It is imperative for every Muslim who is eager to worship Allah and do good deeds, to know what are the conditions that are required to be met so that Allah would accept those good deeds and reward us for them in order for us to be successful and enter Jannah on the Day of Judgement.  In this class, we cover the two conditions that every good deed or act of worship that a Muslim does must meet in order to be accepted by Allah.  This class includes verses from the Quran, ahadith from the authentic Sunnah, and stories and statements from the companions (radiyallahu anhum) as well as some of the Salaf that are relevant to this topic, and are used as a basis for understanding the teachings of our deen properly.
