The Value of Consistency in Good Deeds

SUMMARY: Doing good deeds consistently is better than doing a lot of them at once.

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: "Take on only as much as you can do of good deeds, for the best of deeds is that which is done consistently, even if it is little".

It also reminds us that even if we are only able to do small acts of goodness, they still have value and should not be overlooked or underestimated.
