One of the signs that indicate the acceptance of a good deed is being blessed with performing another good deed afterwards, rectifying one’s bad conduct, repenting to Allaah The Exalted, and turning to the rulings of the Quran and the Sunnah for judgment. These are the signs of success and acceptance. One should spend this blessed spiritual season, whether he/she was a pilgrim or non-pilgrim, with a submissive heart full of faith. One should show remorse for his sins, indulgence in wrongdoing and satisfying ill desires. One should also have resolution to turn back to his Lord. When such a believer observes the five daily prayers in congregation at mosque, adheres to the teachings of the Quran and the Sunnah; reading, pondering over, and acting upon them, he is preparing himself to meet his Lord with a sound heart. Allaah The Exalted Says (what means): {The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children* But only one who comes to Allaah with a sound heart.} [Quran 26:88-89]

Whoever spent this spiritual season with such a commendable feeling and trod this path, should rejoice at the acceptance of his good deeds as he would be granted success and would be blessed with savoring happiness. Allaah The Exalted Says (what means): {That is the Bounty of Allaah, which He Gives to whom He wills, and Allaah Is the Possessor of great bounty.} [Quran 62:4]

As for the one who has failed to attain such spiritual rejuvenation on these blessed days and maintained the harshness of his heart, his indulgence in pursuing ill desires and whims, stumbling blindly in the darkness of spiritual inattentiveness away from the mosques and the Quran, devoting himself to watching obscene immoral media materials: songs, movies and magazines, indeed, this is the plain sign of loss and spiritual bankruptcy; May Allaah Safeguard us.

Dear readers, be keen and determined to conclude these blessed days of spiritual rejuvenation with sincere repentance and genuine submission to Allaah. When you die and leave this world and dust is thrown over you in a dark gloomy grave, your family, friends, and wealth become of no avail. Only your deeds count at that time. When you stand before your Lord on the Day of Judgment with an anxious heart, restless spirit, and wandering eyes, what are you going to say about your deeds and actions?

Dear readers, answer the call of your Lord and Creator.

Allaah The Exalted Says (what means): {O you who have believed, repent to Allaah with sincere repentance. Perhaps your Lord Will Remove from you your misdeeds and Admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow [on] the Day when Allaah Will not Disgrace the Prophet and those who believed with him. Their light will proceed before them and on their right; they will say, "Our Lord, perfect for us our light and forgive us.  Indeed, You are over all things competent."} [Quran 66:8]
