    What is the location of your intention?
    Intention is a state, action, and description of the heart. You can say something that’s not in your heart, but it won’t mean anything because it doesn’t have intention behind it.

    Two Types of Intentions
    Salam
    1. One type is obligatory intention, without which an act of worship is not valid, like the intention in doing wudoo’, praying, paying zakaah, fasting. and doing Hajj. For example, if you intend to offer the prayer and you get up to do it, then you have formed the intention. In such cases it’s difficult to forget to form the intention. You know you’re standing up to pray a certain prayer. This is your ‘fiqh’ intention and this is how you differentiate one act of worship from another. It focuses on the action itself.

    2. Another is the mustahabb— intention in order to gain reward. This is what some people forget. It means to keep the intention in mind when doing permissible things like eating, drinking, and sleeping, with the intention of strengthening oneself to do acts of worship. As the Prophet (sa) said: You will never spend anything that you spend for the sake of Allaah, but you will be rewarded for it, even the morsel of food that you put in your wife’s mouth. [Al-Bukhaari]

    This is your sincere intention and it focuses on who the action is for and why it’s done.

    Thank you.... I often forget. . . . and after a while the definition becomes fuzzy and I forget again. . . Such a fine distinction that needs constant reminding.
