Remaining Madani pearls regarding intention

٭ An intention signifies willingness of the heart. To verbally pronounce the intention is preferable provided it is present in the heart. (Bahar-e-Niyyat, pp. 10)

٭ The purpose of making intention is to differentiate between forms of worship or to differentiate between worship and a habit. (Bahar-e-Niyyat, pp. 11)

٭ In case of no intention present in the heart and one pronounces his intention verbally; it is not a valid intention. (Bahar-e-Niyyat, pp. 10)

٭ In order to form a habit of making good intentions, keeping their significance in view, first of all, you will have to seriously make up your mind. (Sawab Berhanay kay Nuskhay, pp. 3)

٭ Sayyiduna Nu’aym Bin Hammad رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَالٰی عَـلَيْه has stated, ‘It is easier for us to be whipped on our back than to make a good intention.’ (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, pp. 152)
