Here is an initial list of Righteous deeds/Good deeds which are known as Amala asaalihaat in arabic.

 

This is my compilation and by no means it is exhaustive.

 

I am including it here so that it can be used as a ready reference for you in your day-to-day activities.

 

Rule of the thumb : Try to do atleast one good deed a day.

  • Speak softly

  • No harm to others

  • No back biting/Vain talk
