never become so inclined towards it. However, you cannot do anything at that time but regret.

Safety lies only in the fact that we start preparing for death before it arrives and start performing virtuous deeds.

Causes for increasing the greed of virtuous deeds

Dear Islamic sisters! Being a Muslim, our desire should be to have the love of this world removed from our hearts. If only the contemplation of the Hereafter could be developed in our hearts. If only our habit of having long hopes comes to an end and if only we could remove the greed of sins and develop the greed of virtuous deeds.

Let’s listen to some Madani pearls in order to attain the passion of virtuous deeds. By the blessings of acting upon them, we will develop the greed of acting upon virtuous deeds, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

1. Supplicate in the court of Allah Almighty

One method for developing the greed for virtuous deeds is to supplicate to refrain from the greed of sins because Du’a saves a person from hardships and calamities and Du’a is the weapon of a believer.

The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: اَلدُّعَاءُسِلَاحُ الْمُؤمِنِ i.e. Du’a is the weapon of believer. (Musnad Abi Ya’la, vol. 2, pp. 201, Hadees 1806)

We should also use this weapon against the worldly greed and supplicate imploringly in the Divine court in order to get rid of the worldly greed.

2. Make a target of few virtuous deeds on daily basis

In order to develop the greed of virtuous deeds, make a habit of reciting       the Holy Quran, performing Zikr, reciting Awraad (invocations) and performing other virtuous deeds on daily basis in addition to performing the Fard acts. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ by its blessings, you will develop further passion for virtuous deeds.
