The fourth action is a rob of a bank, which is a good action, but not a bad action, and the fifth action is to do a good action, but it is not a good action, and the sixth action is to do a bad action, but it is not a good action.

Quran Al Karim nights of empowerment, parables and wisdom

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

from the Glorious Quran.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:40

Everything that comes into existence in the universe begins

00:00:40 --> 00:00:44

with Iran and intended desire.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:50

In fact, Allah subhanho wa Taala says in Surah Yaseen in nama Umrah

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

who either are or the Cheyenne, a year old Allah who can pay

00:00:54 --> 00:00:59

for he says Be and it is, there is a wool for that thing to happen.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02

And therefore, we say erotica,

00:01:03 --> 00:01:08

or the desire is activated by a creative power, the creative power

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

of Nia or the power of intention.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:15

And Nia is a directed impulse,

00:01:16 --> 00:01:20

a directed impulse of consciousness or a desire of the

00:01:20 --> 00:01:26

heart, or an aspiration of the soul that motivates us to do

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

whatever we do.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:36

Nia is a significant means whereby worthiness of inaction is valued

00:01:36 --> 00:01:41

and judged. And of course, Allah is the ultimate judge. But the

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45

notion of Nia and the motivation and the desire why we do what we

00:01:45 --> 00:01:49

do, for example, Allah subhanho wa Taala says, you are keen to come

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

be Marchesa.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:56

Allah takes you to task for what your hearts have conceived in

00:01:56 --> 00:02:00

earnestness, what you really want in your heart, Allah looks at

00:02:00 --> 00:02:04

that. And therefore it also said, Allahu alayhi wa sallam, in the

00:02:04 --> 00:02:08

most famous saying, documented in the Sahih Muslim. In the Malama

00:02:08 --> 00:02:13

lupini yard. We're in nama. Luckily, man, our actions are by

00:02:13 --> 00:02:17

intentions, and for each one, according to what he or she

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

intended.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:24

So we say, as your intention is, so is your action.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:30

As your intention is, so is your action. So let's evaluate that.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36

One is you can have a bad intention for a bad action. You

00:02:36 --> 00:02:41

can have bad intention for a bad direction. And this is never

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

acceptable in Islam. It's abhorrent, and in fact punishable.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

Example of that.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:52

Hadith in Sahih al Bukhari sahih al Bukhari and by Imam Muslim

00:02:53 --> 00:02:57

Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said either the word Muslim

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01

man is a femur for kala who Muhammad ali na, for cotton

00:03:01 --> 00:03:07

Walmart to deliver high cotton Yaga Sula, for marble Mattoon for

00:03:07 --> 00:03:11

Collison, Allahu alayhi wa early was called in the order

00:03:12 --> 00:03:17

in the who are either Cutler Sahibi the soul was said to some

00:03:17 --> 00:03:21

people, when two Muslims fight, intending to kill one another,

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

both of them are in the fire.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:28

So the question as Yara should Allah we understand the one who

00:03:28 --> 00:03:32

wants to kill is in the fire. But why the Muslim who got killed, he

00:03:32 --> 00:03:36

said because he was desirous, intending to kill the other.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38

This makes us realize

00:03:39 --> 00:03:44

how important it is that you cannot have a bad intention and a

00:03:44 --> 00:03:48

bad action and accept it to be acceptable to Allah. bad

00:03:48 --> 00:03:53

intention. Bad action is never acceptable, then you have bad

00:03:53 --> 00:03:58

intention. For a good action. This can be very deceptive. For

00:03:58 --> 00:03:58

example,

00:03:59 --> 00:04:03

we know that true belief and true or Ibadah is done with sincerity.

