٭Intention refers to the intention of heart. Uttering the intention from the tongue while it’s present in the heart is even better. (Bahar-e-Niyyat, pp. 10)

 ٭The purpose of intention is to separate it from worship or differentiate between worship and a habitual action. (Bahar-e-Niyyat, pp. 11)

 ٭If intention is not present in the heart, then intention will not be made by merely uttering the words of intention from the tongue. (Bahar-e-Niyyat, pp. 10)

 ٭The one who is not used to making good intentions will have to work hard in the start to make the habit for it. (Sawab Berhaanay kay Nuskhay, pp. 3)

 ٭In order to develop the habit of making intentions, one will have to seriously make his own mindset while keeping in view the importance of intentions. (Sawab Berhaanay kay Nuskhay, pp. 3)

 ٭Sayyiduna Na’eem Bin Hammad رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه used to say that ‘it is easier for us to have our backs whipped than to make righteous intentions’. (Tanbih-ul-Mughtarrin, pp. 25)

 ٭Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم has stated: ‘A person is given such rewards upon righteous intention that are not even given to him on virtuous action, because there is no ostentation in intention.’ (Jahannam mayn Lay Jaanay Walay A’maal, vol. 1, pp. 152)
