Doing Good things
This is an Vague idea. Just wanna do some good things.
Don't know How to do Good things...
Yesterday By God's Grace I escaped from death and major accident is avoided. I called up my father he said.
My son do some good things before you die.
He also said When death comes to one of us, we say, "My Lord, send me back and So that I do good some Good things up to your satisfaction". I don't know how far he is telling truth but in my Heart something says its true.
I am trying my best to help my father and wish to stop all extra expenses. No Movies.. No Entertainment..No unwanted expenditure... To start good work decided and donate 1% my salary to poor people as give free ration for a month. Like World Food day.At least the they send some extra money to their parents back home.
I request all of you to spend minimum 1% of your salary to poor people and who really need of food.If my salary is 20000 then at least 200 Riyals of worth of ration to the poor people. You can see the Joy and satisfaction from their faces. GOD will be definitely satisfied and definitely watches our MIND intensely. This is following GOD. One small step of 1% and GOD will help you unaccountable percent.
We don't know when death knock us and we have to do good things to the satisfaction of GOD or SELF.
If Good Minds are connected together World will flourish with cooooool breeze and full of life force....The generation will change and human beings live to the satisfaction of GOD. GOD feels satisfied if we start saving blessings rather money....
Excellent. However I would advise you not to be too stringent or hard on yourself. Don't focus on renouncing your simple pleasures in life. Just focus mainly and sincerely on helping others, and with the intention of doing it for God. Opportunities for charity abound, as there are many underprivileged people. You can do volunteer work, and definitely make a plan to donate money or food to the needy.
Just keep trying to be helpful, and yes, you will encounter discouraging people on the way. Don't let them dishearten you.
All the best!
thoughts and well done, i am also thinking in the similar lines, but not implimented so far, hope this will be implemented, but shunning all entertainment and other stuffs are not encouraged, because we need all those things alongwith helping poor people as well,
Helping poor and needy people will give immense satisfaction, but we should make sure that we are helping the really needy people,
Inshallah i will also impliment soon the same strategy of helping poor from my percentage of salary.
To me doing good deeds:like benefiting those around us, helping people in need, and making others happy, not to mention abstaining from social evils,shunning gossiping and backbiting,avoiding lying except if it is to bring about peace,guarding your tongue and limbs from hurting and insulting anyone, etc are indeed ways of living life to the full! May God reward your efforts and make dedicating your life to better causes easy upon you..Aameen.
And yes this is of our (Islamic) beliefs too that those who pass away,when faced with God, often wish to go back to the world in order to do more good deeds, which we believe is of course impossible. Hence whilst alive do all you can to be a better human being, son, parent, sibling, friend, neighbor,employer/employee etc.
Besides all that, the whole feeling of actually bringing about peace, joy and happiness to another's life is to me a truly exhilarating experience that makes life worth living!

If not too late, Its right time to start atleast from Ramadan month, careing for the poor, helping them when they are in tears are noble way of getting gods blessings.
A noble thought indeed. However, life should be lived. You shouldn't forego completely things like movies, meals etc. A kind word, a nice gesture also bring their own rewards.
A very kind deed. Not sure that all will follow. Good deeds do not mean you have to give up doing what you like though.
And a good deed doesn't have to be giving money to charity. It can be a smile or just helping someone.
Do good things and good things will happen to you. And perhaps watch My Name Is Earl. He does good things and good things happen - karma!
Even a single grain which is donated is counted !
