How to Achieve Sincerity in Your Deeds in Islam
How to achieve sincerity in your deeds 1. Don’t do a deed so that other people can see you or hear about you. 2. Don’t focus too much on people’s praise or criticism. 3. Conceal your good deeds. 4. Be keen to avoid situations where you could become prominent and famous. 5. Don’t increase your good deeds and make them look good when people are around you. 6. Always think of yourself as falling short. 7. You should supplicate a great deal for forgiveness after doing the deed. 8. Rejoice when Allah enables you to do righteous deeds.27,688Not keeping in mind the intention of drawing closer to Allah

37,300Ruling on doing righteous deeds with the aim of worldly gain
Conclusion: Whoever does acts of worship and righteous deeds with the sole aim of worldly gain will have no share of reward with Allah (such as one who gives charity only so that he might be healed, or who recites Soorat al-Baqarah only so that she might get married, or who fasts only for the purpose of dieting, or who joins the Muslim army only for the sake of booty, or who goes for Hajj only for the purpose of trade. But if someone intends to seek the pleasure of Allah and the hereafter, and makes worldly gain a secondary factor, not the main focus, there is no blame on him. And Allah knows best.40,495Is it permissible to seek fame and love to be prominent in worldly matters?
