though <strong>the</strong> voluntary work is easy <strong>to</strong> perform, <strong>the</strong> corresponding reward is great.<br />

My Muslim sisters and bro<strong>the</strong>rs if you want your work <strong>to</strong> be accepted by Allah and gain<br />

rewards, <strong>the</strong>re are specific conditions for each work.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first condition: <strong>the</strong> intention. Omar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard<br />

<strong>the</strong> Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings <strong>of</strong> Allah be upon him) said: “Deeds are only<br />

according <strong>to</strong> intentions and everybody will have according <strong>to</strong> his intentions.” (Agreed<br />

upon). Any Muslim whose deeds and intentions are completely pure <strong>to</strong> Allah free <strong>of</strong> hypo-<br />

crisy and dissimulation Allah will accept his deeds.<br />

<strong>The</strong> second condition: good deeds should be performed according <strong>to</strong> God’s decree<br />

and his Messenger’s guidance. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, any action that similar <strong>to</strong> actions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> disbe-<br />

lievers and <strong>the</strong> People <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Book, it will not be accepted. In addition, actions that are<br />

innovated or performed <strong>to</strong> satisfy personal desires will not be accepted.<br />

<strong>The</strong> hypocrite’s deeds are rejected because his intention is corrupted, and he is in <strong>the</strong><br />

lowest depth <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fire. Allah, <strong>The</strong> Almighty, says:<br />

“Verily, <strong>the</strong> hypocrites will be in <strong>the</strong> lowest depth (grade) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Fire; no helper will you<br />

find for <strong>the</strong>m”. {145} (An-Nisa’)<br />

Similarly, deeds which are innovated are rejected because <strong>the</strong> deeds are corrupted even<br />

if <strong>the</strong> intention is right as <strong>the</strong> Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings <strong>of</strong> Allah be upon<br />

him) said: “If anyone introduces in our matter something which does not belong <strong>to</strong> it, will<br />

be rejected”. And he said: “Allah retain repentance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> man who practices innovation<br />

until he abstains”. (Al Targheeb and Al Tarheeb by Shaykh Al Albany).<br />

This book was written <strong>to</strong> benefit everybody, <strong>to</strong> gain <strong>the</strong> great reward from Allah, <strong>The</strong><br />

Almighty, <strong>to</strong> increase our good deeds and <strong>to</strong> elevate servants and get <strong>the</strong>m closer <strong>to</strong> Allah.<br />
