A Maqbul (acceptable) practice

However much you speak, it will not be of any worth until you do not put it into practice. However, we must also know that great works do not have any worth in the eyes of Allah Ta’ala if there is no sincerity. A person can even sacrifice his life but this will not prevent him from hell if he did it for show off. That is not all! The work that one does must be according to the Sunnah of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam).

Therefore, for a practice to be accepted, it has to be done with sincerity and in conformity with the principle and the Sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam).
