The answer

Good deeds are a means of earning reward and recompense, and they are accessible to everyone, regardless of their circumstances. Allah the Almighty says: (Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do).

Among the daily deeds a Muslim can perform are: 1. Performing congregational prayers in the mosque. 2. Following a funeral procession and praying over the deceased. 3. Saying "La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa 'ala kulli shayin qadeer" (There is no god but Allah alone, He has no partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise, and He is over all things competent) one hundred times. 4. Maintaining ties of kinship. 5. Voluntary fasting, visiting the sick, and giving charity. 6. Saying "Subhanallah wa bihamdihi" (Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him) one hundred times. 7. Tasbeeh (glorifying Allah), Tahmeed (praising Allah), Takbeer (magnifying Allah), enjoining good, forbidding evil, and performing Duha prayer. 8. Reciting the Qur'an.

A Muslim seeks assistance from Allah, strives, and perseveres in doing good deeds, even if they are few, for the best of deeds are those that are continuous, even if they are small.
