pairs of intentions, achieve the benefits

In a hadith the Messenger of Allah SAW said: "Whoever with the intention of seeking war booty in the form of rope camel, then he (only) get over what he intended." (Narrated by Ahmad)

Deeds of the great jihad so there's no price on the side of God because of untruth intentions. Jihad means to mobilize resources and efforts to defend the religion of God, only worth camel rope because the wrong intentions.

In a case that is permissible cases that do not contain any reward for the work and left it a sin for which, such as eating and drinking will produce the reward if there is good faith in such action. Eat and drink so that our body becomes energized. With strong energy, we intend to be more active worship.


In the past, the deeds of our forefathers to teach their children who have not attained the age of baligh to install intentions. Was delivered by their teachings as taught to read surah Al-Fatihah. Thorough, careful, and thorough. They lead the intention in the heart son and daughter in all things: eating and drinking with a strong intention of worship, studying with the intention of seeking knowledge, sleeping in the beginning of time with the intention of night waking, and so forth.

Without the sincere intention in the charity, the charity will not be up to God. Like the person who sent a letter to his brother who lives in town A but in the envelope he wrote addresses B, will the letter reached the hands of his brother?

A servant who say, "Na` budu wa Iyyaaka Iyyaaka Nasta `iin (Only to You we worship and unto Thee we ask for help)" but because 'address' in his heart one, will not be up to God.

Primacy of intentions we can find the story of what happened in the Children of Israel. Aada an expert of worship that is not affluent but have a broad chest full of love to anyone. One day, he passed on a mound of dirt. At that time, the Children of Israel being overwritten during a famine. Food is difficult to find, kelaparang struck with so great.

Then, in his heart he intends, "If the land is turned into flour, would be filling the stomach the Children of Israel."

Then Allah revealed to one of their prophets (Bani Israel), "Say to So and so, that God has given the reward to you as if the land is turned into flour and then you give alms to him."
From now on, we put good intentions to himself before doing things. Link to our hearts only to expect the pleasure of Allah, then the happiness of the world and the hereafter is in the palm of our hands.
