## Description
When Does Allah Accept a Good Deed?

## Transcript
**[0:00]** When does Allah accept a good deed? Based on an article by Justin Parrott. There are two conditions required for the acceptance of any good deed. Fudail ibn Ayyad said, Allah purifies good deeds and makes them correct.

**[0:15]** Indeed, if deeds are sincere but incorrect, they will not be accepted. If deeds are correct but insincere, they will not be accepted. Rather, they are only accepted if they are both sincere and correct.

**[0:32]** Sincere means they are done for Allah alone. And correct means they are done according to the sunnah, the Prophet's example. The Qur'an says, anyone who fears to meet his Lord should do good deeds

**[0:48]** and give no one a share in the worship due to his Lord.
