One asked: which charity is good one? Replied: the charity when you are energetic and miser, when you fear the poverty, when you long for richness, do not postpone till you reach the last breath.
When one sought his company in paradise, he enquired, anything else? repeated the same: itself, he wanted: please help me with increasing number of prostrations.
Ones he told: increase your prostrations, it will raise you one grade, and erase one fault.
The above verses show that there is no place for sloth in the path of a believer. Enduring passion to achieve abstract goals of life should lead one to outdoing the virtues at the earliest regardless of torrents of worldly wishes. The complete renunciation of worldly joys is not the aim of Islamic life. But to plunge in the worldly life forgetting his aims is not admirable. Everybody will commit sin and the God will forgive all such evils. When committing sins become a habit one does not think repenting or the aura of joy of the worldly pleasures will not help him ward off sins from his life until he breathes the last.
As there are worldly pleasures in different grades, and there is ladder of social status in which the people are categorized according to their incumbent duties in the hereafter world also people will have their own status as per their achievements in this life. The prostration in front of God is one type of worship which will please God and help to raise the grade of a believer. When one increases prostration and repentance it helps raise his grades. There is no oblique strategy to be good in front of the God.
