    Our intention is one of the two most important
    things. Muhammed (SAW) said that all actions
    are judged on its intention. Allah (SWT) warns
    us against worshipping Him with ulterior motives:

    "Those who do good deeds only to be seen (of men)."
    (Al-Ma'un, Q107:6)


    One needs to be cautious and keep a constant look
    over the ego. It is good to be ambitious but be
    mindful because it can lead us down the wrong path
    as Allah (SWT) says in Surah Al-Zukhruf:

    "If anyone withdraws himself from remembrance
    of (Allah) Most Gracious, We appoint for him an
    evil one, to be an intimate companion to him. Such
    (evil ones) really hinder them from the Path, but
    they think that they are being guided aright!"
    (Q43:36-37)


    Always try to adopt two things throughout your life:
    increase the amount of good that you are sending
    before you and try to wipe out the blemishes from
    your Book. It is a simple recipe but it has an
    everlasting effect.
