Meaning An Intention

From Umar bin Khattab ra, Rasulullah SAW said:

"Every charitable act depends on the intentions and every person will get the reward according to his intention. So whoever emigrated with the intention of seeking worldly advantage or for marrying a woman, then the (reward) hijrahnya accordance with that intention." (Narrated by Bukhari)

Explanation:

Prophet Muhammad said this tradition when he migrated to Yathrib or Medina. When it spread an information that there is someone who emigrated because of chasing women join her fiance. Her name was Umm Qais. So at that time famous for a term muhajjir Umm Qais, or who emigrated because of Umm Qais. The intention is usually interpreted as the inner vibration to determine the type of worship that we do.

For example, if we perform prayers at 5:30, there are several possibilities; prayer Syukrul Ablution, Mosque Tahiyatul prayer, Fajr prayer, Istikharah, or pray Fajr. There are at least six possibilities. We see it all the same, the same movement, reading together, rakaatnya same, but there is one that distinguishes it is the intention. Issues included the intention of one of the issues that get attention "serious" in Islamic studies.

Intention is discussed at length whether it is in the science of fiqh, usul fiqh, or morals. In the science of jurisprudence, the intention is placed as the first of a series of pillars of worship, as in prayer, alms, fasting, and pilgrimage. Intention in the Principles of Fiqh usually identified as one factor that determines the legal status of any deed. Marriage is one such example. He can be mandatory status, illegitimate, and voluntary, depending on the intentions of wedlock.

Similarly, when someone uses the title after returning from the Mecca pilgrimage, the law can be mandatory, can be voluntary, and even illegitimate. Its level depends on the intention to what he wore the title of "haji. Intention in moral standpoint indicates its understanding more inner vibration that determines the quantity of a charity. Prayers are we doing with the same number of cycles, same time, and reading the same, the assessment may vary from one person to another depending on the quality of his intentions.

Intention of the highest quality is called sincere, while the intention of the lowest quality is referred riya or sum'ah, namely worship because they expect something other than the pleasure of Allah. Prophet Muhammad never expressed concern about something that later could infect people.

He also said:

"Surely there is something I am afraid of something that I fear most will happen to my people, that is small shirk."

The Companions asked: "Is that little shirk?"

He replied: "riya."

In a hadith narrated also that in the Hereafter there will be a group of people who complain, scrambling, and crying.

They said, "O God in the world we are diligent to pray, but we note as a person who does not want to pray".

The angel replied:

"Do not you remember when you pray you do not expect the pleasure of Allah, but you expect praise from men, if that's what you want, find a man that you expect praise for it."

Clearly, the quality of a charity is directly proportional to the quality of intentions that lie behind them.

If our intention is straight, then straight all our charity. But if our intention crooked, then the charity we will be crooked. In order for our intentions always straight and sincere, it would be nice if we are reliving the promises that we always say at prayer, "Verily prayer, ibadahku, life, and my death are for God cried all the worlds". And Allaah knows best-bish shawab.

The Permanent Meaningful practice

Be careful for people who worship the temporal, because it could be the act was a sign of sincerity is not perfect. Because the activities are carried out temporal worship no other, its size is the worldly affairs. It will only be done when he was needed, was hit by accident, or is being narrowed by the examination and distress, meningkatlah charity worship. Not so when the help of GOD come, easy approach, pleasure to arrive, just the ability to have a happy with GOD even disappear.

For the charity temporal, while toward the marriage of a sudden his worship so increased, the obligatory prayers on time, tahajud khusu visible, but strangely when already married, let alone tahajud, too late for the morning prayer. This act is shameful. Already given a fun, fact that even neglect his commandments. Should have tried more vigorously after marrying again in the air
taqarrub to GOD as an expression of gratitude.

When the purification ritual, for instance, turns out there besides a cleric who is quite famous and respected, ablution we consciously or not suddenly dibagus-baguskan. Others again when nobody was looking, again performed with ablution we too crude and more accelerated.

Or when a priest praying, reading the Quran we sometimes digetar-getarkan or disedih-sedihkan sorry for other people. But on the contrary when the prayer itself, our prayers become quick, solid and fast. If prayer alone he is so agile, but if there are other people so it looks nicer. Be careful there could be something behind ketidakikhlasan our devotions. Therefore if you see the deeds we do so weakens the quality and quantity when given pleasure, then that is a sign that we are not sincere in charity.

This is different from His servants who have reached station of sincerity, maqam in which a servant can serve as istiqamah and continuously sustained. When given trouble, he will soon miss knelt prostrate help GOD. While the leisure and pleasure when given the more so, in fact he's getting more knees and thank Him for the blessings of this.

The people who are sincere people who beramalnya quality in any condition or no one is watching is the same. In contrast to the less sincere, worship it will be better when there are other people watching, especially if the person is honored and respected.

