"Whoever guides [another] to a good deed will get a reward similar to the one who performs it." [Sahih Muslim]
Do you know of ways of doing good unto others or earning lots of good deeds? I'm sure you do know of some ways. Here's a chance for you to participate in this game but you must follow two simple rules.
Rule 1: You get to mention one good deed that others can do easily. (Yes, LIMIT ONE. lol )
Rule 2: You get to post your good deed only after you select one of the suggestions given by members participating in the game and make the intention of doing it. You can do it now or a month later. I don't even care if you don't actually do it. Making the intention is an easy thing to do and that's all you gotta do before you post a suggestion.
For example, if I make a post saying:
Smile!
You would have to select the post I made and intend to "smile" and only after you have made the intention to do so can you post your suggestion or good deed.
Remember that Allah rewards you even for intending to do a good deed. Alhamdulillah! And imagine if someone not just intended to do the good deed, but also acted upon it! YOU would get rewarded for your suggestion every time a person acts upon it! Even if a person intends to do it, you would still get rewarded. So this is not a futile exercise. Rather it's a very profitable one.
So you ready to make some profit that you'll get to see in the Hereafter? Let's do it!

Reason: to add in some motivational details.... :)
It is pointless to watch other people's houses crumbling when our own house is in need of repair and attention.
Recite Sura Ikhlaas 3 times. That would be like reciting the whole Qur'an.
Pray Salatul Doha (2 rakats minimum - 20 minutes after the sunrise till 20 minutes before Salatul Zuhr), as it is charity due on every joint of the body.

If you begin to live life relating to the God who is all around you, every moment becomes a prayer.

I intend to, sister. It's just that it's hard to be consistent in it.
Anyway, I get to post my next good deed suggestion....
Gladden the heart of a Muslim. (Give your Mom a pleasant surprise or a hug.)

Jazakallah khair sister k. aleena. The deed you have mentioned is one of the best that can be recommended, if not the very BEST! Alhamdulillah!
Here's my good deed suggestion for the day. If you do this, you go to PARADISE.
Say the following du'aa, considered the best du'aa for forgiveness:
'Allaahmma anta rabbee laa elaaha illaa ant. Anta khalaqtanee wa ana 'abduka wa ana 'alaa 'ahdika wa wa'dika mastata't. A'oothu bika min sharri ma sana't. Aboo'u laka bi ni'matika alayya wa aboo'u laka bi thambee. Faghfir lee. Fa innahoo laa yaghfiruth-thunooba illaa ant.'
[O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god besides You. You created me and I am Your servant, following your covenant and [my] promise to you as much as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil that I have done. Before You I acknowledge Your blessings bestowed upon me and I confess my sins to You. So forgive me, for surely no one can forgive sins except You.]
The Prophet [صلى الله عليه وسلم] said, 'Anyone who says this during the day, firmly believing in it, and dies before the evening; or says it in the evening, firmly believing in it, and dies before the following morning, will be among the people of Paradise.' "
[Sahih al-Bukhari, vol 8, pp212-3, no 318]

Jazakallh for the beautiful dua sister!
Recite Surah Al-Zalzalah.
Abdullah Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, "Whoever recites Surah Zalzalah (99) will get the reward of reciting half the Qur'an." [Tirmidhi]
Pray Salatul Doha (2 rakats minimum - 20 minutes after the sunrise till 20 minutes before Salatul Zuhr), as it is charity due on every joint of the body.
May Allah reward you sister Hannah. First, that I made an intention to pray Salatul Doha....and second, that I did indeed pray Salatul Doha this morning.
I wouldn't have done it if it hadn't been for your suggestion. Jazakallah khair!

I didn't know that I would get reward of reciting half the Qur'an! Well, I'm going to intend doing it. And when I actually do it, I will post it here. That way you will know that your good deed suggestion made some profit. Heh heh.
My good deed suggestion for today is:
Mow your neighbor's lawn. Or do something nice for your neighbor.
