Mursaleen. So you didn't want to be no more than Muhammad wa ala
alihi wa sahbihi marine layer that I'm keen on Tharwa Hikmah Hamid Al
Quran Al Karim nights of empowerment, parables and wisdom
from the Glorious Quran.
Everything that comes into existence in the universe begins
with Iran and intended desire.
In fact, Allah subhanho wa Taala says in Surah Yaseen in nama Umrah
who either are or the Cheyenne, a year old Allah who can pay
for he says Be and it is, there is a wool for that thing to happen.
And therefore, we say erotica,
or the desire is activated by a creative power, the creative power
of Nia or the power of intention.
And Nia is a directed impulse,
a directed impulse of consciousness or a desire of the
heart, or an aspiration of the soul that motivates us to do
whatever we do.
Nia is a significant means whereby worthiness of inaction is valued
and judged. And of course, Allah is the ultimate judge. But the
notion of Nia and the motivation and the desire why we do what we
do, for example, Allah subhanho wa Taala says, you are keen to come
be Marchesa.
Allah takes you to task for what your hearts have conceived in
earnestness, what you really want in your heart, Allah looks at
that. And therefore it also said, Allahu alayhi wa sallam, in the
most famous saying, documented in the Sahih Muslim. In the Malama
lupini yard. We're in nama. Luckily, man, our actions are by
intentions, and for each one, according to what he or she
intended.
So we say, as your intention is, so is your action.
As your intention is, so is your action. So let's evaluate that.
One is you can have a bad intention for a bad action. You
can have bad intention for a bad direction. And this is never
acceptable in Islam. It's abhorrent, and in fact punishable.
Example of that.
Hadith in Sahih al Bukhari sahih al Bukhari and by Imam Muslim
Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said either the word Muslim
man is a femur for kala who Muhammad ali na, for cotton
Walmart to deliver high cotton Yaga Sula, for marble Mattoon for
Collison, Allahu alayhi wa early was called in the order
in the who are either Cutler Sahibi the soul was said to some
people, when two Muslims fight, intending to kill one another,
both of them are in the fire.
So the question as Yara should Allah we understand the one who
wants to kill is in the fire. But why the Muslim who got killed, he
said because he was desirous, intending to kill the other.
This makes us realize
how important it is that you cannot have a bad intention and a
bad action and accept it to be acceptable to Allah. bad
intention. Bad action is never acceptable, then you have bad
intention. For a good action. This can be very deceptive. For
example,
we know that true belief and true or Ibadah is done with sincerity.
For example, if you take prayer, we need to know whatever we do,
but the utterance of the mouth we can say lie in Allah, but it needs
to come from the heart. Whether we pray ritually up in downs one
thing may Allah accept from us, but coming from the heart is
something else. Last Allah in Labradoodle club, there's no Salah
without the presence of the heart. It's very important. Since you

killed a rollup said, just bowing your head doesn't make it sujood
doesn't make it a bother your heart is to be pleasant for it to
be in a bother. So it needs to be something that manifests or
emanates from our Wirkkala Phil was at the coal as from hospital
bossley said emanating from the heart. In other words, the
individual's heart and attitude. There's goodness emanating from
it, motivating the person to believe
Lin's are to goodness, and therefore in the Quran, the notion
of unconscious worshipping or worshiping with the aim of
impressing other people. This is condemned. In other words, you
have a bad intention. I want to show off. I want people to notice,
but I'm doing a good deed. I'm pretty clear so everyone can
imagine how good I lead. Why give charity deliberately in front of
other people. Nothing wrong with giving in public, but with the
idea that people will notice me all makes Allah so everyone knows
and then when you do that, the action is good, but the intention
is bad. And that's why Allah reprimands even in the Quran for
where you will mousseline and Nadine Oman, Salah Ahimsa Hoon
Alladhina, whom you
want to those who are making salah, but those aren't making
salah, Shame on those who are making Salah will make Salah to be
seen by people. But regarding the social consciousness really
supposed to help the neighbors and those around them. They hardly do
that in another verse about the munaf green.com Willis talathi,
calm Musala Euro all in us, what do I include? Hola, hola. kalila,
the hypocrisy stand in prayer, very listlessly, for the stand to
be noticed by people.
But regarding the remembrance of Allah, which is the essence of
prayer, they hardly remember him much. This is directly from the
Quran. So it's very important to realize, here you have a good
action, but the intention was to show rather than to pray, then you
have
good intention for a bad action.
And this is how many of us rationalize our wrongs. I mean,
well, for example,
you can say, I'm going to rob the bank, in sha Allah,
say Bismillah before you say it.
And then if I robbed the bank, I intend to donate half of the
money, which I still have to the mosque. I don't see what the other
half but half I'll give to the mosque. You see, you can have a
good intention for the bad action, and see, but Allah says, Allah
judges you by your intention, it doesn't work like that, in
Albania, is another Hadith in our team. Actions are also judged by
the consequences. So a good intention for a bad thing does not
make the bad thing good, because the intention may be seemingly
good, but not really good. The fourth one, good intention for a
good action. This is the prescribed combination for all our
activity as people of iman.
And if the intention is sincere, and the action is beneficial, then
indeed, that counts as a virtuous deed as the army who saw the good
deeds, but so significant and so impactful is the good intention
that precedes a good action. So impactful is the good intention
that precedes a good action. Hadith Rasul Allah Allah wa
sallam, both in Sahih al Bukhari and Sahih Muslim Rasul Allah said,
from an Hammarby has nothing for them Yamaha cutterbar, Allah in
the who has an AKA Milla that even if you intend to do something
good, but you couldn't do it for some reason, Allah will reward you
because of your intention. That's a good intention for a good
action. The reason we do what we do, therefore, is fundamentally
significant. The reason we do what we do is fundamentally
significant. And it's important for us to live up to the standard
of Rasulullah and the guideline of Rasulullah as documented in the
Muslim of Imam Muhammad in a humble way, there are social
Allahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam said, Africa when a class Allahu
Allah Hulan Eman was your Allah Kalba who Salima while he sang and
saw the talk when asked to whom Allah in Mohali KATUSA Akima.
Successful indeed are those who by the Grace of Allah are sincere in
faith, whose hearts are pure in the intention, whose tongues are
truthful in speech, who have inner contentment and whose character is
upright.
Let us realize the following one, a conscientious person of faith is
expected to harbor good intentions, to have a clean heart
to have a positive attitude to have an endearing personality,
while manifesting exemplary behavior to in essence, purity of
intention supersedes our two actions, because they could be
some show or some degree of ostentation, in an outward action,
outward action. Therefore, I'm a loose Alia or righteous deed is
always good intention for a good action. And thirdly,
we should introspect and check on why we do what we do. For that
determines that too.
Quality and the value of our actions Akula Kalia the first step
for Allah wa salam aleikum wa rahmatullah
