I asked Allah's Apostle, "O Allah's Apostle! What is the best deed?" He replied, "To offer the prayers at the early fixed times." I asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I further asked, what is next in goodness?" He replied, "To participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause." I did not ask Allah's Apostle anymore and if I had asked him more, he would have told me more [ 051:041 Shahih Bukhari ]

 

[Isma'el]

i always taught j1had was the ultimate deed...ie battle in the way of Allah...?

 

[DaSangarTalib]

Jihad Fi Sabillilah (i.e. physical one) NOT jihad of the nafs

 

[hamzaa]

Must be safeguarding muslim borders..........


w/salaam

 

[Isma'el]

i love this hadith...Allah hu akbar

Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to Allah's Apostle and said, "Instruct me as to such a deed as equals jihad (in reward)." He replied, "I do not find such a deed." Then he added, "Can you, while the Muslim fighter is in the battle-field, enter your mosque to perform prayers without cease and fast and never break your fast?" The man said, "But who can do that?" Abu- Huraira added, "The Mujahid (i.e. Muslim fighter) is rewarded even for the footsteps of his horse while it wanders bout (for grazing) tied in a long rope." (Book #52, Hadith #44)

To know that, God is God.

Thanks

[Khaldun]

It also depends from person to person, if you are a person that indulges in haram abstaining from it becomes a great deed of virtue. Next question might be, "but I saw this other hadith that said so and so" yet it has to be seen within context.

 

[nimrod]

Second greatest thing:

To love thy neighbor.

Thanks

[Hussein radi]

iTS CONVERTING PEOPLE IT ISLAM. MY MOTHER TOLD ME THAT:giggling:

 

[cool_jannah]

The greatest single deed a person can do is to sacrifice something for Allah, which he loves the most. So the best deed a person can do is to stop doing (something disliked by Allah) that a person always has a habbit of doing.

 

[extinction]

im sure there are hadith which state the greatest deed.....and what is meant by greatest deed? the one that carries most reward? or is most pleasing to Allah s.w.t?
