A person who is committed and maintains his prayer, but fears that his prayer will not be accepted; what is your guidance for them?

Question:
I am committed, praise be to Allah, to my religion, and I maintain my prayers, but I always feel fear. When I pray, I feel and fear that my prayer will not be accepted. So what is your guidance? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This may be a form of waswas (whispers from Satan). If it is waswas, seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan and do not pay attention to it. However, if this is the result of being eager to fulfill the obligatory duties and fearing Allah, then it is a good thing, and it is a sign of goodness. People of good deeds, as mentioned in Surat al-Imran, when Allah the Exalted said of them: The meaning of that is that they perform good deeds and fear that they will not be accepted, so this is a sign of goodness, unless it reaches the level of waswas, in which case it is a matter that is not beneficial. One should be alert to it. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
