Question : He says: What are the signs of the acceptance of deeds after Ramadan? And is there any advice for persisting in deeds after Ramadan?
Answer : Based on what we know from the texts of the Book and the Sunnah, we guarantee that the deeds of everyone who is sincere to Allah in his worship and follows the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) will be accepted. This is because Allah did not command us to do deeds and then have us do them as He willed, Mighty and Majestic, in vain. If He did not accept from us what met all the conditions, that would be a form of futility, and Allah the Exalted is free from futility. So, my brother, if you hope in your Lord and hope prevails, and you have feared Allah as much as you were able in your fasting, your standing in prayer, and your month, then this is a sign of acceptance. As for a person who is negligent in his fasting and in his month and does not care, and the most he thinks is that fasting is merely abstaining from food, drink, and intercourse, then Allah the Exalted takes charge of his affair, and his affair is left to Allah.
