The Prophet ﷺ once said:

"Actions are judged by intentions, and each person will be rewarded according to their intention."

You can do the right thing for the wrong reason - give charity to be seen, pray to impress others, help someone to gain favor. The action looks the same on the outside, but Allah sees what is in your heart.

A deed done sincerely for Allah's sake, even if small, is worth more than a grand gesture done for show.
