Praise be to Allah SWT, the Most Gracious and Most Merciful God. May peace and blessings always be upon Prophet Muhammad SAW, the messenger of Allah who brings mercy to all the worlds.
Today, let’s explore the understanding of the rewards for doing good in the world according to the teachings of Islam. We cannot deny that every good deed we do will bring goodness and rewards, both in this world and in the hereafter. However, in this cult, we will focus on the rewards for doing good in the world.
Allah SWT in the Quran says in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:261):
“The example of (the expenditure incurred by) those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a grain of seed that grows seven ears, in each ear a hundred grains. Thus does Allah explain (the parables) to mankind so that they may always remember.”
This argument teaches us about the wonders of the rewards given by Allah SWT to those who do good in the world. When we give alms or help others, it seems like planting seeds of goodness. The seed will grow into seven grains, and each grain will produce a hundred seeds. This is an illustration of the miracle of the reward of good deeds in the world.
The reward for doing good in the world is not only material, although it can also be realized in the form of abundant sustenance. But more importantly, this reward also creates happiness, peace, and more harmonious relationships in our lives. When we do good to others, we create strong bonds of love, build solidarity in society, and inspire others to do good.
In addition, the reward of doing good in the world also brings blessings in the form of luck, protection, and peace of mind. When we do good, we get a sense of satisfaction and inner peace that is difficult to measure with material things.
So, let’s cultivate in ourselves the habit of doing good to others, no matter how small the deed. We never know how great the reward that God has prepared for us in this world. Every good deed, every smile, every help to those in need, are all good investments that will bring blessings in our lives.
For that, let’s commit to becoming better at doing good, because every good deed in this world has a great value in the eyes of Allah SWT. May God always bless and guide us in living a life full of love and blessings.
