Does "He will make righteous for you your deeds" in the verse include a person's worldly actions or only acts of worship?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The interpretation of the verse (O you who have believed, fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice) includes two matters: 1. Words of appropriate justice (al-qawl al-sadeed): This refers to speech that aligns with what is correct, and it includes reciting the Quran, remembrance (dhikr), enjoining good and forbidding evil, seeking knowledge and teaching it. It also encompasses gentle and kind speech, and offering sincere advice. 2. Rectification of deeds: Piety (taqwa) and speaking words of appropriate justice lead to the rectification of deeds and their acceptance by Allah, because Allah accepts from the pious, and He grants the servant success in righteous deeds. The rectification of deeds includes the forgiveness of sins, success in performing good deeds, being blessed with sincerity in them, and Allah's acceptance of them.

These blessings extend to worldly life, such as lawful provision and a good life for those who do righteous deeds while being believers. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly achieved a great triumph by being saved from the Fire and entering everlasting bliss.
