The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ A truthful intention is the best action.^[1] O devotees of the Prophet! Get into the habit of making good intentions before every action, because a good intention can be the cause of entering Paradise. Before listening to the Bayan, make good intentions. For example,

*   you will listen to the entire Bayan to gain the knowledge of Islam;

*   you will sit in a respectful manner;

*   you will refrain from laziness during the bayan;

*   you will listen to the bayan to reform yourself, and

*   whatever you hear and learn, you will attempt to pass onto others.
