The "everlasting good deeds" (Al-Baqiyat Al-Salihat) are: saying "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is the Greatest), "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah), "Subhanallah" (Glory be to Allah), "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah), and "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah" (There is no might or power except with Allah). It was also said that they are the five daily prayers. Ibn Al-Arabi mentioned that they encompass every good deed, and he inclined towards them being the five daily prayers.
