Book Name:Imam e Hussain Ki Seerat
The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ – “The best of deeds is a sincere intention.”[1]
O those who love Allah’s Messenger! Make it a habit to form good intentions before every action, as good intentions can lead one to Paradise. Before listening to the speech, we can make the following good intentions:
* I will listen to the entire speech to gain knowledge.
* I will sit respectfully.
* I will avoid being lazy.
* I will listen with the intention of self-improvement.
* I will try to convey what I learn to others.
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Sayyidunā YaꜤlā b. Murrah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ states:
Once, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and the noble Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم were invited somewhere. The beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم set out to attend the invitation, accompanied by the Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم. On the way, at one spot, they saw the Grandson of the Messenger, Imam Ḥusayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ , (who was very young at the time), playing with children. The noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, swiftly moved towards him and opened his blessed hands, just as a father stretches out both hands for his child to run and embrace him.
