actions must be filled with sincere love to gain allah’s raza/pleasure, qurb (nearness) and his forgiveness. dont do it for show off(riya)to mankind.do it in accordance with sunnah .
ibadat must be spiritual, physical and financial. Keep (sohbate)company of auliya/pious.stay away from worldly people.
