The objective of every believer is to acquire the ultimate Pleasure
of Allah Ta'ala, and for that one has to carry out good deeds. These
good deeds fall into two categories: fardh (obligatory) and nafl
(optional). Non-compliance with the obligatory deeds will leave a
believer sinful; therefore, priority has to be given to the obligatory
commands. But, together with this, an ardent effort needs to be
made to perform as many optional deeds as possible.
Allah Ta'ala says in a Hadeeth Qudsi:
"My servant does not get proximity to Me with anything more
beloved to Me than what I have made compulsory upon
him. Thereafter, he continues to gain proximity to Me by
performing optional deeds, until I love him." [Bukhari]
May Allah grant us the ability to please him by performing good deeds and obeying his commands. Ameen.
