Do Not Belittle Any Deed: The Importance of Even the Smallest Good Deeds
ALLAH ﷻ SEES YOU

Do Not Belittle Any Deed
➖➖➖
Allah ﷻ says in the Qur'an:
اَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللهَ يَرَى
Does he not know that Allah sees?
[96:14]
You wouldn't sin if your father or mother or a relative was looking at you,
Are these creations greater than Allah?
Allah ﷻ says:
يَسْتَخْفُونَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ لَا يَسْتَخْفُونَ مِنَ اللهِ
They conceal [Intentions and Deeds] from the people, but they cannot conceal from Allah.
وَ هُوَ مَعَهُم
And he is with them [in knowledge]
[4:108]
Allah ﷻ is watching you anywhere anytime
The people on the day of Judgement would say:
مَا لِهَـذَا الْكِتَـبِ لاَ يُغَادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَلاَ كَبِيرَةً
What sort of Book is this that leaves neither a small thing nor a large thing.
[18:49]
Look how Allah ﷻ mentioned the Little Deeds before mentioning The Big ones.

سبحان الله
You will be faced with your Deeds of this Dunya, in the Akhirah!
Every sin! Every good deed!
Ibn Kathir رحمه الله writes it has left no sin, major or minor, and no action, no matter how small, but it has recorded it with the utmost precision and accuracy.
_
Have you forgotten that Allah ﷻ knows all, sees all, hears all?
And have you forgotten that Allah ﷻ never forgets?
_
And by Allah, do not belittle the little deeds good or bad, they may tip the scale for you or against you.
_
And if you look at what is said about them,
_
The Prophet ﷺ said "the deeds most beloved to Allah ﷻ are those done consistently"
[Sahih al-Bukhari 6464]
_
So do not feel that you are unworthy, but at the same time never be satisfied and always strive to increase reasonably, within your means.
_
And at the same time, do not belittle any sin, no matter how small, for if done consistently, becomes a major sin and requires Tawbah!
_
Be cautious, tread carefully in the Dunya, for everything is recorded and will be an evidence to enter you in Jannah, or to drag you back to Hellfire!
_
Why do you delay repenting?
*آمين*
