Voluntary Deeds
JamalZarabozo
Allah the Almighty has said, 'My servant continues to draw
near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him.'
[Reported by Al-Bukhari]
On the authority of Abu Huraira who said: The Messenger of
Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Allah the
Almighty has said, ‘My servant continues to draw near to Me with
supererogatory works so that I shall love him.’” [Reported by Al-
Bukhari]
»‫وﻣﺎ‬‫ﻳﺰال‬‫اﻟﻌﺒﺪ‬‫ﻳيﺘﻘﺮب‬‫ﻲﻟ‬‫ﺎﻨﻟﻮاﻓﻞ‬‫ﻰﺘ‬‫أﺣﺒﻪ‬«‫ﺭﻭﺍﻩ‬‫ﺍﻟﺒﺨﺎﺭﻱ‬
Allah, the Creator and Fashioner of humans, has obligated
certain deeds. Those are deeds that are needed by all humans for
the purification of their souls. Beyond those deeds, though, Allah
has left the door wide open for individuals to concentrate on those
deeds that they are most inclined to. For example, some people are
dedicated to their voluntary prayers. Other may be attracted to
fasting, charity or the pilgrimage.
There are others who are more inclined to doing good toward
others. They perform the obligatory deeds and then beyond that
they spend their time tending to others' needs. When these people
tend to those matters, they become the key by which they come
closer to Allah and enter Paradise.
3
This reality is all by the mercy of Allah. Beyond the obligatory
deeds, people are free to pursue those good voluntary deeds that
they are most attracted to. There are so many areas of voluntary
deeds that it seems inconceivable that a person could not find some
voluntary deed or deeds that she would like to perform in order to
get closer to Allah. Allah's path to paradise is wide enough to
accommodate all of those different leanings. However, this is all
dependent on the individual first fulfilling, in general, the
obligatory deeds.

Din M. Zarabozo, pp. 1408-1409
