Man is ‘Ashraf-ul-Makhluqat’ [the best amongst creation], but man cannot do anything without the Taufeeq and favour from Allah Almighty. We worship Him; it is also His grace. For this worship, He عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestows reward upon us which is also His favour. It is the miracle of His unlimited mercy that for some acts of worship He عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestows one reward, for some He عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestows upon us double and for some tenfold, seventyfold or more than this. The deeds for which double reward will be given are being mentioned below:
