Do Good Deeds To Reach Our Destined Place

This hadith is about the importance of doing good deeds in order to reach our destined place. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was in a funeral procession when he started scraping the ground with a small stick and said that everyone has been assigned either Paradise or Hell-Fire. The people asked if they should depend on it and he replied that they should carry on doing good deeds as everybody will find easy such deeds as will lead them to their destined place. He then recited verse 92:5 from the Quran which states “As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah”. This hadith teaches us that we must strive to do good deeds so that we can reach our destination of either Paradise or Hell-Fire. We must remember that Allah knows best what is best for us and He will reward us accordingly for our actions here on earth.
