Doing good deeds while hoping for acceptance from Allah Ta'ala
Question
If someone did a good deed like istighfar, durood or giving sadaqah and is afraid that Allah will not accept their deed, will that make Allah not accept it? I heard someone say that you have to be certain that Allah will accept otherwise it will be not accepted. Kindly clarify.
Answer
No. He should adjust his mind that I am not worthy of acceptance, but through the compassion and love of Allah Ta`ala, He will definitely embrace me with His grace.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
