Amal means any action or deed. It can be good or bad. As per Islam the reward or punishment of amal is based on neeyah (intention). Islam, sharia and akhlaq are very fundamental in its teaching and so is aqeedah. It is another significant foundation and the three are inter-linked to each other. Aqeedah forms the basis of iman (firm belief), hence if one of the components is missing, one's iman is lost or later becomes unbalanced.
