GOOD DEEDS WITHOUT FAITH ALLAH (AZZAWAJAL) IS NULL AND VOID.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum As-sabt, 15th day of Jumaadal Aakhir 1447AH, Saturday, 6th December, 2025.

 BismilLah. 

ALLAH Azzawajal command the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam to say to mankind in Qur'an 14:18 and I quote;

“The example of those who disbelieve in their Lord is that their deeds are like ashes blown violently by the wind on a stormy day. They have no power to gain anything from what they have earned. That is extreme misguidance.” Explanation of the verse. 

1. “Their deeds are like ashes…”

ALLAH Azzawajal gives a powerful parable: the deeds of those who reject HIM, by not adhering to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam, no matter how many good works they think they have done or doing, are like ashes which have no weight, cannot be gathered, and are easily scattered.

This means their deeds will not benefit them because they lack the foundation of eemaan (faith).

2. “…blown by a strong wind on a stormy day.” A stormy day has the most destructive wind. So their deeds will be completely erased, not even a trace remaining. Just like a person trying to gather ashes during a storm which is impossible.

3. “They will have no ability to benefit from what they earned.”Even if they did:

charity, kindness, generosity, good behavior etc. Without belief in ALLAH Azzawajal, these deeds bring no reward in the Hereafter, though ALLAH Azzawajal may reward such people in this world due to the fact that HE is Justice. 

4. “That is extreme misguidance.” The greatest loss is to live life thinking you are doing good but arrive on the Day of Judgement empty-handed. This is deep misguidance, because they lose both this world and the next. To be continued tomorrow with some lessons and reflections. May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen

GOOD DEEDS WITHOUT FAITH IN ALLAH (AZZAWAJAL) IS NULL AND VOID continues. BismilLah. 

Lessons from our reminder yesterday;

1. Faith is the foundation of accepted deeds. No matter how beautiful, generous, or kind an action might appear, any deed disconnected from belief in ALLAH Azzawajal becomes like dust on the Day of Judgement.

Eemaan gives weight to deeds.

2. Do not rely on your deeds but rather rely on ALLAH Azzawajal. Even believers must learn humility as our deeds are fragile. We need ALLAH to accept them. Sincerity (ikhlāṣ) is what gives deeds value

3. Sincerity is everything. A deed done for showing off, for reputation, for worldly gain or for praise…can also turn into ashes, even for a believer. Let's Protect our intentions.

4. The parable reminds us of the Day of Judgement. On that day: deeds will be weighed, intentions will be exposed, only actions done for ALLAH sake will matter. This verse should inspire regular self-checking of our hearts.

5. Ignoring ALLAH Azzawajal leads to ultimate loss. A person may: build wealth, do charity, gain fame, work hard

But if all of it is for the dunya alone, then the akhirah share is zero.

This is the worst form of loss a life full of effort, ending in nothing. May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
