The Ruling on Intending This World and the Hereafter in Good Deeds

Question:
What is the ruling on a good deed if the servant intends that Allah reward him by preserving his health, wealth, and family, and by removing hardship and bestowing blessings upon him in this world, while he also intends Paradise and the pleasure of Allah in the hereafter?

Answer:
This is a valid deed, as long as he intends Paradise and the pleasure of Allah in the hereafter, and along with that, he intends that Allah protect him from the calamities of this world through this deed. There is nothing wrong with that. However, sincerity for the reward of the hereafter is better. But as long as he intends the hereafter and the reward of the hereafter, and along with this, he intends that Allah benefit him in this world by preserving him, his wealth, and his children, there is nothing wrong with that. It has come in the hadith: So if he intends both this world and the hereafter, there is nothing wrong with it. The issue is with the one who does not intend anything but this world; he does not intend the hereafter; he does not intend anything but the reward in this world. That is the one who is blamed. Yes.
