"Actions are (judged) by motives (niyyah), so each man will have what he intended. Thus, he whose migration (hijrah) was to Allah and His Messenger, his migration is to Allah and His Messenger; but he whose migration was for some worldly thing he might gain, or for a wife he might marry, his migration is to that for which he migrated."[Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

How to obtain Ikhlas (sincertity)(color the correct

ones)Everything you think is a good deed is a good deed

Before we do good deeds we should seek knowledge so that we know what is acceptable in Shariah

To wish that others praise us when we do a good deed

Do righteous deeds

Do not show off your good deeds

Do whatever you want

Check that your intention is for Allah swt

Example:

If we go to the masjid for the salah and we are early, arriving before the Imam and finding a place in the first saff, we should not be proud of ourselves and think of ourselves being better than others. We should praise Allah for enabling us to go to the masjid and for being able to perform the salah without any difficulties.

After every salah, we should tell ourselves that we could have performed it better and try to improve in our next salah.

Some actions that are automatically considered good without intention seeking knowledge in

Islam, helping the community, doing da'wah, etc

Conclusion

Our actions are undermined by our intentions - whether they are good intentions or bad intentions. Therefore we should always check our intentions before we do or say anything. We must make sure that the action is for the sake of Allah so that it is accepted by Allah and that we will be rewarded for it, insha Allah.
