Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him), reported:
Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "The deeds are considered by the intentions, and a person will get the reward according to his intention. So whoever emigrated for Allah and His Messenger, his emigration will be for Allah and His Messenger; and whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration would be for what he emigrated for".
(Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
The point which becomes evident from this Hadith is that Ikhlas (sincerity) is a must for every action. So we should seek only the Pleasure of Allah in every righteous deed; otherwise our deeds may be pointless.
