Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:


If a person has the desire to perform a good deed but, due to some excuse, is unable to do so, he will receive a reward because of his good intention.


If someone attempts to do a good deed but, due to some obstacle, is unable to complete it, he will still be deserving of reward.


If one has the desire to commit a sin but is unable to do so, or tries to commit the sin but does not succeed, he is still considered sinful.


If the desire to commit a sin arises in the heart, but one refrains from committing it for the sake of Allah’s pleasure, then he will be rewarded.


Love for good deeds and hatred for evil, as well as love for those who do good and hatred for those who do evil, are also causes for reward.
