These are some reasons that caused our good deeds rejected in Islam, such as :
Eating haram foods is as same as growing haram meat in our body. That haram meat will be burnt with hell fire in the afterlife. If we prayed, but we ate haram assets, so our good deeds and perpetual charity will be rejected by Allah. Because every foods that we ate, will be meats and bloods that streamed in our body. So, we have to be careful when chose our foods. We have to know first how the food was got, halal or haram and it is kind of halal foods or not. Rasulullah said,

We often delay to do prayer, such as Fard prayer, benefits of Tahajjud prayer and law of Friday prayer for women. We often take lightly prayer. We have not to do that again because it can cause our worship rejected by Allah S.W.T. Prayer or another worship are things that we did to Allah, So, don’t take them lightly. Lighten worship is as same as minimizing worship. Imam al-Sahdiq as said,
”By Allah, that there was a man who prayed for fifty years, but none of his prayers were received. Where there is more terrible than this, by Allah, actually you know, either from your neighbors or your friends that the person is not receiving his prayer because he lighten it.”
How dangerous if we lighten prayer, so we have to be careful.
