Riza
"Riza is the sum of good deeds performed to gain Allah's pleasure."
Spiritual & Deep Meaning
In Islamic terminology, Riza refers to the steps taken and behavioral patterns acquired with the aim of attaining Allah's pleasure. For Muslims, the most valuable goal is to reach Allah's Riza. In this regard, the correctness and intention of every action taken are of great importance. Riza is a fundamental goal inherent in Islam and supports the individual's spiritual development. Good deeds lead to Allah's Riza, and therefore Muslims must consider Riza in every action they take. While Riza is an individual goal, it also plays an important role in social peace and harmony. In this respect, Riza is an effective element in both individual and social dynamics.
