[Pak Youth] Aisha (radi Allahu anha) asked:

"O Messenger of Allah! During the Jaahiliya, Ibn Jad'aan used to uphold the ties of kinship and feed the poor; will that benefit him at all?"

The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) replied: 

"It will not be of any benefit to him, because he never said a single day, 'O Lord, forgive me my sins on the Day of Judgement.'" 

[Muslim]

For deeds to be considered "good" by Allah, they must have been done not only as per His instructions, but also only for Him, seeking His pleasure and fearing His punishment. Otherwise, the world may consider those deeds "good" but they will carry no weight with Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala).
