 The Commander of the Faithful, Umar ibn al-
Khattab, relates that he heard Allah's Messenger
(saw) say: "Actions are but by intentions and
every man will have only what he intended. So
whoever emigrated for Allah and His Messenger,
then his emigration was for Allah and His
Messenger. And whoever emigrated to attain
something of this world or to marry a woman,
then his emigration was for whatever reason he
emigrated."
[Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim]
Meaning of Niyyah (Intention) in Arabic
1) The wordy meaning of Niyyah (intention) in Arabic
is to have something in mind.
2) According to Islamic terminology, Niyyah (intention)
is the conscious inner motive that distinguishes the
purpose behind the action, whether it is to please
Allah (obeying Him, hoping for His reward, or
fearing His punishment) or for any other sake.
3) Since motives generate the desire to act, it is
common in Arabic to use the desire, hope, or wish
as an alternative for Niyyah.
Niyyah in Quran
Quran refers to Niyyah in some verses as the desire or wish for
something, or the hope to do something; examples are:
• “Some of you desire this world and some of you desire the Hereafter” – ‫ِمن ُكم مَّن ي ُِري ُد‬
3:152 - ۚ ‫ال ُّد ْن َيا َو ِمن ُكم مَّن ي ُِري ُد ْاْل ِخ َر َة‬
• “You desired the benefits of this world but Allah
desired the Hereafter” –
• “Those who spend their money desiring to please
Allah” –
• “He who hopes to meat with his Lord ”
Niyyah in other Traditions
The following are some sayings of Prophet Mohammad that shed some light on the significance of
Niyyah or intentions :
• “People shall be gathered on the Day of Judgment according to their
intentions” – " ‫" يُحْ َش ُر ال َّناسُ َعلَى ِنيَّا ِت ِه ْم‬
• “Verily! People shall be resurrected according to their intentions” –
• “You will never spend any thing desiring the reward of Allah but you will be
reward for it, even of food you put in the mouth of your wife”. –
• “And whose intention is the Hereafter, Allah will place his sufficiency in his
heart, order his affairs, and his share in the life of this world, which Allah
prescribed for him, will come to him submissively. And whose intention is only
the life of this world, Allah will place poverty before his eyes, disorder his
affairs, and he will get nothing in this world more than that which Allah
prescribed for him.”
 Making Our Actions Count

Sincere According to Accepted or

deeds Quran and rejected?
Hadith
 The Du’a of Abu Bakr

• The Prophet (saw) taught Abu Bakr a supplication by which we

can ask Allah forgiveness when insincerity strikes us unawares.
He instructed him to say: "O Allah! I seek refuge with you from
associating partners with you knowingly and I seek your
forgiveness for what I do unknowingly." [al-Bukhari in al-Adab
al-Mufrid]

The Prophet )‫ ) ﷺ‬said, "Allah says: ' When a slave of Mine

draws near to Me a span, I draw near to him a cubit; and if he
draws near to Me a cubit, I draw near to him a fathom. And if he

َ ‫ين آ َت ْي َنا ُه ُم ْال ِك َت‬
َ ‫" الَّ ِذ‬

Those to whom We have given the Book recite it with its true

'Allah has His own people among mankind.' They said: 'O
Messenger of Allah, who are they?' He said: 'The people of the

33. Intending to that Allah (swt) cures the diseases of our

ً ‫ين إِ َّال َخ َس‬
17:82 - ‫ارا‬ َّ ‫ين ۙ َو َال َيزي ُد‬
َ ‫الظالِ ِم‬ َ ‫ن‬

34. Intending to have tranquility because Allah (PBUH)
says,
13:28 - ُ‫َّللا َت ْط َم ِئنُّ ْالقُلُوب‬ ِ َّ ‫ين آ َم ُنوا َو َت ْط َم ِئنُّ قُلُو ُبهُم ِب ِذ ْك ِر‬
ِ َّ ‫َّللا ۗ أَ َال ِب ِذ ْك ِر‬ َ ‫و الَّ ِذ‬

remembrance of Allah . Unquestionably, by the remembrance of
Allah hearts are assured."
35. Intending to have that the Qur’an should become the
life of our hearts, the light of our sights, the cause for the
departure of our sadness and worries, like the Prophet
(pbuh) said in his supplication,

