Sin is never justifiable with a good intention, and good intentions should serve virtuous actions.
In the Holy Quran, intention holds significant meaning in actions. Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 225, indicates that Allah considers both good and bad intentions, and no sin of His servants will pass without His knowledge. Each individual is obliged to maintain a pure intention in their deeds. A good intention can serve as a motivation for performing virtuous acts; however, this does not justify sin. If there is no noble intent in performing actions, sin will never be acceptable. In this context, Surah Al-Taghabun, verse 4 states, 'Allah knows what is in the hearts,' which indicates Allah’s awareness of thoughts and intentions. Therefore, sin cannot be accepted with a good intention, as good intentions should be in service of virtuous acts. Hence, there are numerous examples in the Quran illustrating that good deeds and intentions should be intertwined, leading to correct moral conclusions.
Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear; it has what it has gained, and it will bear what it has earned.
Allah knows what is in their hearts.
One day in a small village, a man named Hosam promised his friends to set up a shop in the village with good intentions. He thought correctly that this could serve the people. However, he also had another intention for overpriced products in his shop. Consequently, his joy and happiness from this endeavor slowly turned into sadness, as his good intention did not originate from the heart, and he could not see its virtuous outcomes. Eventually, he decided to purify his intention and truly help the villagers.
