that the example of those who spend
their wealth in the way of allah is like
a seed that then grows these seven pods
and in each one of those pods you have a
hundred grains so a total of seven
hundred and allah multiplies his reward
for whom he wills for allah is vast and
all-knowing now with your character you
want to develop these qualities that
effectively serve as those pods and that
they bear all sorts of good deeds that
stem from those qualities and that's
what a makham is a station is in teschia
that you reach this place to where good
becomes your nature because you've
nurtured a certain good quality that
just keeps on producing fruit over and
over again and in the mercy of allah who
rewards all of that
even a single good deed is multiplied
way more than what it technically is
worth whereas on the other hand allah
will never punish anyone with a sin with
more than what the sin is
[Music]
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
said
allah has recorded good and bad deeds
and he made them clear so he said
whoever intends to do a good deed but
does not do it then allah will still
record it as one complete good deeds
and if he intends to do that good deed
and he follows through then allah will
record it as 10 good deeds up to 700
times as much as allah wills
and then if he intends to commit a sin
but he doesn't follow through then not
only does allah not punish him allah
will record for him one complete good
deed because he would have held himself
back and repented now if he goes forth
and he does that sin then allah will
record one single bad deed now when you
read this hadith you obviously marvel at
the mercy of allah
but have you ever wondered what makes a
deed go from 10 to 700 and beyond first
the sincerity of that deed undoubtedly
which we've already covered in multiple
scenes
then it's making sure you don't
shortchange yourself by not doing a deed
fully
so for example what is assalamu alaikum
versus
a man once came to the prophet saws and
he said
the prophet salaam responded he said
ashram ten good deeds
then another man came to the prophet
saws and said assalamu alaikum
warahmatullah peace be unto you and the
mercy of allah the prophet salallahu
said
20 good deeds
then another man came and said
may the peace of allah be upon you his
mercy and his blessings and the prophets
allah said
30 good deeds so they're all technically
the same you're functionally giving
salam but it's the most complete one
that is going to be the most rewardable
on the scale the same thing is true with
the quran every half every letter is 10
good deeds so if as you are reading your
daily recitation if you can read a
little bit more a little bit further
always go past a little bit because that
little extra letter is going to be huge
for you on the day of judgment finish
the surah finish the section whatever it
needs to be
now personally
i i wondered when i read this hadith
what is it about 700 are there any deeds
that are specified as having 700 rewards
is there like a muslim 700 club very far
from the one that's known to people and
it's quite beautiful that you find that
the deeds that the prophet saw islam
specified as being worth 700 all
surround something that was spent with
difficulty for the sake of allah hence
the ayah that mentions the grain that
becomes seven hundred and this was
especially the comfort to those
companions who were poor and they didn't
have much to give
a boom
he narrates that this man brought to the
prophet saws
a she camel and that's all he had and it
had its rope through its nose ring so
that's all he had to give the prophet
salallahu and he said ya rasool allah
this is to be devoted for the sake of
allah i'm giving this for the cause of
allah the prophet salallahu said to him
that on the day of judgment you will
have for this one she camel 700 she
camels each coming forth with a rope
through its nose ring
he commented on the ayah
about seven pods bearing a hundred
grains he said any money that is spent
fifa in the cause of allah and that
includes the money that is spent on hajj
he said the durhams will be multiplied
by 700 for you on the day of judgment
and then there is one deed
and this deed is the one deed that has
been attributed to the over 700. now
allah azza can reward any deed more than
700 and may allah make that the case
with our deeds right he could take the
smallest thing that you do
and turn it into beyond 700 times on the
day of judgment
but the one deed that the prophet saws
specifically connected to this is
actually the one deed that you are doing
right now the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam
the fasting person
has two moments of joy when he breaks
this fast he rejoices obviously at
breaking is fast but the real joy is
when he meets allah subhanahu ta'ala
with that fast the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam said every good deed of
the son of adam will be multiplied
between 10 and 700 times but fasting
allah azza says
except for fasting that is for me and
i'm going to reward it especially i'm
going to reward it in ways that are
further from the spectrum and further
from the imagination of any human being
and of any sincere believer and the
reason why they're not mentioned that
the one who fasts will be given this
reward without measure is that fasting
requires sauber it requires patience
and those who are patient will be given
reward without measure so when allah
says
that allah rewards the patient without
measure while som is
fasting is patience so look at how
amazing the reward is on the day of
judgment and by the way this reward is
not just restricted to ramadan this is
any day of fasting and so when you think
of a deed that you want to bring you
closer to allah on the day of judgment
that you want to bring you joy on a day
where most people are scared and that
you want to weigh on your scale in a way
that breaks every measure that is known
to us then keep up this habit of
well after the month
