Sa

d ibn Abi Waqqas (r.a.) honesty, faith and the depth of his sincerity made any Du'a he made accepted. Also , Sa'd always sought to support his piety by halal food; with great insistence he always refused to take doubtful money.

It was in this way that he became famous among his companions for his prayer, which was like a sharp sword. He knew that about himself; therefore, he never cursed a person. 

An example of that is what 

Aamir ibn Sa

d once narrated: Sa

d Ibn Abi Waqqas (r.a) once saw a man insulting

Ali, Talhah and Az-Zubair. Sa'd forbade him, but he didn’t stop. Sa

d then said, “Then I will invoke Allah against you.” The man said, “You’re threatening me as if you were a Prophet.”

Sa

d went away, performed his ablution and prayed two rak

ahs. Then he lifted his hands up and said, *“O Allah, if You know that that man has insulted people who have already been granted by You that which is the best and his cursing of them has annoyed You, then make an example out of him.”*.. Only a short while had passed, when a stray camel went out of a house. Nothing could stay it till it entered a crowd as if searching for something. Then it attacked the man, and he fell between its legs. It continued to kick the man down till he died.

*Lessons from the above:*

Your "Faith & Good Deeds" brings you closer to Allah, and in turn make your Du'a, a sharp sword like that of Sa'd (r.a).

The reality is,

Allah (s.w.t.) is closer to us than our jugular vein. Yes. Our relationship with Allah (swt) does not end nor will it weaken simply because we are not in the mosque. Everywhere you stand on His earth, you are His servant and slave. He watches over your heart. So continue to do good.

As Muslims,

We should strive to please Allah SWT and gain His blessings with as many good deeds as we can so that we may benefit in this life with success, ease, good health, and other blessings, but also and most importantly earn the ultimate reward: Jannah, Paradise.

Servants of Allah!

You might have noticed that the Quran and the Ahadith are full of ideas when it comes to what kind of good deeds we could try to accomplish to meet these lofty goals. As a matter a fact, the more you will learn about the Quran and Sunnah, the more examples you will find, especially small deeds like greeting your Muslim brother/sister, doing dhikr, or removing a potentially harmful object from a path, frequent giving of Sadaqah etc.. This is because Allah SWT wants ease and success for us.

Forget not that,

What we eat or drink have a significant effect on our Du'a to Allah (swt). Yes. This is proven in the Hadith no 10 in al-Nawawi, where the Prophet (pbuh) mentioned [the case of] a man whose Du'a is supposed to be accepted because he was on a far journey, is dishevelled and dusty and who spreads out his hands to the sky [saying] : "O Lord! O Lord!" - while his food is unlawful, his drink unlawful, his clothing unlawful, and he is nourished unlawfully, so how can he be answered !"
