Zakir Naik – Is It Necessary To Make An Intention Before Fasting

			Regarding the intention still on the intentions issue, does one always have to make intentions
regarding when you're about to fast. And secondly, the timing of the intentions, can you just say
something a little bit about that? I've prayed intention is concerned, as I mentioned earlier, that
intention is the fourth, and a beloved prophet muscles himself. It's mentioned in the book of
fasting. Number 2331, a beloved Prophet said, a person passionate accepted, if he does not make
intention in the previous night.
		

			That means for all the further fasting, compulsory fasting, making intention, the previous night is
complicity. It can be any part of the previous night, it can even be till as late as just before the
fudger Time, any time of the night, you can make intention, a person
		

			can make intention in the video from that, and it can be valid for the full month of Ramadan, unless
he breaks it if he's sick. Or if he's traveling, then you have to again make intention. But one
intention is also sufficient. And many people think they have a misconception that verbally saying
it aloud is a must, which is not a requirement. I represent verbally that I intend to fast because
my intention is from the heart. For example, if I get up late in the night,
		

			much before for the time of fasting, support my son
		

			when we have got up to do a super late in the night, and my son asked me that, why have you got up,
I will tell you, because we have to fast, there's already understood the New Year's Day, I'd ever
say that I've got up too fast.
		

			The New Year's Day, so near as importantly as in the heart, you don't have to say it with your bang.
That's what most of the people think. And I don't know of any Hadith, which says that the prophet or
the Sahaba never said loudly that I intend to fast intention is in the heart. And one imitation is
sufficient for the form of Ramadan unless as I said, it's broken. But this is only for the for the
fast for a warranty Fast. Fast is not a fad, fast intention is not a fad, because again, mentioned
in the say in the book of fasting, how did number 23231 is the Prophet he does his wife that I want
food to eat. And then I said that the no food to eat. They said okay, I'm fasting. That means his
		

			intention was not there before in the previous night. He made it on the spot he abstained from
before dawn, but his intention was afterwards in the morning.
		

			So for the voluntary past, it's not compulsory to be made early the previous and except if it is a
very important one deposit Ashura, the 10th of Muharram Ashura or it can be the day of arafat, it's
preferable to make intention before that's very important first, for all the other voluntary fast,
it's not compulsory we made before previous night for the nia. There are other three things which
are very important. One thing, if it's by posts, and if something is broken, then it can be
forgiven, or by error or by forgetfulness, as Allah says in the Quran, in chapter number 16, was
106. That after a person has believed,
		

			then, if he does something of unbelief, do something
		

			except by force, and when he does by force, he will have a shake, I'll forgive. So if someone forces
a person to break the past, his Nia was in there, he can be forgiven. And Allah says in Surah
Baqarah, chapter number two was number 26, that all Lord, please do not catch us. Please, do not
hold her responsible, when we are when we make a mistake or when we forget. So if a person in his
forgetfulness, breaks is fast, like has water line forgiven, or, if, because of a mistake, I'll
forgive which you shall deal later in channel
