AI: Summary ©

The importance of intentions in Islam is discussed, including the concept of intentions for actions and the meaning behind them. The speakers explain that intentions are not just for actions but also for actions related to the heart and body. The use of "naught" and "naughty," to describe intentions and actions is emphasized, along with the importance of setting goals and milestones for one's life. The use of "monster" and "untangelfated intentions" is also discussed, along with not letting people know about "monster" during the act.

			Allah,
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			Allah within
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			inshallah we will spend this weekend with the fifth
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			Maxim's who power disappear
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			the subject which we started and we normally
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:50
			present on Mondays and Tuesdays because I traveled last week during the week so inshallah we'll try
to make it up
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			this weekend inshallah.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:01:01
			By the grace of Allah, we completed Jani the first card
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			the first fifth Maxim
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:13
			which was eliakim laryea Zulu bisha
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:19
			certainty is not to be overruled by doubt.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			And we spoke about this rule and the sub rules
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			that branch out from it.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:36
			Today, inshallah will begin the second one, which is an extremely important one.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			La Jolla,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			Lu Bhima. Casa de her
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:50
			actions are judged by the intention behind them.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			That's a legal
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:03
			Maxim in Islam, which derive a lot of rules from it.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			Normally, the first thing that we do
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:41
			is to establish the evidence for that legal Maxim, what is the evidence? The first evidence we have
the verse law you are federal law who beloved Wi Fi manickam Wallach in US Hebrew combi ma cassava
kulu. Allah subhana wa tada will not hold you accountable for the oath which you make without
intention without
		
00:02:42 --> 00:03:07
			lower lower lower without having a thought out. But Allah subhana wa tada will only hold you
accountable for what your hearts count. And of course, the other evidence is the Hadith which we
shared with you a few photos of Juma today, Hades omorovicza, top rhodiola one well, Hadith Raja
holy mammal,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:25
			Matata Sahih and in a Muslim forgettable, Mr. Holden nadie, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam enamel Malou
Binya indeed whatever you do, is in accordance to the intention behind it.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:34
			The subject therefore, is intention is an extremely important subject in Islam.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			What is the significance and the importance of intention?
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:56
			You need to understand something that the scholars have aqidah they look at an at the intention from
one side and the Judas they address it from one side
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			the tourists are the
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			the people whom you ask
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:07
			whether this acts which I just did is valid or not.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:20
			So the intention for them, number one, it distinguishes what you do out of habit from that which you
do for wash.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:30
			Right now, somebody goes into the shower and he takes a bath.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:37
			What is the intention behind it? Is he making wish? Or is he cleaning himself?
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:56
			So the intention will identify that so are you cleaning up? Or are you expecting reward from Allah
subhanho wa Taala you're expecting the world from Allah subhanho wa Taala. Consequently, you need to
initiate an intention that you're making. You're not just cleaning up
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			and that should be the intention.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			Cleaning up we'll come on the site
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:14
			somebody walks to the machines, you know, are you working out? Or are you wanting to get the reward
for going to the machine
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:29
			is the intention right here. So the intention distinguishes what you do out of worship from that
which you do out of habit. The second thing which the intention does is it
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:34
			identifies the nature of the act of performing.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:06:00
			fasting for example, you are fasting what fasting are you doing? Is it mandatory fast? Is it a
makeup fast which is mandatory? Still, it is so Yamanaka far are you fasting because it's a cafaro
expansion, or are you fasting because it's voluntary? Because it's Mondays and Wednesdays?
Thursdays? Because it's the three days out of them? What is the intention behind it?
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:10
			So you bring to rock as in dentistry, what are you playing Sinatra do the hair salon Christopher
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			shouldn't natalija
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:21
			you're making up for God, you didn't pray fudger and you're making it up, what will identify that is
what?
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:28
			So the intent, the intention that you have will identify the act you're doing, you're not just
praying.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:35
			And this is why the intention have to occur before you initiate the Act.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			The other thing that the intention does is
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:53
			fill Mohammed at once it comes to dealings, especially the issues of tala. Imagine you tell your
wife, go to your father's house, go to your parents house.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			What that means,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			when you tell her that what that means.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:15
			You could have the intention of what divorcing her that means I'm divorcing, you will walk or go
visit your father. So what we'll add, because there are some metaphorical kind of terms,
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:23
			or language. Now the intention, you can tell your wife I divorce you
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			that that's clear. You don't need an intention behind that, by the way.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:35
			So when you tell a divorce you, you do not need an intention, they're not gonna come to that there
is a whole section on this that
		
