Conditions for Acceptance of Deeds in Islam
TWO CONDITIONS FOR A DEED TO BE ACCEPTED
FIRST CONDITION – Done Sincerely For The Sake Of Allah
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
" Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said: 'I am the least in need of a partner. Whoever does any deed in which he associates someone else with Me, I will reject him and his deed. '"
: Sahih Muslim 2985 (7475)
SECOND CONDITION – Done According To The Sunnah Of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)
Actions should be in accordance with the only way that Allah has prescribed for worship, which is following the Prophet (ﷺ) in the laws that he brought. It was narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
” Whoever innovates something into this matter of ours (Islam) which does not belong to it will have it rejected .”
: Sahih Bukhari 2697
