Signs of the Acceptance of Righteous Deeds

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, from the questioner's questions, he says: What are the signs that my righteous deeds have been accepted? And how do I know that it was accepted from me? May Allah reward you both.

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) No one knows this except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). But we perform righteous deeds, we hope for the reward of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and we do not despair of His mercy. This is what is required of us.
As for acceptance, it is with Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). But a person must be sincere in his work for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and rectify his intention in his work. These are the signs of acceptance: Taqwa (mindfulness of Allah). If he is mindful of his Lord, then Allah accepts from him. If he is a believer who is mindful of Allah, it is likely that Allah will accept from him. Among the causes of the acceptance of deeds is the mindfulness of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Likewise, the signs of acceptance, and Allah knows best, are the expansion of the chest and the pleasantness of the soul with obedience, and the soul's love for good. And among the greatest signs of acceptance is following a good deed with a good deed, and following righteous deeds with righteous deeds. This is among the signs of acceptance, that Allah has accepted from him and guided him to continue in righteous deeds. Yes.