00:07:36 --> 00:08:12
			certain things that intention is not a condition for the validity of the Act, one of them is debt.
But when you tell your wife, you know, get out of here, all right, that means get out of the house,
or what or are you divorcing her? So the intention identifies that the last thing was the intention
does Yes, who is the Who are you doing this act for? And this is what the scholars call sincerity,
to whom you're performing this act. is being sincere in your intention in performing
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:56
			the act. Now Subhan Allah something about the intention which we mentioned today? Oh, Heather, this
is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned because the intention is in the heart like
we mentioned today, but this is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned that indeed in
your body, there is a limb Addison nominee, membership of the Ummah one fee, Buhari indeed in your
body, there is a limb if it is sound, the rest of the body will be sound. Why? Because if you do an
act with the physical limbs, lack in the heart, lack in the intention, lack and sincerity, will it
be accepted?
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			I'm asking you will it be accepted?
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:01
			No.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:16
			So the heart and the intention and sincerity must be a component of the outward act. Meanwhile, he
can do acts with your hearts and get rewards without
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:35
			confirming this with the physical. As long as you had a reason not to do it what I'm referring to.
I'm referring to Hadith Abdullah Hernandez Ravi Allahu anhu. Manuel Hadith will go to Muslim coluna
v sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the statement of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Menachem
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			Mehdi Hassan
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			al hamdu lillahi wa salam ala
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:50
			amiracle whoever intends to do a good deed.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:55
			Guess what? It's written. One good deed.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			So just the heart without what
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:06
			Without the limbs involved engaged in this. Now, what if you do
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:14
			multiply 10 and move based on your sincerity, but the least we know is 10 is
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:35
			10 times imagine this. So here you are, with the heart, you're able to work to get a hustler without
the engagement of the limbs without calling upon the limbs. But of course, I can be intending to do
things and not to do them.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:43
			Like you can be sitting in the machine and say, Okay, you know what, I'm not gonna go play tonight
but let me intend to go and you have a plan
		
00:10:45 --> 00:11:16
			that doesn't go this way. You know, you're getting the point like, Well, you know, if I'm not gonna
go and get the full reward of wearing a shirt in JAMA and let me just make an intention and
meanwhile, you're planning already in your heart that you're going to watch what whatever you're
watching or you're gonna continue spending good time with your family. Likewise, we'll we will do we
take this and whoever intends to do something bad and Heather Bellamy woman hammer bisaya
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			bad deed is it written?
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			No, it is not
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25
			the angel will not ride unless what
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:31
			unless you do the what if you do not do
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:38
			a good deed is written but again look at the restriction here. Why didn't you do it?
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			Fie Sevilla fearing Allah
		
00:11:43 --> 00:12:16
			not because you're afraid that people are gonna see you doing it. Not because you're afraid that
you're going to be disgraced you know being spotted doing it or you're afraid of the capsule, the
police know you fair enough who look at the Hadith, the whirling fabinho the inner who taraka how
fermina law he left it because of the fear of Allah subhanaw taala also the second thing which is
the intention doesn't we'll stop here today insha Allah and will continue after he beat me later
Allah is the intention can turn
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:21
			the things that you do out of habit, the permissible things into her Senate
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:23
			in bed
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			sleeping
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			having a relationship with your spouse
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:36
			providing for your family. So Pamela just
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:51
			you provide the intention. You're doing it for the sake of Allah. These things which are really
duties are things that you have to do you have to sleep You have to eat, you have to drink, you make
a salad outfit.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:13:01
			Well, what is the evidence couple of them? That the famous one feasts on the conversation between
Abu Salah sorry about your loved one, and
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:06
			they were discussing how do you pray to hydrate at night.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:12
			So as I said, after I try to fulfill that task,
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:43
			more I didn't have a lot of the alarm on and said what I do differently. After a shower, I sleep and
then I wake up the last third of the night. But here is what he said, What are testable nomatic
tassimo komati. And when I go to sleep, I have an intention or a law, I'm going to sleep so I
strengthen my body so that I can be fresh when I wake up for the hundreds. Imagine you're gonna be
asleep and getting
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:49
			imagine this. Add to this. What if you don't wake up?
		
