جمع النبي ﷺ بين تقوى الله وحُسن الخلق، لأن تقوى الله تُصْلح ما بين العبد وبين ربه، و حسن الخلق يصلح ما بينه وبين خلقه، فتقوى الله توجب له محبه الله، وحسن الخلق يدعو الناس إلى محبه
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه - أن النبي ﷺ ما أكثر ما يدخل الناس الجنة؟ فقال: تقوى الله و حسن الخلق.
The Prophet ﷺ combined between fear of Allāh (Taqwā) and good manners for Taqwā rectifies what is between a slave and his Lord and good manners rectify what is between and the creation, so Taqwā makes it imperative that he earns the love of Allāh and and good manners invoke people to love him,

From Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه who said that the Prophet ﷺ was asked what will make most people go paradise? So he said: "Fear of Allāh and good manners."

Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said,
“The patience of Yusuf against compliance to the wife of Al Azeez in her matter was more complete than his patience over his being thrown into the well by his brothers and his being sold off as well as their separating him from his father.
For these affairs passed him whilst he had no choice in them, he was not secure from them; the servant is in no position in them except to have patience.
As for his patience from committing sin; then that was practicing a patience of choice and waging a war upon the soul.”
[Jamī’ al Adab v. 1, p. 368]

Rectify your intentions oh Muslim!
Shaykh Sālih al-Fawzān (حفظه الله) said :
The prophet’s saying (ﷺ) : “Certainly, actions are considered based on the intentions…” means, based on the intents of the doers and their leanings. Thus, it is important that the Muslim makes his intention sincere for Allāh in every deed he performs among the good deeds.
The meaning of Al-A’māl (actions) in this connection, are the ‘Ibādāt (acts of worship). As for the worldly actions, they do not (basically) require intention. For example, that one eats or drinks or wears his clothes or drives his care ; they do not (basically) require intention. So, what is intended here by “actions” are the acts of obedience; they are those that must be based on (sound) intention.
Then, he (ﷺ) said: “…and everyone gets the recompense according to what he intended”: is this sentence an emphasis for the sentence before it or is it independent? There are two views regarding this (See Fath al-Bāri (1/14,15) :
The First View : Some of the scholars view that : it is an emphasis for the sentence before it and an extra stress to what it points to.
The Second View : It is independent and not an emphasis ; and this is the most preponderant position. This is because to consider a statement independent is more preferable than to consider the same statement an emphasis.
Hence, his saying (ﷺ) : “Certainly, actions are considered based on the intentions… “, implies that the consideration of an action is based on the intentions of the doer in terms of correctness or voidness. If his intent is for Allāh - the Mighty and Sublime - Alone, then his action is correct, but if his intent is for other than Allāh, then his action is vain. This is in terms of correctness or voideness.

Types of Tawheed are three:
Tawheed ar-Ruboobiyyah,
Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah &
Tawheed al-Asmaa was-Sifaat.
1)Tawheed ar-Ruboobiyyah is singling out Allaah the Exalted with (the actions of) creation, providing sustenance, giving life, causing death, and all of the types of regulation and administration of the dominion of the heavens and earth, and (also) singling Him out, the Exalted, with (the right to) judgement and legislation and sending of the Messengers and revealing of Books. Allaah the Exalted said, “Surely, His is the Creation and Commandment. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!” (Surah Al-A'raaf, 7:54).
"Is there any creator other than Allah who provides for you from the sky (rain) and the earth? La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He)."
[Surah Faatir, 35:3]
2)Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah is singling out Allaah with worship so that none besides Him is worshipped, so that none besides Him is called upon, so that no one is sought for rescue, or aid except Him. So that no one is sacrificed to or slaughtered for, or made an oath for, except Him. Allaah the Exalted said, “Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Verily, my Salat (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims."(Surah al-An’aam, 6:162-163), and He said, “Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only).” (Surah Al-Kawthar, 108:2).
3)And Tawheed al-Asmaa was-Sifaat is describing Allaah the Most High and naming Him with whatever He described and named Himself with, and with whatever His Messenger (sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam) described and named Him with in the authentic narrations – and to affirm that for Allaah without resemblance (to the creation) or likening (to the creation), and without (false) interpretation (of any of that) or negation (of any of that). "There is nothing like Him; and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer."(Surah Ash-Shu'araa, 42:11)
