What are the conditions for a deed to be righteous and acceptable to Allaah?



Muslim’s worship will not be accepted unless it meets three basic conditions: 

1 – Tawheed and Correct Creed.  worship can only be accepted from a Muslim who believes in Allaah alone (Tawheed), as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 
“And We shall turn to whatever deeds they (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners) did, and We shall make such deeds as scattered floating particles of dust” [al-Furqaan 25:23]


2- Sincerity of intention towards Allaah, which means that the person’s intention in all his words and deeds, both outward and inward, is to seek the pleasure of Allaah and none other. 


3 – It should be in accordance with the sharee’ah which Allaah has prescribed, and he should not worship Allaah in any other way. That is achieved by following the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and what he brought, and shunning anything that goes against it, and not inventing any new form of worship that has not been narrated in sound reports from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). 

The evidence for these two conditions is the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): 
“So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord” [al-Kahf 18:110]

Path of Allah


Why is the word darkness mentioned as a plural in the Qura'an while the word light is singular?

Ibn Qyem says: This is one of the miracles of the Qura'an, because there's only one truthful path, while the paths to falsehood are many.

How will your ending be?


AL QADAR: predestination of things and when the predestined matter occurs then it is Al-qadaa.



The 4 aspects of belief in ALQADAR are:

1) Allah's knowledge: Allah's knowledge encompasses everything. He knows what has occurred, what will occur and all that which has not occurred.

  • The manifestation of Allahs ability to create contradicting comparables
  • It manifests the names and actions of Allah such as severe in punishment, swift in reckoning, master of the day of judgement.

2) The writings: Allah wrote everything about the creation. He has written what He says and what He does and all that comes to existence due to His actions and sayings.

  • Fifty Thousand Years Before The Creation of the heavens and the Earth
  • The Writing Following The Creation of Aadam
  • The Taqdeer Allah - 'Umari: Covering the persons life span.
  • Taqdeer-There is the Annual Taqdeer, which occurs in the night of decree (lailatul-qadar)
  • Daily Taqdeer - Yawmi

3) The will of Allah: Had Allah wished for us to follow one book, one legislation and one messenger, at all times and all places, He would have done that.

  • Mashee ah pertinent to His creation and command. It is not necessary that what is being carried out by His creation is liked by Him. He however willed it to pass.
  • Iradah Ash shareeyyah pertinent to Allahs legislation. It is related to what Allah loves and likes whether it takes place or not.

4) The creation: Allah is the sole creator of everything including mans deeds. No single atom or higher element, static or in motion exists, but Allah has created it. Nothing takes place in this world except Allah has created it.

  • The claim made by a sect called Al Jabariyyah-they hold that the people have no free will and are not responsible for their actions, rather they are forced like a feather in the wind.
  • Known as Al-qadariyyah-they deny Al-qadar and claim that an creates his own actions by his own ability and will making creators other than Allah. That is why the prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) called them Majoos (magians) of this ummah," because the Majoos claim that Satan created evil and harmful things, making Satan a creator besides Allah

Miracle of Qura'an




Researchers have found that the region in the brain which is responsible for decision making is the "nasiya" (part of the frontal lobe); this region is activated or exercised during prayer!
Therefore, whenever you plan to make an important decision you're supposed to pray with submission first, and then make the decision in order for it to be successful.. This is from a scientific point of veiw..
However, our Prophet Mohammed PBUH also tells us that we should pray "istikhara" before making any decision for it to be successful!
Whats even more amazing is the the Qura'an links between submission "Khushu'", prayer, and success in the Ayah:  [Certainly will the believers have succeeded:*They who are during their prayer humbly submissive] 23:1-2
