How can daily activities be transformed into acts of worship with the intention of earning reward and recompense, and how can sincerity of intention be achieved for Allah in all these matters? And is one intention sufficient, or must the intention be renewed before each act?

Maintaining a present good intention is difficult for many people, but it becomes easy with practice.
