The Two Necessary Conditions For The Acceptance of An-Action

* Know that Allaah (swt) does not accept any action from any doer,unless it satisfies two basic conditions:

1.) That is done purely for the sake of Allaah

Evidence:
"Verily, We have sent down the Book to you (O Muhammad) in truth: So worship Allaah (Alone) by doing religious deeds sincerely for Allaah's sake only, Surely,the Religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allaah Alone."---Az-Zumar:2-3

2.) That it is in conformity with the guidance of the Messenger of Allaah(saw)

Evidence:
From 'Aa'ishah (ra) who said that the Messenger of Allaah(saw) said, "Whoever introduces into thsi affair of ours that which is not from it will have it rejected".---Reported by Al-Bukharee 167/3 and Muslim 1343/4
