Peace be on you.
Faith is like tree and good deeds are like green branches, flowers and fruits. In Holy Quran virtuous deeds are mentioned as the vital condition for faith. Virtuous deeds are the deeds which are not done for any dissension, oppression, self-liking, pretension, arrogance and destroying others’ rights.
These days, there are Muslim groups who claim strong faith but they are killing their own people and others ruthlessly. The world abhors their sub-human conduct.
History tells that once Muslim government was unable to defend city against Romans, they decided to leave the area. Their Christian and Jews citizens cried and prayed for stay because of their kind treatment and good governance….Those were Muslims of faith and virtuous deeds.
Faith and good deeds attracts attention of the people. This true faith is developed when link is made with Prophet of the time. Otherwise hearts remained split.
Ahmadiyya Muslim Khalifah has asked his Community to practice high morals along with faith. They should demonstrate beauty of true Islam by exercising pure deeds in streets, in cities and in their countries of residence. They should be benevolent to all humanity. They must avoid all kinds of discords, disputes, back-bitings, disrespectful-ness to others, and merciless-ness.
Allah stated in Holy Quran:
"Those who believe and do good deeds , Gracious God will make ‘Wud’ for them." (ch19:v97)
The word ‘Wud’ is used in the verse. It is not ordinary love, it is used for very strong love, which is real, which cannot be end, which is strong as if something is dug in earth. This is the love which has gone deep in heart.
Thus, the verse has the meanings That Allah, will pierce His love in the hearts of believers who do good deeds -- Allah will have strong love for such people -- Allah will put deep love for humanity in the hearts of believers who do good deeds -- Allah will place deep love in the hearts of people of the world for the believers who do good deeds.
Ahmadiyya Muslim Promised Messiah Mahdi said: " If you want that God the Exalted value you, then it is essential for it that you should become virtuous, so that you are considered valuable near God the Exalted. Those who are afraid of God and abide by His directives, He places distinction them and others. The secret for human to get blessings is that he should continue to stay away from sins. Such a person, wherever, he lives he is worthwhile because he spread out virtue, he behaves good with poor, he is merciful to neighbors, he does not do mischief, he does not file false lawsuits, he does not give false testimonies. But he make the heart pure and is engaged towards God. He is called as Friend of God."
