Easy Good Deeds to Follow In Your Daily Lives

There are several good deeds mentioned in the Quran and Hadiths that can be followed by Muslims in their daily lives. Making these righteous deeds a part of our routine earns us a great deal of rewards from Allah in this life and the Hereafter.

Significance of Doing Good Deeds

Allah says in the Quran:
“Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do.” (Surah Al-Nahl 16:97)

1. Praying In Congregation In the Mosque (For Males Only) 

The Prophet (S.A.W.) said: 
“The reward of the Prayer offered by a person in Congregation is Twenty Five times greater than that of the Prayer offered in one's house or in the market (alone).” (Sahih Bukhari: 647)

2. Attending Funerals (For Males Only)

The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said: 
“Whoever attends the funeral procession till he offers the Funeral Prayer for it, will get a reward equal to one Qirat, and whoever accompanies it till burial, will get a reward equal to two Qirats." It was asked, "What are two Qirats?" He replied, "Like two huge mountains." (Sahih Bukhari: 1325) 

3. Saying Following Dhikr 100 Times

The Prophet (S.A.W.) said: 
“If one says one-hundred times in one day (Following Dhikr/Dua), one will get the reward of freeing ten slaves, and one-hundred good deeds will be written in his account, and one-hundred bad deeds will be wiped off or erased from his account, and on that day he will be protected from the morning till evening from Satan, and nobody will be superior to him except one who has done more than that which he has done." (Sahih Bukhari: 3293) 

لَاۡ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحۡدَهُ لَاۡ شَرِيۡكَ لَهُ لَهُ الۡمُلۡكُ وَلَهُ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ 
La ilaha ill-Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadir 

(There is no god but Allah Alone, with no partner or associate; His is the Dominion, to Him be all praise, and He is able to do all things.)

4. Upholding the Ties of Kinship

The Prophet (S.A.W.) said: 
“Whoever would like his provision to be increased and his lifespan extended, let him uphold his ties of kinship.” (Sahih Bukhari: 5985)

5. Do the Following Deeds and Reward Is Jannah

It is mentioned in Sahih Muslim’s Hadith # 1028(b) that Prophet Muhammd (S.A.W.) said, “Anyone in whom (following good deeds) are combined will certainly enter paradise.”

6. Saying Following Dhikr 100 times

The Prophet (S.A.W.) said: 
“Whoever says (the following Dhikr / Dua) one hundred times a day, will be forgiven all his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea.” (Sahih Bukhari: 6405) 

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ وَبِحَمۡدِهِ
Subhanal-lahi wabihamdih

(How perfect Allah is and I praise Him)

7. Deeds Equivalent to Charity (Sadaqah)
It is mentioned in Sahih Muslim’s Hadith # 720 that Prophet Muhammd (S.A.W.) said that in the morning, charity is due from every bone in the body of every one of you. Following acts are equal to charity.
Every Tasbihah, saying سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ ‘Subhan Allah’ (Glory be to Allah)
Every Tahmidah, saying ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ‘Al-Hamdu Lillah’ (Praise be to Allah)
Every Tahlilah,  saying لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ ‘La ilaha ill-Allah’ (There is no god but Allah)
Every Takbirah, saying ٱللَّهُ أَكۡبَر ‘Allahu akbar’ (Allah is Most Great)
Forbidding what is evil
Offering 2 Rak’ahs in the mid-morning (Duha) is sufficient

8. Reciting the Quran

The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said: 
“[Whoever recites a letter] from Allah's Book, then he receives the reward from it, and the reward of ten the like of it. I do not say that ‘Alif Lam Mim’ is a letter, but ‘Alif’ is a letter, ‘Lam’ is a letter and ‘Mim’ is a letter.” (Tirmidhi: 2910)

These are only some of the good deeds which are not just easy to follow in our daily lives but they also have huge rewards from Allah. As dedicated Muslims, we should always strive to seek and act upon as many rewarding deeds as possible to pave our path to Jannah. 
May Allah help us in strengthening our Imaan and also accept good deeds of all Muslims. Ameen.