00:13:52 --> 00:14:02
			You'll be rewarded for what you intended. But again, provided that you have no work. No side plans
here that you really intended to play the head
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			shifted that was
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:14
			the power of intention. The power of this heart intention in Islam.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:16
			Well Howdy.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			Howdy Sadiq. Naboo ACOs are the
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:30
			elementary Buhari, female of South Saudi at one stage he got very sick to the extent that he thought
that he's about to die.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:44
			And this is the time when he asked the Prophet I only have one girl. You know one daughter sat by
the way later on had a big family he actually lived survived that and he said What should I do Rasul
Allah for her.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:15:00
			Should I I take Jani third out to give for the sake of theory Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
advised him and he said in mechelen tuneful nessa cotton feast. Tabitha de hawala, whatever
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:07
			Use been shaken the pleasure of Allah had Tada, OCC marotti
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:53
			even what you place in the mouth of your wife, feeding your family providing for your family and
kids, imagine this you get rewarded for that. But this must come with what with an intention
inshallah so be delayed Allah will we'll discuss this more. And we're going to go over after fetcher
tomorrow the controversial subject, which a lot of people unfortunately because it's really these
lists that people who pronouns the intention, and we're gonna discuss the evidence, because they use
the statements of Imam Shafi and others, but they misunderstood them totally inshallah, but we will
carry on with this fifth Maxim, this weekend in sha Allah,
		
00:15:54 --> 00:16:30
			Allah moviemax Mufasa even though a lot of the scholars briefing, the teller minobu the words of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and they Bri field another way to express that Maxim they said,
Allah mailloux miniata Manhattan TV, but the famous one and who is Omu Bhima Casa de but Jani
schooler said, why not use alamelu binita why, because the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said what
enamel?
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:41
			Binya, this is much better because of the color manabu Jaramillo Pharaoh subhanak Aloma the
harmonica Chateau La ilaha illa Anta estafa? Luca tulika?
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:45
			Yes.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:17:09
			Yeah, that's a very good question. And we're gonna come to this the time of the intention, the
condition for the intention, all of this is coming up. If you keep up with us, inshallah, we're
going to talk about the conditions for a valid intention, the timing for an intention.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:25
			He's asking, Can you initiate an intention in the middle of the Act? The answer is no. Because the
intention is a condition was shown to yet the problem.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:18:18
			And the condition comes before the act. You see in any acts of Islam, in the acts that we do, it has
conditions has pillars, duties, recommended, disliked, and nullifiers. Look at these six, any act
that you do in Islam, there are conditions this is number one, conditions, pillars, pillars is FEMA,
he Attila Ahmed is part of the act like Al Fatiha in fact it is a condition or a pillar is what a
pillar white settler because it is within what the act What about the Qibla? It is a conditional
repeller Why? Because you're supposed to look for the triple A before what about about covering your
hour? Is it a condition or a pillar? Is it what a condition why because you should cover your hour
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:30
			before you enter into the Salah show a shot comes before the Salah comes before the act. Here is the
only time we had a min
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:35
			Yani I'm bringing this min, the famous book for kosuna
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:49
			sets. Look, the only time that you can initiate an intention is if you if you bring unrestricted
nephila
		
