Yusuf Gassiep – Naseegah Segment #01

A very well known hadith

amongst the treasure chest of Rasulullah sallahu alaihi

wasallam's legacy

is a hadith that almost every hadith book

starts with.

A hadith

which Imam Shafi

considers half of Islamic knowledge.

The Prophet

teaches us here that verily our actions are

judged by our intentions,

and an individual will attain that which he

intends.

And so we know that

the correctness

of our actions

and whether Allah

will accept our action or not,

is purely based

on the reason

on why we do this action.

And so for many of us, that's the

understanding we have of this hadith,

but this hadith also brings about

a better quality

of the action

that we

give to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala or that

we present to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala?

Have you ever noticed when you intend

on buying a new vehicle

or new pair of shoes,

and the next day you go out and

you see every second person is wearing the

same shoe or driving the same car.

It's not that something happened, but rather with

your intention,

your attention

of that object

was impacted.

And so,

during the month of Ramadan,

we need to renew our attention

and intention.

Renew

intention every day.

Renew your intention

every day, and that will impact on the

quality

of the fasting

and the praying that you present to Allah

This intention does not stop when we say

it after Taraweeh at night, but rather it

is something which should be renewed throughout the

day. As the Prophet

says,

That verily actions are judged by the last

of it. And so, inshaAllahu ta'ala,

we pray that our intentions are good at

the beginning of the action,

during the action,

and at the end of it, at the

conclusion of it.

This Ramadan,

do

more.

SANSAV,

changing lives through development and relief.
