is a description of the reward.
Sahih al-Bukhari 7423.
Now, can you bring two people after today? Bring two, let one be from here and one from here.
The Shaykh : Yes, the good deed is in the action, and the rank is in the reward. Allah the Exalted said:
And for all are degrees from what they have done
وَلِكُلٍّ دَرَجَاتٌ مِمَّا عَمِلُواWhoever comes [on the Day of Judgement] with a good deed will have ten times the like thereof [to his credit]
مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَاThere are one-hundred degrees in Paradise which Allah has prepared for those who carry on Jihad in His Cause
وفي الجنة مائة درجة أعدها الله تعالى للمجاهدين في سبيلهNow, can you bring two people after today? Bring two, let one be from here and one from here.
