Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:


While performing good deeds, one should not have the intention that it will lead to praise and honor.
However, a believer does receive the reward of good deeds in this world as well, and he attains honor.


The love of the masses for a righteous believer is a favor from Allah; therefore, one should express gratitude to Allah for it and be cautious that feelings of pride and self-admiration do not arise in the heart.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: By "the Days of Allah" are meant those days in which Allah, the Exalted, bestowed favors and blessings upon the previous prophets and their communities. That is why, in Surah Ibrahim, it is stated:
﴿وَذَكِّرْهُمْ بِأَيَّامِ اللَّهِ﴾ "And remind them of the Days of Allah," that is, admonish and advise them regarding the favors and blessings of Allah, the Exalted.
And (remind them) that He destroyed and annihilated their enemies.
