Intention

The Prophet peace be upon him said,

"The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intented."
[Bukhari, pg. 49, no. 1]

--> The point which becomes evident from this Hadith is that Iklas (sincerity) is a must for every action. In other words, in every righteous deeds, one should seek only the Pleasure of Allah; otherwise, it will not be accepted by Allah.
