There are two conditions for deeds to be accepted. the deed must be performed for Allah’s sake alone and conforms to the Shariah. When the deed is sincere, but does not conform to the Shariah, then it will not be accepted. The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, "Whoever performs a deed that does not conform with our matter (religion), then it will be rejected.” This Hadith was recorded by Muslim. When the deed conforms to the Shariah outwardly, but the person did not perform it sincerely for Allah alone, the deed will also be rejected, as in the case of the hypocrites and those who do their deeds to show off. Similarly, Allah said, Verily, the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but it is He Who deceives them. And when they stand up for As-Salah (the prayer), they stand with laziness to be seen by people, and they do not remember Allah but little. (4:142)
