We praise Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, we send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad,

O Allah, O Allah, O Allah, He has sent him, his household and all his companions,

may Allah bless them and may he bless every single one of us.

My brothers and sisters in Islam, every one of us should be having a stock of good deeds.

We should be having perhaps a number of good deeds that we've done,

that we can be holding with us so that on the day of Qiyama,

we would be having something to place on the right side of the scale.

And I'm convinced that every one of us has engaged in good deeds and continues to engage in

whatever good deeds possible. So that is a good note, it is something really encouraging.

However, it is important for us to get the best deal, isn't it?

Every time we have something we want to buy and purchase, if it costs especially now in this

country, for example, things are quite expensive, it would be worth your while to shop around

and to make sure that the deal you're getting is worth it.

It would be foolish for you to buy something for two dollars somewhere and find it elsewhere for

eighty cents and you would actually want to smack yourself. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala protect us.

So similarly, we have something that we find in the Hadith of Rasulullah,

Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam, that tells us what the best deals are when it comes to your deeds.

Because I like to read my Salah, I like to, for example, do so much that I can and I'm sure we

all are the same. Whatever is made easy for us, we do in terms of good. But when is it that I will

get the most out of my deeds? So in inshaAllah, we will spend the next few minutes talking about this.

Point number one, we do things for the sake of Allah without wanting a reward from humankind.
