Things that nullify Good Deeds according to the Sura of Muhammad (Peace be upon him) An objective study

Abstract

The research addresses an objective study on the things that nullify good deeds as reflected in the Sura of Muhammad (may Allâh’s blessings and peace be upon him) and aims to identify the reasons why good deeds can be neutralized. The word “’amal” (deed) and its different derivatives occur twelve times in the Sura in question.
I relied on the deductive inductive approach in addition to studying, analysis and connection.

 Main findings:

1-  Allâh is completely aware of His servants’ deeds and He holds them accountable for them, be they good or bad. Whoever performs good deeds will receive a generous reward while wrongdoers will be punished.

2-  Misdeeds are normalized for their perpetrators as a punishment appropriate for following their personal inclinations and their incompliance with the commands of Allâh.

3-  The nullifiers of good deeds, the most serious of which is unbelief, are to be avoided.

4-  Practicing Jihad is the best devotion that preserves a servant’s reward and righteous deeds.

The things that counteract the nullifiers of a believer’s good deeds are as follows:

1- Faith and obedience to Allâh and His Prophet.

2- Practicing Jihad against enemies.

3- Not to make unconditional concessions to the enemies.
