Question:
This person is asking about the meaning of the verse, O Shaykh: {To Him ascends the good word, and the righteous deed raises it}?
Answer:
Answer: To Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) it ascends, meaning the good word, the good speech, the prescribed speech, such as the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), the recitation of the Qur'an, enjoining good and forbidding evil, and teaching what is good, this ascends to Allah, it is raised to Him (Glorified and Exalted is He), but it must be accompanied by action; words alone without action are not sufficient. {And the righteous deed raises it}. So if a person speaks good words, he acts upon them, and that becomes the cause of his being raised to Allah. As for good words without acting upon them, they are of no benefit.
