Allah gave us Islam and commanded us to do good deeds, so a Muslim must have evidence and proof of his sincerity in Islam, and good deeds are the evidence and proof, and these deeds must be accepted according to three conditions that were agreed upon and emphasized by the first Muslims with evidence from the Quran and the authentic Sunnah. These conditions must be met in all deeds, from prayer, fasting, Hajj, and others, even in your studies and seeking knowledge.
The work must be completed within the agreed-upon timeline. The work must meet the quality standards outlined in the contract. The work must comply with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. are:
1- Islam: Islam and monotheism are necessary for Allah to accept our deeds in Islam, as Allah does not accept the deeds of those who associate anything with Him in worship, and the evidence for that is the saying of Allah the Almighty (Allah accepts only from those who fear Him) Surah Al-Ma’idah, meaning Allah accepts the deeds of people who stay away from polytheism.
2- Sincerity: A person must seek the pleasure of Allah Almighty with his work and do righteous deeds for Allah alone and not for people or for his own personal interest. However, if he does righteous deeds without being sincere to Allah, Allah will not accept them from him. If a person does worship to impress people or to say that he is a righteous person or for a worldly interest, Allah will not accept that work from him.
There is a lot of evidence for that in the Quran and the authentic Sunnah, including the words of Allah Almighty (So worship Allah, making your religion sincere to Him) Surah Az-Zumar. The words of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) (Actions are but by intentions, and each person will have but what he intended…) Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim. There is a lot of evidence, but we will suffice with this.
3- Following: By this we mean following the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in actions, words, and other things. In order for your work to be accepted, you must follow what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did in terms of worship and not innovate worship that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not do. There is a lot of evidence in the Quran and Sunnah, but we will only mention the words of Allah Almighty (And whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah) Surah An-Nisaa’.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said (Whoever introduces into our religion something that is not in it, then he is Reply) Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim. Whoever does an action in Islam that is not in accordance with the actions or words of the Prophet, it is rejected and not accepted by God. He is the teacher for us by the command of God Almighty. May God accept good deeds from us and from you.
