<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It urges keenness on doing good deeds, as this draws one closer to Allah Almighty and is a means to the expiation of sins.<br>
2) The encouraged goodness is diverse and abundant, done by words or deeds, or even by good morals. So, where are the silent preachers; those who invite people to Paradise by their conduct and good morals?!<br>
