Al-maharim al-ridai

### The Role of Intention in Actions

As previously alluded, intention plays a pivotal role in the realm of Al-Maharim Al-Ridai. An act that may appear virtuous externally could possess a hidden flaw if it lacks sincerity. This element creates an interesting dynamic: the idea that an individual might engage in actions perceived as good yet remain spiritually bankrupt due to a flawed intention. The challenge, therefore, lies in achieving constant introspection, ensuring that one’s motivations align with authentic spiritual goals rather than superficial societal expectations.
