Try removing some spaces like the code below. 

.main-heading {
text-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #be7b31;
}

Hi, you got it correct, but this challenge check is a bit extreme. It appears the colon can't have a space in front of it!!!

This will pass the challenge:

.main-heading {
  text-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #be7b31;
}

Thanks for your answer ! But though i used space after the text-shadow property it is not working. But giving correct spaces between the value works in the combination.

Hi, maybe my answer was a bit unclear. The code that you originally used will work in a real environment, but the code challenge doesn't accept a space after the 'text-shadow'. Both are valid CSS. My example above was checked and passed in the code challenge. Just interested, you didn't think it was correct?
