B. IntentionExplanation
A person is rewarded or punished based on his intention because intentions reflect the underlying motivations and desires behind one's actions. It is believed that the sincerity and purity of intentions play a crucial role in determining the moral value of an action. Good intentions are often considered virtuous and are more likely to lead to positive outcomes, while bad intentions can result in negative consequences. Therefore, one's intention is seen as a key factor in evaluating the moral worth of an individual's behavior.Rate this question:

Actions can be ___________ or outward. Intention is an ______________ action; its place is in the heart. This hadeeth is the way of measuring the ___________ actions so it is half or worship. Which word would fill all three blanks? (Hint: DRAW IN is an anagram of the correct word.)
Correct Answer
inwardExplanation
The correct answer for all three blanks is "inward". The first blank refers to actions that are either inward or outward, implying that "inward" is one of the options. The second blank mentions intention as an example of an inward action, further supporting the use of "inward" in the first blank. The third blank states that the hadith is a way of measuring the blank actions, suggesting that the blank should be filled with a word that can describe both inward and outward actions. Therefore, "inward" is the appropriate word to fill all three blanks.Rate this question:
