Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Ahlul-Bayt; Ethical Role-Models Righteous Deed In the previous discussion we referred to the invaluableness of time and proved that lifetime is more precious than the worldly pleasures.

Such being the case, the rational must exploit time properly and spend it with matters that are as precious and significant as the age, such as righteous deeds: The Prophet (S) said: “The intelligent should not take care for anything except three: seeking the worldly earnings, getting supplies for the life to come, and gaining a legal pleasure[^1].” Because man’s whims prompt him, in nature, towards gaining earnings and tangible pleasures as well as the affairs that preclude him from acting righteous deeds and readying for the life to come, many texts from the Quran and hadith have enjoined him to arrange for his life to come: “Whoever has done an atom's weight of good, will see it and whoever has done an atom's weight of evil, will also see it (99-8).” “All righteous-doers among the believing male or female will be granted a blessed happy life and will receive their due reward and more.

(16:97)” “Whoever commits evil deeds will be recompensed to the same degree. The righteously striving believer, male or female, will enter Paradise wherein they will receive their sustenance without any account being kept (40:40).” “One who acts righteously does so for his own benefit and one who commits evil does so against his own soul.

To your Lord you will all return (45:15).” The Prophet (S) said: “Abu Dharr, with the passing of days and nights, your age decreases and your deeds are recorded. Death comes suddenly. One who sows good will soon harvest good, and one who sows evil will soon harvest regret. In fact, each sower will gain that which he sows[^2].” ”Qays, with dignity there is certainly humility, with life there is certainly death, and with this world there is certainly the world to come.

Likewise, there is an interrogator for everything, there is a supervisor over everything, there is a reward for every good deed, there is punishment for every evildoing, and there is a deadline for every age. Moreover, Qays, there will definitely be a companion who will be buried with you alive and you will be buried with him when you are dead. If he is respectful, he will certainly respect you, and if he is disrespectful, he will certainly disrespect you.