00:18:51 --> 00:19:01
			and you want to turn it into restricted Navid nephila, do you know what that means? You come into
the masjid Alhamdulillah you braid your fork you're now if you're
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			with me, ready to rock us?
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:27
			A lot of work to rock as unrestrictedly schoolwork you're praying it without what you're just
playing with. What is the intention here you want to be closer to Allah Salah. But there is no
intention for this is called unrestricted nephila. And this is by the way what were banned from
breathing during the forbidden times what are the two forbidden times
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			the forbidden times
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:40
			after acid until what sunset and what is the other time after Fagor until and the third time
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:48
			yeah zone yes is that well, when the sun that there are three forbidden times you're right there are
three so when the sun is what
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:59
			in the senate there. So this is actually what we're we cannot pray. Lower the tenor full Muslim. But
let's say that you didn't pray
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:06
			It is though, and the sun is the zenith right there. Should you pray or should you wait?
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:36
			right away because you have a reason you came to the machine and you went to the hair to the
machine. You can do it as long as you have a reason for the Salah. We go back to the question that
brother was here to ask. Now, during the Salah, with the intention of unrestricted nephila, you can
switch that nephila to a restricted one. nephila let's say that our man an embrace this morning,
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:43
			you can turn it into something that refreshes during the act, you can do that.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			No.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			Law, it has to be identical.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:21:04
			It has to be from an identical type of Salah. Oh, this is the view of Christianity. If you get
Africa soon. That's the only time other than this No, the intention have to come before the act.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			That's another one. Yes. But
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			you haven't really initiated the fast Did you?
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			intentionally
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:35
			that that's that's another scenario, which is very interesting that let's say that during the day,
we're not talking about mandatory fats, we're talking about what voluntary fats you have not eating,
you have not drink anything, you have not drunk anything. And you have not basically
		
00:21:36 --> 00:22:21
			done any newly fire fasting, any element which will nullify your fasting basically, as if you were
fasting but you did not fast. Let's say that 10 o'clock in the morning, man, it's in the winter and
Maverick comes around for you know, why not carry on with that and fast and you initiate an
intention there. But still, the scholars brother the wood, they said that they reward you get is for
the amount you initiated the intention, even though you're fasting is valid, but from the time you
initiated the intention, that's where you get the reward for that, but that's another scenario is
very interesting. I'm glad you you hinted to it. That's another scenario but you see, we're talking
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:25
			about starting an act. And then
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:37
			you know, in the middle, you changing it or you initiating an intention for it. What is the evidence
here? if What if he Allah Hi, Danny, just for you to know how do you do Lavanya?
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:46
			Harris Huff's I believe not Arusha hafsa Huff's alright so one of the to the prophets, I shall write
		
00:22:47 --> 00:23:00
			that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam came one day and he asked they have something to eat. She said
no, he said in need and then I will fast today that's during the day but we're talking about what
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:34
			voluntary fast because we have the other Hadith which is Hadith hafsa if it is one of the two
narrated this Hadith, the Hadith mela movie The Sierra Madre, whoever does not intend before his
fasting is invalid. This applies to the mandatory fast Ramadan, making up days. So yarmulke fara.
suyama net all of this is mandatory fast. You must have the intention before for this to be valid,
but we're talking about suyama naskila
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			Yes, that's another
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:47
			Hadith that's another issue.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:52
			I hope
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			MANOVA kalamunda is
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:34
			no No, I'm good. I'm good. So brother, the wood is referring to the same howdy that actually another
day in the same Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam actually asked, Do you have something
to eat? She said yes. He said, I was planning to fast today but you know, I will break my fast. So
and and this is the evidence for the permissibility of this is proper English to break a voluntary
fast during the day, even though the jurist they said what this person should do, quite frankly,
according to the Saudis, nothing.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			Nothing but enough for you to know.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:53
			If your honor, they say that this person has to make up that day. And yes, he can break the fast
he's free. But he has to make up this day. Jani. That's the opinion of him. No evidence.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			Well, it's the intention is
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			To fast one day
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:22
			when you intend when you initiated the intention and that's their opinion, when you initiate an
intention, what was the intention to you see, there are all sorts of conditions for the intention if
what is Yeah, it has to be a determined intention. It can be
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:36
			wishy washy intention he can say inshallah I'm gonna fast today but if my wife has food it can be
you know the intention has to be what lol just miniature Sardinia just that it cannot be hesitant
intention
		
00:25:38 --> 00:26:04
			that's another issue they have doubt is another issue. Yeah you could say if tomorrow is the Ramadan
I'm fasting if it is not am breaking my fast like the moon has not been cited and you want to go to
sleep and you want to have an intention for fasting tomorrow. You can actually tatara that we have
Yes. Jackman O'Hara that that subject of intention fo is very interesting inshallah we'll we'll
address it under this