َ ‫صدْ ِري َو َج ََل َء ُح ْزنِي َو َذه‬

‫َاب َه ِّمي َو َغ ِّمي‬ َ ‫أَنْ َت ْج َعل َ ا ْلقُ ْرآنَ َر ِب‬
َ ‫يع َق ْل ِبي َو ُن‬
َ ‫ور‬
“O Allah make the Qur’an the spring of my heart, the light of my
chest and sight, the departure of my sadness and sorrow”
36. Intending that we want to die on the path of the
Qur’an like ‘Uthman (RA) who was granted martyrdom by
Allah )PBUH( while reciting the Qur’an. Ibn Katheer said,
“Whoever lives upon a thing will die upon it, and
whoever dies upon a thing will be resurrected upon
it”. Ibn Katheer based this on Allah’s statement:
ِ ‫ين آ َم ُنوا َو َع ِملُوا الصَّالِ َحا‬
‫ت َس َوا ًء‬ َ ‫ت أَن َّنجْ َع َل ُه ْم َكالَّ ِذ‬ َ ‫أَ ْم َح ِس‬
َ ‫ب الَّ ِذ‬
ِ ‫ين اجْ َت َرحُوا ال َّس ِّي َئا‬
45:21 - ‫ُون‬ َ ‫مَّحْ َيا ُه ْم َو َم َما ُت ُه ْم ۚ َسا َء َما َيحْ ُكم‬
Or do those who commit evils think We will make them
like those who have believed and done righteous deeds -
[make them] equal in their life and their death? Evil is that
which they judge.
37. Intending that our recitation of the Qur’an should be
a great reason for the increase of our Iman because
Allah, the Exalted says,

َ ‫ُورةٌ َف ِم ْنهُم مَّن َيقُو ُل أَ ُّي ُك ْم َزا َد ْت ُه َٰ َه ِذ ِه إِي َما ًنا ۚ َفأَمَّا الَّ ِذ‬
‫ين آ َم ُنوا‬ َ ‫تس‬ْ َ‫نزل‬ُ ‫َوإ َذا َما أ‬
ِ ِ
9:124 - ‫ُون‬ َ ‫َف َزا َد ْت ُه ْم إِي َما ًنا َو ُه ْم َيسْ َتب ِْشر‬
“And whenever a surah is revealed, there are among the hypocrites those who say, “Which
of you has this increased faith?” As for those who believed, it has increased them in faith,
while they are rejoicing.”
For it to increase our Īmān. Allāh says in Sūrah al-Tawbah, “And
when a sūrah is revealed, some of them ask “which of you did
this increase him in Īmān?” As for the ones who believe, it
increased them in Īmān and they rejoice.”
38. Intending of hoping for a closeness to our Lord with
love for His Great Speech.
As is in the Hadeeth:
“‫”إنك مع من أحببت‬
‘Indeed you will be with whom you loved’
[Collected by Muslim]
39. Intending to follow the first command of the Allah:

The first word that was revealed in the Qur’an was a

command which says: “Read!”
In other words, the first verse that was descended upon
our beloved Prophet ṣallā
Allāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam commanded him to “Read!”
Thus, the first encounter of the
Prophet with the Qur’an was reading. Therefore you
should read. Read… read…
and read the Qur’an even if you don’t understand it. It all
starts with reading.
40. Intending to be amongst his chosen servants to
preserve it
. Allah, Most Exalted, said:
ِ ‫ين اصْ َط َف ْي َنا ِمنْ ِع َبا ِد َنا ۖ َف ِم ْن ُه ْم َظالِ ٌم لِّ َن ْف ِس ِه َو ِم ْنهُم ُّم ْق َت‬
‫ص ٌد َو ِم ْن ُه ْم‬ َ ‫ُث َّم أَ ْو َر ْث َنا ْال ِك َت‬
َ ‫اب الَّ ِذ‬
َ ْ َ ْ
35:32 - ‫َّللا ۚ ذلِ َك ه َُو الفضْ ُل الك ِبي ُر‬ َ َٰ ِ َّ ‫ت ِبإِ ْذ ِن‬ ِ ‫َس ِاب ٌق ِب ْال َخي َْرا‬
“Then We caused Our chosen slaves to inherit the Book.
Among them is he who wrongs himself, among them is
he who is moderate, and (yet) among them is he who is
foremost in good deeds, by Allah’s permission. That
)inheritance( is truly a great bounty.” [Surat Faatir 35:32]
Intending to practice everything
with pure intentions, because
pure intention transforms the
habit into an act of worship.
Intentions we should not have
1. Reading for intellectual pleasure
Do not read it merely for intellectual pursuit and
pleasure; even though you must apply your intellect to
the full to the task of understanding the Qur’an.
So many people spend a lifetime in studying the
language, style, history, geography, law and ethics of
the Qur’an, and yet their lives remain untouched by its
message. The Qur’an frequently refers to people who
have knowledge but do not derive benefit from it.
2. Nor should you come to the Qur’an with the fixed
intention of finding support for your own views, notions
and doctrines. For if you do, you may, then, hear an
echo of your own voice in it, and not that of God. It is
this approach to the understanding and interpreting of
the Qur’an that the Prophet )peace and blessings be
upon him) has condemned:
“Whoever interprets the Qur’an by his personal
opinion shall take his place in the Fire” )At-
Tirmidhi).
3. Seeking worldly gains
Nothing could be more unfortunate than to use the
Qur’an to secure, for your own person, worldly things
such as name, esteem, status, fame or money. You
may get them, but you will surely be bartering away a
priceless treasure for nothing, indeed even incurring
eternal loss and ruin.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
that one who learns, recites and teaches the Qur’an
for worldly acclaim will be thrown into the Fire
(Muslim).
