Allah says in Holy Quran about righteous deeds:  “Whoever works righteousness whether male or female while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment, and lawful provision), and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do (i.e. Paradise in the Hereafter)”  (Quran, 16:97) From above verse, we can say that when we perform good deeds for the sake of Almighty Allah then we will get Paradise as a reward.
