Good deeds

Surah Taha - verse 112

And he who hath done some good works, being a believer, he feareth not injustice nor begrudging (of his wage).

English translation by Picthall.

"aur jo koi kare kuchh bhalaiyaaN aur woh imaan bhi rakhta ho so ussko dar nahi be-insaafi ka aur na nuqsaan pahunchne ka. "

اور جو کوئی کرے کچھ بھلائیاں اور وہ ایمان بھی رکھتا ہو سو اسکو ڈر نہیں بے انصافی کا اور نہ نقصان پحنچنے کا

Urdu translation by Shaikhul Hind Maulana Mahmoodul Hasan

Spend from your wealth

Multiple times in Quran there is mention of spending from the wealth. Maulana Azad's translation of Surah Baqrah: 254 - O Muslims, Do not spend all that We have bestowed on you exclusively on the promotion of your own personal comforts.

On that day, the righteous deeds alone which one has done here can effect salvation. And remember, those who refuse to believe in this will certainly bring ruin upon themselves.

Piety and activism

Conventional thinking is that piety is becoming gosha-nasheen, removing yourself completely from the world and becoming one with Allah. This verse in Surah Baqarah explains piety: "It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the Allah-fearing."
