Good Actions Could Be Blown Away Like Dust

Good Actions Could Be Blown Away Like Dust 

Sulaiman bin Khalid says; “ I asked Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) regarding the Qur’anic verse

 And We will proceed to what they have done of deeds, so We shall render them as scattered floating dust.

(Surah al-Furqān 25:23)

 He said,

“By Allah, even if their deeds are as white as Egyptian cotton, but if they find sin and lewdness they do not abstain from it.”

(Iddat’ud-Dai)

 In other words, their good deeds are scattered like dust due to the lack of piety, and hence are of no value at all. Allama Majlisi (r.a.) writes in the explanation of this tradition, “Worship and obedience is rendered null due to sin.”
