Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever spends a pair of things in the path of Allah, he will be called in Paradise: 'O Worshiper of Allah, this is good'. And whoever is among the people of Salat, he will be called from the gate of Salat, and whoever was among from the people of Jihad, he will be called from the gate of Jihad. And whoever was among the people of charity, then he will be called from the gate of charity, and whoever was from the people of fasting, then he will be called from the gate of Ar-Rayyan". So Abu Bakr said: "May my father and mother be ransomed for you! The one who is called from these gates will be free of all worries. But will anyone be called from all of those gates?" He ﷺ said: "Yes, and I hope that you are among them".
This hadith teaches us to strive to do good deeds as they are rewarded greatly by God Almighty. We should spend our wealth generously for His cause; pray regularly; engage ourselves in activities which benefit society such as helping others or engaging ourselves with charitable works; give charity whenever possible and observe fasting during Ramadan or other days prescribed by Islam. Doing so not only brings us closer to God but also earns us great rewards both here on earth and hereafter on Judgement Day when we shall receive our due recompense for all our efforts made during our lifetime.
