Transliteration:( Wa aqeemus salaata wa aatuz zakaah; wa maa tuqaddimoo li anfusikum min khairin tajidoohu 'indal laah; innal laaha bimaa ta'maloona baseer )
217. This verse hints that Salaah is greater than Zakaat because it precedes Zakaat in this verse. All laws of Shariah were revealed on earth but Salaah was presented to the Holy in the heaven on the Prophet occasion of Me'raj (the Night of Ascension) Salaah is indeed Allah's cherished gift for man.
218. This verse suggests that on the Day of Judgement you will either receive the reward of these good acts, or acts equal to these. In the Hadith it is mentioned that on the Day of Judgment all good deeds will appear in a beauteous manner in front of their doers.
219. This verse hints that only those good deeds will be rewarded which were done during one's lifetime. After death certain servants of Allah are engaged in remembrance of Allah (Zikrullah) and the recitation of the QUR'AAN, but there is no reward attached to these good deeds. However, the reward of Sadqa-e-Jariyah e.g. building of a Mosque or Madressa, etc will continue to accrue to the person even after his death because such deeds were accomplished by the person during his lifetime. The benefits of such deeds are eternal. This helps to solve the question of conveying the reward of virtuous deed to souls of the dead. Although the pious people are engaged in the remembrance of Allah in their grave, but those living people who are engaged in the remembrance of Allah for which they receive reward, can convey this to the souls of the deceased.
