إن الحمد لله، نحمدُه ونستعينُه
ونستغفرُه وَنَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ
ونعوذُ باللهِ من شرورِ أنفسنا
ومن سيئات أعمالنا
من يهدِه الله فلا مضلَّ له،
ومن يضلِلْ فلا هادي له،
وأشهدُ أنْ لا إله إلا الله
وحده لا شريكَ له،
وأشهدُ أن محمداً عبده ورسوله
لا نبيئ بعده
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ
وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ
إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ
فإن أصدق الحديث كتابُ الله
وخيرَ الهدي هديُ محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم،
وشرَّ الأمورِ محدثاتُها
وكلَّ محدثة بدعةٌ وكلَّ بدعة ضلالةٌ
وكلَّ ضلالة في النار
معاشر المسلمين، أًوصيكم ونفسي بتقوى الله،
فقد فاز المتقون
Ahlul Sunnah Wal Jamaah believes that ...
... faith may increase
and may also decrease.
Faith increases with good deeds.
And faith decreases while committing sins
toward Allah SWT.
And good deeds ...
... as explained by the scholars ...
... consist of three things.
Deeds by one’s tongue, one’s physical,
and one’s heart.
Many people, when they want to increase
their faith, they're only concerned with...
... good deeds done with their tongue
and their body.
They recite the Quran with their tongue.
They say Allah’s names with their tongue.
They do good deeds with their actions.
They do prayers, hajj, umrah,
and many others.
But good deeds are also with your heart.
Many good deeds are performed
by one’s heart.
Among important good deeds ...
... is to have good intention.
Therefore, the salaf said ...
نِيةُ المُؤْمِنِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ
A mukmin’s intention is better
than his actions.
This hadits was narrated
from the Apostle ﷺ.
In a hadith, but this hadith is weak.
But its meaning is true.
Therefore, it is said by the salaf,
... and its meaning was
explained by the scholars.
Why would one’s intention ...
... be better than his actions?
Scholars explain several sides.
First.
Intention is pure ...
It can be said as act of worship.
While action without intention ...
... cannot be said as an act of worship.
Pure intention without action
may be valued as an act of worship.
While action without intention ...
Cannot be valued as an act of worship.
Therefore, the Apostle ﷺ said:
مَنْ هَمَّ بِحَسَنَةٍ
فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كتبَ لَهُ
حَسَنَةً كَامِلَةً ،
“Whosoever intended
to perform a good deed ...
... and he did not do it ...
Allah writes it down with Himself
as a full good deed.
He did not do it.
But since he intended to do good,
he will receive reward.
But a good deed without intention,
it is impossible to be rewarded.
This is one explanation to why intention
is better than actions.
The second one.
Intention is a heart’s deed.
While action is physical deed.
We know that the heart is the king.
And the body parts
are his troop.
And of course a king’s deed would be valued
differently than his troop’s deed.
The third, in general ...
... Heart’s deed is better
than physical deed.
Therefore, the Apostle ﷺ said:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَنْظُرُ
إلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَلاَ أَجْسَادِكُمْ
وَلَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ
وَأَعْمَالِكُمْ
“Verily Allah does not look
at your faces.”
“Allah does not look
at your bodies “
“But Allah looks at your heart
and at your deeds.”
The prophet mentioned heart first
before deeds.
Among things that make one’s intention is
better than one’s deeds ...
If one has good intention ...
... and he performs as he can,
and he cannot finish doing it...
It will be noted as
a full deed.
There are many sayings about this.
Among them, the Apostle ﷺ said:
During Tabuk war,
The Apostle said to the companions.
إِنَّ بالمدِينَةِ لَرِجَالً
ما سِرْتُمْ مَسِيرًا،
وَلاَ قَطَعْتُمْ وَادِيًا،
إلاَّ كَانُوا مَعَكمْ
حَبَسَهُمُ الْمَرَضُ.
“There are some people in Medina.”
“Whenever you cover a distance.”
“Whenever you cross a valley.
“They are with you.”
“They have been detained by illness.”
In another hadith, the Apostle ﷺ said:
إلاَّ شَرَكُوكُمْ في الأجْرِ
“They are with you
they shared with you in the reward.”
Why did they get the reward?
Because they had intended to
but could not go to war.
Imagine. They stayed in Madinah.
They did not go with the companions.
To walk more than 700 km
to reach Tabuk.
And go back.
1.400 km would have been covered.
They stayed in Madinah.
But the reward was the same
because they had intended to go to war.
And that was the only thing they could do.
They could not go
because of their illness.
The Apostle ﷺ also said:
إنَّمَا الدُّنْيَا لأرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ
“The world is for four kinds of people.”
First,
رجل آتاه الله عِلْمًا وَ مالا
One upon whom Allah has bestowed
wealth and knowledge.
فَهُوَ يَعْمَلُ بِهِ فِي طَاعته
“And he uses his wealth in Allah’s way.”
“He fears his Lord
in respect to them.”
رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ عِلْمًا
وَلَمْ يُؤْتِهِ مَالاً
One upon whom Allah has conferred
knowledge but no wealth.
And he said.
لَوْ أنَّ لِي مِثْل مَال فُلانٍ
لَعَمِلْتُ مِثْلَ مَاعْمَل فُلانٍ
“Had I possessed wealth like Fulan,”
“I would have acted like so-and-so
like the first person.”
