“So whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of His Lord”(Sura Kahf: 110)
Commenting on this ayat, Ibn al-Qayyim wrote:
This is in reference to the only type of deed that Allah will accept. The deed must be in accordance with the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah(pbuh) and done solely for the Countenance of Allah. A doer cannot possibly fulfill both of these conditions unless he has knowledge. If he does not know what has been narrated from the Messenger of Allah(pbuh), then he cannot intend that. If he is not knowledgeable of whom he worships, he cannot intend Him alone in his deeds. IF it were not for knowledge, his deed could not be acceptable. IT is knowledge that guides to sincerity and purity and it is knowledge that indicates what is the actual following of the way of the Prophet(pbuh).
