NIAT - INTENTION
Umar bin Khattab (RA) relates that Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said:
“All deeds depend on intention
(i.e. the reward of performance of an act depends on the intention).
Therefore a person, who migrated
(with a pure intention) for the sake of Allah and His Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam),
his migration will then be for Allah and His Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).
And if someone migrated for the sake of the world, or to marry a woman,
then his migration will be for whatever he had intended.”
[Bukhari and Muslim]
Focus on intention increases the sincerity in worship and acts of virtues
Intention is such an easy thing which can yield rewards without spending and making a hard struggle
Moments with full attention to a given intention can turn a whole day in a day of worship
“Yaa Allah,
enable us to do things
which are good
in Your Sight,
whether it is
by tongue, deed, intention, or method.
Verily,
You have power over all things"
Allahumma Ameen
(Ya Allah, hear my prayer)
Our intention : To live and die for Allah
Every single act and deed related to human life should be for Allah, the Lord of the Universe
Hence, eating, drinking, sleeping, waking up, earning, laughing and speaking, should all be for Allah.
Although these deeds apparently seem to be for the self,
but a right intention can turn their performance for the sake of Allah.
And when a deed is performed for the sake of Allah,
it then becomes an act of worship and earns rewards and blessings.
