Blessings Of Piety
In juxtaposition to this a man is evil, immersed in sin, suddenly he is inspired by Allah and he becomes pious. This inspiration follows a good deed. For instance, he is inspired first to do a minor good deed through whose auspiciousness Allah causes him to do more good deeds, and, as a result, the doors of Paradise are opened up for him. This is why the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has said:
Let not anyone think little of a pious deed. (Muslim)
How can he know that very deed may bring about a revolution in his life and success with it? Allah may then forgive him. There are innumerable instances of righteous people who began the climb after doing a minor good deed. We must not belittle even a minor pious action. I have written a booklet in Urdu by the name Assan Naykiyan (Easy Good Deeds, in English) which is a collection of apparently small, and minor acts which are termed virtuous and excellent in the Ahadith. If a man performs them then he will add considerably to his pious deeds. Every Muslim must read that booklet and accustom himself to perform those pious deeds.
