It means that Muslims should be more obedient to Allah and the Islamic rules with consent to seek some of Allah’s blessing and get to know the reasons why zakat is important.
In the Quran, the surah of An Nisa, verse 59 mentions an obedient way to get through Allah’s blessing. That makes sense that Muslims should do better in their observance of Allah and the Islamic rules in common.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اَطِيْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيْعُوا الرَّسُوْلَ وَاُولِى الْاَمْرِ مِنْكُمْۚ فَاِنْ تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِيْ شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوْهُ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَالرَّسُوْلِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِۗ ذٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَّاَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيْلًا ࣖ ٥٩
“O you who believe, obey Allah and obey the Messenger (Prophet Muhammad) and the Ululamri (those in power) among you. If you differ in opinion about something, return it to Allah (the Qur’an) and His Messenger (the Sunnah) if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is better (for you) and better consequences (in this world and in the hereafter).” (QS 4:59)
2. Comply with Every Obligatory Duty
Comply most of every obligatory duty in Islam is one of the best deeds in the eyes of Allah that can be done by Muslims anytime and anywhere. There are so many obligatory duties in Islam that bring so many benefits to them in seeking some of Allah’s blessing ahead.
As a Muslim, you can start by complying with some of the five pillars of Islam such as having some morning habits in an Islamic way. The Quran is already mentioned in the Surah Ar Ra’d verse 18 below.
لِلَّذِيْنَ اسْتَجَابُوْا لِرَبِّهِمُ الْحُسْنٰىۗ وَالَّذِيْنَ لَمْ يَسْتَجِيْبُوْا لَهٗ لَوْ اَنَّ لَهُمْ مَّا فِى الْاَرْضِ جَمِيْعًا وَّمِثْلَهٗ مَعَهٗ لَافْتَدَوْا بِهٖ ۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ لَهُمْ سُوْۤءُ الْحِسَابِ ەۙ وَمَأْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۗوَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ ࣖ ١٨
“For those who fulfill the call of their Lord (obedient to Allah and His Messenger, provided) the best reward (Paradise). (On the other hand, for) those who do not fulfill His call, if they had all that is on the earth and (plus) that much more, surely they would redeem themselves (from Allah’s punishment on the Day of Judgment) with that (wealth). They are people who will get bad reckoning, their residence is Hell (Hell), and the worst place to live. (QS 13:18)
3. Keep away from Haram Things
Keeping away from haram things is one of the best deeds in the eyes of Allah, which can be applied to Muslims. Haram things would bring bad luck for Muslims and get far away from Allah’s blessing. That is why avoiding every prohibited thing that reminds Haram is better so that you may get some good deeds that have the same rewards as the hajj.
In the Quran, the surah of An Nisa, verse 31 is already mentioned this matter.
اِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوْا كَبَاۤىِٕرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّاٰتِكُمْ وَنُدْخِلْكُمْ مُّدْخَلًا كَرِيْمًا ٣١
“If you stay away from major sins among the prohibited sins (doing them), We will erase your mistakes and We will admit you to a glorious place (heaven).” (QS 4:31)
4. Remember Allah

It can be done from after sunrise to sunset or even through the night, which brings more benefits to Muslims. Moreover, if they’ve done it by taking Dhikr such as to get some benefits of reciting Subhanallah.

“(That is) those who believe and their hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah. Remember, that only by remembering Allah the heart will always be restless.” (QS 13:28)

وَمَنْ يَّعْمَلْ سُوْۤءًا اَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهٗ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللّٰهَ يَجِدِ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا ١١٠
“Whoever commits a crime or wrongs himself, then asks Allah for forgiveness, surely he will meet Allah, Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.” (QS 4:110)
