Pursuit of Happiness....




All the attainments are dependent on Niyyah—intention, purpose and will. Niyyah is located in the heart and a scholar has divided it into two components: knowledge and action.

Knowledge Is The Knowledge Of Things
You Want To Do Or Do Not Want To Do;
The Purpose And Goal Of What You Want To Do;
And Why You Want To Do Or Not Do It.




According to your knowledge, what your action means to you, how much you believe in it and its purpose, and what you are going to achieve from it for yourself and others will generate the niyyah—whether it is to carry out an action or avoid it. By this way, the niyyah itself stands on three pillars:


Knowledge,
Will/desire to do, and
The ability to do it


The More You Know About Something
The More Convinced You Become About Your View Of It...
And The More You Believe In It,
The More It Will Generate A Will Within...




This is what pushes you and gives you the strength to carry out the actions! And all this is the PILLAR or pre-requisite of niyyah, after all; this is what niyyah is. What is the purpose of knowing all of the above?


A Mo’min (Believer) Weighs All His Actions ...
According To The Teachings And Pleasure Of Allah And His Prophet SAW
He will always question his intentions asking before each action—why yes, and why no; what am I going to gain from this act in this life and the hereafter; and how does it help me leave the kind of legacy I want to leave behind in this world. This is called sincerity.


The Purity Of Intention Where You Do Everything
Just To Please Allah SWT Without Waiting
For Any Acknowledgment From Others,
But Waiting For The Reward And Pleasure Of Allah
And The Benefit Of Muslims And All Mankind...
