Explanation of the Chapter on Moderation in Acts of Obedience & Preserving Deeds
By Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-'Uthaymeen

Islam is a religion of balance — between extremism and negligence. Imam an-Nawawi devoted chapters of Riyad as-Salihin to moderation in worship and to staying consistent with one's good deeds, and in this book Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-'Uthaymeen explains the verses and hadith of those chapters.

The Shaykh explains why a believer should not burden himself with more than he can sustain, discussing the well-known hadith of the three men who wanted to pray all night, fast without break, and never marry — and the Prophet's ﷺ response that his Sunnah is to pray and sleep, fast and break the fast, and marry. He then shows that the most beloved deeds to Allah are those done consistently, even if small, and gives practical guidance on preserving the deeds a person begins.

A short, practical read for anyone who starts acts of worship with enthusiasm but struggles to keep them up.
