Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

Abu Bakr As-Siddiq radi Allahu anhu is the greatest companion of the Prophet sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam and was always the first in performing good deeds.

The Prophet, sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam, asked: “Who is fasting today?” Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu replied, “Me”. The Prophet, sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam, asked, “Who has followed a funeral procession today?” Abu Bakr, radi Allahu anhu, replied, “Me”. The Prophet, sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam, asked, “Who has fed a poor person today?” Abu Bakr, radi Allahu anhu, replied, “Me”. The Prophet, sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam, asked, “Who has visited a sick person today?” Abu Bakr, radi Allahu anhu, replied, “Me”. The Prophet, sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam, then said, “Any person that has done these four things in one day will enter Paradise.”
[Sahih Muslim]

This hadith shows the virtue of performing four types of actions (i.e. Fasting, Visiting a sick person, Following a funeral procession, Feeding a poor person) in one single day. The person who does these four actions in one day will be granted Paradise. Don't let the opportunity to do any of these four acts pass you by.

May Allah give us the opportunity to do all four actions in one day. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
