A Good Life
Bismillah
Allah azza wa jal says in the Qur’an,
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً ۖ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
“Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do” (16:97)
Imam Sa’di rahimahullah says in his tafseer regarding this ayah,
The one who combines faith and good deeds, “We will surely cause him to live a good life” by giving him tranquillity in his heart and peace of mind, and by causing him not to pay any attention to that which could disturb his heart. Allah will grant him a goodly provision from sources he could not imagine, and ”We will surely give them ” in the Hereafter “their reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do”, all kinds of delight such as no eye has seen, no ear has heard and it has not crossed the mind of any man. So Allah will give him good in this world and good in the Hereafter.

Assalaam u alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, how r u all? May Allah bless you all and your families , perfect your light and grant you Jannatul Firdaus. Ameen.
I just wanted to ask Amatul Wudood for a fatwa.
Could you please tell me if it okay to lie to cover up for someone else’s faults by lying? And say, if you wash the dishes and then smn asks you “did you wash them or your sister?” and you reply “My sister” because you want only Allah to know you did it and dont want the reward to be lessened - is this ok?
Please pray for me. Im doing my borad exams. Please pray that my results satisfy my mother. Ameen. After that please pray that my Islamic studies course proves beneficial for me. My mom said she wont forgive me if i get less than a B in any subject or fail (coz there are chances) So may Allah solve this problem and give me good grades and purify our hearts completely and complete our Taqwa, Ameen.
