Signs of the Acceptance of Deeds and Guarding the Tongue
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner, Amjad Muhammad from Dammam, asks: What are the signs of the acceptance of deeds? And how can we guard our tongues from backbiting and talebearing?
Answer:
The acceptance of deeds is with Allah, but you must do the things that lead to or cause acceptance. The greatest of these is sincerity for Allah, for Allah does not accept a deed unless it is pure for His face, Glorified and Exalted is He. And whatever contains showing off, seeking fame, or shirk (associating partners with Allah), Allah, Mighty and Majestic, does not accept it. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:27] So you should fear Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, so that Allah may accept your deeds. Yes.
