Q
What is considered the best deed in Islam according to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)?
A
I asked the Prophet, “What is the best deed?” He replied, “To believe in Allah and to fight for His
Cause.” I then asked, “What is the best kind of manumission (of slaves)?” He replied, “The
manumission of the most expensive slave and the most beloved by his master.” I said, “If I cannot
afford to do that?” He said, “Help the weak or do good for a person who cannot work for himself.” I
said, “If I cannot do that?” He said, “Refrain from harming others for this will be regarded as a
charitable deed for your own good.”
