Doing good improves the community and brings inner peace to ourselves.
Doing good and kindness are essential principles in Islamic life, emphasized in the Quran as well. Living alongside others and interacting with the community requires love, collaboration, and goodwill. In Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 267, Allah addresses the believers, urging them to spend from the best of what they have: "O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth." This verse encourages us towards charity and good deeds that help not only ourselves but also others. When someone takes the initiative to do good, they not only improve the conditions of others but also experience inner peace and joy. In Surah Al-Imran, verse 92, Allah states: "Never will you attain good [reward] until you spend [in the cause of Allah] from that which you love." This highlights that part of doing good requires sacrifice, which ultimately leads to the betterment and cohesion of society. Moreover, doing good in our daily lives positively impacts our social relationships and brings us closer to Allah, earning His satisfaction. A person who walks the path of goodness will reap numerous rewards and blessings on the Day of Resurrection. Therefore, we should always remember that taking the initiative to do good is a noble and commendable act that not only helps others but also contributes to our own growth and success.
O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth.
Never will you attain good [reward] until you spend [in the cause of Allah] from that which you love.