00:04:03 --> 00:04:07

For example, if you take prayer, we need to know whatever we do,

00:04:07 --> 00:04:11

but the utterance of the mouth we can say lie in Allah, but it needs

00:04:11 --> 00:04:15

to come from the heart. Whether we pray ritually up in downs one

00:04:15 --> 00:04:18

thing may Allah accept from us, but coming from the heart is

00:04:18 --> 00:04:22

something else. Last Allah in Labradoodle club, there's no Salah

00:04:22 --> 00:04:27

without the presence of the heart. It's very important. Since you

00:04:27 --> 00:04:32

carnation Namazi Adana Yachty deal dukkha and apartheid a bar that

00:04:32 --> 00:04:37

killed a rollup said, just bowing your head doesn't make it sujood

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40

doesn't make it a bother your heart is to be pleasant for it to

00:04:40 --> 00:04:45

be in a bother. So it needs to be something that manifests or

00:04:45 --> 00:04:49

emanates from our Wirkkala Phil was at the coal as from hospital

00:04:49 --> 00:04:53

bossley said emanating from the heart. In other words, the

00:04:53 --> 00:04:57

individual's heart and attitude. There's goodness emanating from

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

it, motivating the person to believe

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

Lin's are to goodness, and therefore in the Quran, the notion

00:05:04 --> 00:05:09

of unconscious worshipping or worshiping with the aim of

00:05:09 --> 00:05:13

impressing other people. This is condemned. In other words, you

00:05:13 --> 00:05:17

have a bad intention. I want to show off. I want people to notice,

00:05:17 --> 00:05:20

but I'm doing a good deed. I'm pretty clear so everyone can

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

imagine how good I lead. Why give charity deliberately in front of

00:05:23 --> 00:05:27

other people. Nothing wrong with giving in public, but with the

00:05:27 --> 00:05:31

idea that people will notice me all makes Allah so everyone knows

00:05:31 --> 00:05:34

and then when you do that, the action is good, but the intention

00:05:34 --> 00:05:38

is bad. And that's why Allah reprimands even in the Quran for

00:05:38 --> 00:05:42

where you will mousseline and Nadine Oman, Salah Ahimsa Hoon

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

Alladhina, whom you

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

want to those who are making salah, but those aren't making

00:05:47 --> 00:05:51

salah, Shame on those who are making Salah will make Salah to be

00:05:51 --> 00:05:55

seen by people. But regarding the social consciousness really

00:05:55 --> 00:05:58

supposed to help the neighbors and those around them. They hardly do

00:05:58 --> 00:06:03

that in another verse about the munaf green.com Willis talathi,

00:06:03 --> 00:06:07

calm Musala Euro all in us, what do I include? Hola, hola. kalila,

00:06:07 --> 00:06:12

the hypocrisy stand in prayer, very listlessly, for the stand to

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

be noticed by people.

00:06:14 --> 00:06:17

But regarding the remembrance of Allah, which is the essence of

00:06:17 --> 00:06:20

prayer, they hardly remember him much. This is directly from the

00:06:20 --> 00:06:25

Quran. So it's very important to realize, here you have a good

00:06:25 --> 00:06:29

action, but the intention was to show rather than to pray, then you

00:06:29 --> 00:06:30

have

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

good intention for a bad action.

00:06:34 --> 00:06:38

And this is how many of us rationalize our wrongs. I mean,

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

well, for example,

00:06:41 --> 00:06:44

you can say, I'm going to rob the bank, in sha Allah,

00:06:46 --> 00:06:47

say Bismillah before you say it.

00:06:48 --> 00:06:52

And then if I robbed the bank, I intend to donate half of the

00:06:52 --> 00:06:56

money, which I still have to the mosque. I don't see what the other

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

half but half I'll give to the mosque. You see, you can have a

00:06:59 --> 00:07:03

good intention for the bad action, and see, but Allah says, Allah

00:07:03 --> 00:07:06

judges you by your intention, it doesn't work like that, in

00:07:06 --> 00:07:12

Albania, is another Hadith in our team. Actions are also judged by

00:07:12 --> 00:07:17

the consequences. So a good intention for a bad thing does not

00:07:17 --> 00:07:21

make the bad thing good, because the intention may be seemingly

00:07:21 --> 00:07:27

good, but not really good. The fourth one, good intention for a

00:07:27 --> 00:07:31

good action. This is the prescribed combination for all our

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

activity as people of iman.

00:07:35 --> 00:07:40

And if the intention is sincere, and the action is beneficial, then

00:07:40 --> 00:07:46

indeed, that counts as a virtuous deed as the army who saw the good

00:07:46 --> 00:07:52

deeds, but so significant and so impactful is the good intention

00:07:52 --> 00:07:57

that precedes a good action. So impactful is the good intention

00:07:57 --> 00:08:00

that precedes a good action. Hadith Rasul Allah Allah wa

00:08:00 --> 00:08:04

sallam, both in Sahih al Bukhari and Sahih Muslim Rasul Allah said,

00:08:04 --> 00:08:08

from an Hammarby has nothing for them Yamaha cutterbar, Allah in

00:08:08 --> 00:08:12

the who has an AKA Milla that even if you intend to do something

00:08:12 --> 00:08:16

good, but you couldn't do it for some reason, Allah will reward you

00:08:16 --> 00:08:20

because of your intention. That's a good intention for a good

00:08:20 --> 00:08:25

action. The reason we do what we do, therefore, is fundamentally

00:08:25 --> 00:08:29

significant. The reason we do what we do is fundamentally

00:08:29 --> 00:08:33

significant. And it's important for us to live up to the standard

00:08:33 --> 00:08:37

of Rasulullah and the guideline of Rasulullah as documented in the

00:08:37 --> 00:08:40

Muslim of Imam Muhammad in a humble way, there are social

00:08:40 --> 00:08:45

Allahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam said, Africa when a class Allahu

00:08:45 --> 00:08:49

Allah Hulan Eman was your Allah Kalba who Salima while he sang and

00:08:49 --> 00:08:52

saw the talk when asked to whom Allah in Mohali KATUSA Akima.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:57

Successful indeed are those who by the Grace of Allah are sincere in

00:08:57 --> 00:09:01

faith, whose hearts are pure in the intention, whose tongues are

00:09:01 --> 00:09:07

truthful in speech, who have inner contentment and whose character is

00:09:07 --> 00:09:08

upright.

00:09:09 --> 00:09:15

Let us realize the following one, a conscientious person of faith is

00:09:15 --> 00:09:20

expected to harbor good intentions, to have a clean heart

00:09:20 --> 00:09:23

to have a positive attitude to have an endearing personality,

00:09:24 --> 00:09:30

while manifesting exemplary behavior to in essence, purity of

00:09:30 --> 00:09:35

intention supersedes our two actions, because they could be

00:09:35 --> 00:09:40

some show or some degree of ostentation, in an outward action,

00:09:40 --> 00:09:45

outward action. Therefore, I'm a loose Alia or righteous deed is

00:09:45 --> 00:09:50

always good intention for a good action. And thirdly,

00:09:51 --> 00:09:58

we should introspect and check on why we do what we do. For that

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

determines that too.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:05

Quality and the value of our actions Akula Kalia the first step

00:10:05 --> 00:10:08

for Allah wa salam aleikum wa rahmatullah
