Shaykh
Abdullah Al-Bukhari حفظه الله :
The
questioner is asking what are the signs by which a person can know if his
action is accepted or rejected?
We
ask Allah His pardon!
The answer to this (question) has already been mentioned during
the lecture, and I said that the signs and the indications to that are that the
person follows up the righteous action with more righteous actions, and him
falling short does not mean that the actions are rejected. Therefore acceptance
and rejection is with Allah جل وعلا and the
person does not know if (his deeds) are
accepted or not, but he hopes from Allah
جل
وعلا acceptance and he seeks from Him جل وعلا guidance to righteous actions.
Imaam Ibn Rajab, may Allah have mercy upon him, as it mentioned in (his book) Jaami’
Al-‘Uloom Al-Hikam said:
Whosoever conducts himself with Allah with Taqwa (piety) in his
time of ease, Allah will deal him with gentleness in his time of hardship.
The slave should always ask Allah that He aids, directs and guides
him (to righteous actions).
