Please post your ideas of "farming" good deeds in this thread.

Peace.

I've realized that giving time, attention, guidance, and comfort to non-believers is a zero-sum game. As illustrated in the Quran, we are not here for them. We are but warners. Giving is the only way of really doing anything meaningful stated in the Quran if I understand correctly. Like, labor for God's sake, supporting fellow believers, helping someone with labor, financially, materially, permitting respite in a place of power, etc.

Are there any specific methods that you send good forward? Does anyone maximize this? Kinda like minmaxxing in an MMORPG.

Peace,

Giving to the poor, warning men, being patient, holding your tongue.

Standing for truth/justice is required I think, but other than that, yes, thanks for the addition. Of course, it shouldn't devolve into an argument. Holding your wrath back is a better way to word it, idk if that's what you meant.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُونُوا۟ قَوَّٰمِينَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ شُهَدَآءَ لِلَّـهِ وَلَوْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ ٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ وَٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ إِن يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَٱللَّـهُ أَوْلَىٰ بِهِمَا فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ أَن تَعْدِلُوا۟ وَإِن تَلْوُۥٓا۟ أَوْ تُعْرِضُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا
O you who heed warning: stand firm with equity, witnesses to God, though it be against yourselves, or parents, or relatives; whether he be rich or poor, God is closer to both. So follow not vain desire lest you be unjust; and if you distort or evade, God is aware of what you do.
