That is why it is been claimed in the noble traditions that God-pleasing prayers wash the sins away and forgive them. The Holy Qur’an also maintains: “Maintain the prayer at the two ends of the day, and during the early hours of the night.

At the end of this lesson it seems reasonable to claim that good and evil deeds may often affect one’s joy, sadness, or success in some work and failure in others in this world.

For example, being kind to others, particularly parents and relatives, lengthens one’s life and destroys harm and misfortunes.
