3 Conditions for Deeds of Worship to Be Accepted by Allah SWT Along with Their Evidences
The purpose of human creation is to worship Allah SWT, as mentioned in Surah Az-Zariyat, verse 56. But worship isn’t just some routine, you know-it needs to meet certain conditions to be accepted and get His pleasure.
The first condition is faith, which is basically the foundation of every deed. Without faith and tawhid, a person’s deeds won’t save them in the afterlife, as explained in Surah Ali Imran verse 85 and Surah Ibrahim verse 18.
The second condition is sincerity, which means only hoping for Allah’s pleasure, not people’s praise. This is emphasized in Surah Al-Bayyinah verse 5 and a hadith narrated by an-Nasa’i. The third condition is that deeds gotta follow the guidance of Prophet Muhammad SAW, like the command in Surah Ali Imran verse 31 and a hadith narrated by Bukhari-Muslim.
Deeds without sincerity and not in line with the sharia can lead to riya and ujub, and even erase rewards, as warned about in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 264 and a hadith qudsi narrated by Muslim.
