Solving the Problems of the Muslims
The Holy Prophet, peace be on him and his progeny, says: "One who passes his days and nights and does care for the affairs of the Muslims (and does not strive to solve any problem of the society) is not a Muslim". (Usulul Kafi, p.390)
* * *
When the Holy Prophet, peace be on him and his progeny, was asked about the person whom Allah likes most, he replied: "He is the person who is more useful to the Muslim society then all others". (Usulul Kafi, p.391)
* * *
And he said in other words: "The best among the people is the one from whom people benefit more". (Biharul Anwar,Vol.XV, p.124)

Imam Ja'far Sadiq, peace be on him, says: "The record of the activities of everyone is closed after his death and thereafter he does not receive any reward or punishment except in three cases: The first one is the 'alms recurring benefits' (useful works) which he leaves behind himself and another is a good habit which he leaves as his remembrance and the third one is a dutiful child who prays for his deliverance (and if he has committed any sin his child makes amends for it". (Biharul Anwar, Vol.III, p.175)

The Holy Prophet, peace be on him, and his progeny, says: "Allah gives spiritual reward equal to that of reciting four hundred verses of the Holy Qur'an to a person who removes from the path of the Muslims that which inconveniences them". (Biharul Anwar, Vol.XV, p.13)
