Another verse which proves the two conditions of acceptance of worship 1) Sincerity/Tawhid 2) Following the Messenger



بَلَىٰ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ (112)

Yes, but whoever submits his face (himself) to Allah and he is a Muhsin then his reward is with his Lord (Allah), on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (Al-Baqarah: 112)

Shaikh Salih bin Fawzan al-Fawzan commented on this verse saying;

The statement whoever submits his face (himself) to Allah means whoever is sincere to Allah in outwards and inwards. And the statement and he is a Muhsin means that he follows the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and no one other than the Messenger. He does not blind follow any other than the Messenger. Rather, his role model, his example is the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) in his worship. So he does not worship Allah with that which was brought by so and so. Or by that which a so and so Shaikh has brought or by the way of the so and so Soofee methodology or by ways similar to that.