Then the Apostle ﷺ said:
هُوَ بنيَّتِهِ، فأجْرُهُمَا سَوَاء
“If that is his intention, his reward is
the same as that of the other.”
This shows that
a good intention ...
... has great influence,
and can receive a reward ..
... in full as if he performs it.
The Apostle ﷺ also said:
إِذَا مَرِضَ الْعَبْدُ أَوْ سَافَرَ
كُتِبَ لَهُ مَا كَانَ يَعْمَلُ
مُقِيمًا صَحِيحًا
“'When a slave falls ill or travels ...
Then he will get reward ...
... similar to that he gets for good deeds
practiced at home when in good health.
When he is healthy, he always
perform rawatib.
When he is healthy,
he prays at night.
When he is not traveling,
he performs supererogatory fasting.
When he travels, he is not able
to perform supererogatory fasting
He can neither do rawatib
nor pray at night.
But Allah still writes down
as if he performs them.
Because his intention was obstracted
due to traveling.
The Apostle ﷺ also said:
مَنْ سَألَ اللهَ تَعَالَى
الشَّهَادَةَ بِصِدْقٍ
بَلَّغَهُ اللهُ مَنَازِلَ الشُّهَدَاءِ،
وَإنْ مَاتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ
"He who supplicates Allah sincerely
for martyrdom ...
... Allah will elevate him
to the station of the martyrs ...
Even if he dies on his bed."
Even if he does not go
to war.
But if he asks Allah sincerely
and keeps on trying ...
But he cannot, for example
because there is no war ...
Then, even if he dies on his bed ...
Allah will consider him as a martyr.
The Apostle ﷺ also said:
مَنْ أَتَى فِرَاشَهُ، وَهُوَ يَنْوِي
أَنْ يَقُوْم فيُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ
فَغَلَبَهُ النَّوْمُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ،
كُتِبَ لَهُ مَا نَوَى،
وَكَانَ نَوْمُهُ صَدَقَةً عَلَيْهِ
“Whoever goes to his bed ...
... intending to get up
and pray qiyam at night ...
... then sleep overwhelms him
until morning ...
... will have recorded that
which he intended.
And his sleep is a charity given to him
by his Lord, the Mighty and Sublime.”
It shows that
intention has ...
... strong power, and sometimes
it goes beyond the deed itself.
Among things that shows
that one’s intention ...
... is better than one’s deeds ...
The scholars say, intention is pure
without arrogance and ostentation.
When one has a good intention,
no one knows it.
Unless he reveals it.
Then he will have this arrogance
and ostentation.
As long as he hides it
only Allah is Knowing.
Therefore, there is no ostentation
for his intention.
There is no arrogance
that will cancel his deeds.
While deed is vulnerable to
arrogance and ostentaion.
أقول قولي هذا
واستغفر الله لي ولكم ولسائر المسلمين
من كل ذنب وخطيئة
فأستغفره إنه هو الغفور الرحيم
الحمد لله على إحسانه،
والشكر له على توفيقه وامتنانه،
وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله
وحده لا شريك له تعظيما لشأنه
وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله الداعي
إلى رضوانه
أللهم صلي عليه وعل أله وأصحابه وإخوانه
معاشر المسلمين
Among things that can help us to reach
higher reward ...
... is to be sincere to Allah SWT
with our intention ...
... in worldly matters.
If we intend it for Allah SWT ...
These worldly matters
will turn into good deeds.
What did the Apostle ﷺ say
to Sa’ad bin Waqsh RA?
لَسْتَ تُنْفِقُ نَفَقَةً
تَبْتَغي بِهَا وَجهَ اللهِ
إلاَّ أُجِرْتَ عَلَيْهَا
حَتَّى اللُّقْمَةَ تَجْعَلُهَا فِي
فِي امْرَأَتِكَ
"You do not spend anything ...
“You do not spend your wealth ...
... by which you desire the face
of Allah SWT ...
you will get reward for it even
for the food you put in your wife’s mouth.
The scholars say, when a man
puts food in his wife’s mouth,
... it shows
that they are being romantic.
It is far from act of worship.
It is worldly.
They are being romantic.
But if the husband intends this action
for Allah SWT ...
... he will be rewarded.
It is even more than that.
When he does intercourse
with his wife because of Allah SWT,
he will be rewarded.
The Apostle ﷺ said:
وَفِى بُضْعِ أَحَدِكُمْ صَدَقَةٌ
In man's sexual Intercourse
(with his wife), there is charity.
We spend plenty of our time
to find a living to provide for our family.
And we shall have the intention
that we work to worship Allah SWT.
Our intention is to provide
for our wife and children.
Our intention is to use this wealth
to tie relationships.
Our intention is to use this wealth
in a good way.
With this intention, all of these actions
may be rewarded by Allah SWT.
Do not make our times,
Hours to go here and there
from morning afternoon, even evening.
If we do not intend it for Allah SWT.
We will lose this time,
and there is no value in it.
If we intend it for Allah SWT ...
Then it will be valued
and rewarded by Allah SWT.

أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمْ وَأَنْتَ المُؤَخِّرُ
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا
وَإِنْ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا
لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً
وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً
