Question:
We return to the questions. This one, may Allah preserve you, says: Allah has granted me the honor of performing Hajj this year, and I ask Allah the Exalted and Mighty to accept it. But he asks: What are the signs that a righteous deed is accepted after Hajj, and I have declared my repentance?
Answer:
If your deeds improve after Hajj and you desire righteous deeds more than you did before, that is a sign of acceptance. Indeed, one of the signs that a good deed is accepted is a good deed following it, and one of the signs that a good deed is rejected is a bad deed following it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1987Hasan (Darussalam) And Allah, (Exalted and Majestic is He), said: "Except for those who repent and believe and do righteous deeds" [Al-Furqan 25:70] So follow up your repentance with righteous deeds. If you repent to Allah in Hajj or otherwise with sincere repentance, let you persist in it by doing righteous deeds and abandoning sins and transgressions in the future of your life; this is the sign of acceptance. Yes.