It is indeed a very great fortune to people who are sincere. Why not? The people who are sincere will always awarded the reward, even for those sincere, any permissible deeds reward will turn into a reward practice sunna or mandatory. This is a result of good intentions.

So, for those who are sincere, he would not do anything unless he boxed his intentions straight to GOD alone. If you want to sit in a chair saying, "Bismilahirrahmanirrahiim, O GOD I hope this sitting activity into good deeds." Always clear verbal praise GOD for the joy of the gift could sit so she can rest eliminate fatigue. Be seated this activity means taqarrub to GOD.

Because there are many people doing sitting activities, but did not get any value, other than put [sorry!] Ass in the chair. Do not be surprised if one day GOD gave warning with ambaien sore or ulcer, just a memento that the activity of sitting is a delicious gift that GOD blessed us.

Likewise when eating, polishing your intentions to himself, because it was supposed to be in the deepest heart of hearts we believe that GOD was the one who gives food every day, not a day that escapes from the overflow of the outpouring of joy.

When buying something, taking into account also that what is purchased is intended for GOD. When buying a vehicle, as GOD intended. Because according to the Prophet Muhammad, the vehicle there are three types, 1) Vehicles to GOD, 2) Vehicles for the devil, 3) Vehicles for himself. What characteristics? If his intention was, to be used for serious benefits to worship, serious benefits to religion, then this is the vehicle for GOD. But if just for show, fun, ujub, then this is the vehicle for the devil. While the vehicle for himself, misakan horse reared, bred, used without intention, then this is the vehicle for yourself.

Make sure that if we purchase a vehicle, our intention is nothing but because GOD. Therefore beg it to GOD, "GOD Yes I need a decent vehicle, which can lighten to study engineering, which could alleviate for charity, which can alleviate in maintaining trust." Subhanallah for people who had intended it like this, then, gasoline, seat, Shockbreaker her, and all of the vehicle is in good balance, GOD willing. Conversely, if used for maksiyat, then we also will bear.

Another virulence of a servant who is sincere will get the reward of charity, although in fact his credit is not perfect, not even mengamalkanya. These are special people who are sincere deeds. At one point the liver was intended it would wake up nights to tahajud, "Oh GOD I want tahajud, wake at 03. 30 O GOD." Alarm was turned, the wife was told, "Mah, when Mamah first wake up, wake papah. Hour and a half four we will tahajud. Oh GOD I wish I could kneel to you in time ijabahnya prayer." Pray and go to sleep he would wake up with determination tahajud.

Unfortunately, when I woke up was already dawn call to prayer. For servants who are sincere, instead he will happily mingled sad. Sad because they do not miss out tahajud prayers and happy because she still gets her reward. For people who already intend to tahajud and not awakened by GOD, then if he was determined, GOD will definitely give her reward. Maybe GOD knows, the days we've been through will drain a lot of energy. GOD knows best what will happen, GOD also knowing that we might have a deficit of energy because we rush too much. Only GOD was that lull us into a deep sleep.

It's charity made any sincere servant will stay meaningful, will remain valuable, and will still get a reward worth the reward. Subhanallah.

Pearls Hadith

Ibn Umar said the Prophet Muhammad a day near me and he held my shoulders as he said: 'Be thou in this world as if a stranger or as persons who cross the road'. "

Explanation:
Hadith above contains a message that we do not be lulled by the mundane life and other knickknacks. Prophet encourages us to live life like for foreigners who are always thinking to go home. Or as the next phrase, "Be we as a pedestrian."

Of course many things we have noticed when crossing the road. We must always be careful to not hit by a vehicle or tersenggol other people passing by. A pedestrian path will also hasten to get to the next corner. The contents of this hadith depict an allegory of the Prophet Muhammad about how we deal with the life of this world. There are other things that is interesting related to this tradition, namely comment from Ibn 'Umar. He said, "If you are able to do (finish) a job in the afternoon, do not you postpone it until tomorrow morning.

And if you have the opportunity to do things the morning, then do not be postponed until the arrival of the evening. And let you take advantage of as much as possible when you are in good health. And should prepare yourself as much as possible, before the coming of death ". What Ibn Umar disclosed this, in truth is the exact explanation of what the Prophet Muhammad in the hadith spoken above. How the Prophet Muhammad tells us to live in the world as a man who was on his way, where we will always think of to go home and just do the things that are considered necessary only.

And obviously, we will not delay the work at that time because we are pressed for time. Concrete example is when we perform the pilgrimage to the Sacred House in Makkah. Seingin Sesakral and whatever we visited the Makkah, then rest assured we will still want to go home. Because we are there is just gharim or strangers. Similarly, should the conditions we live in this life. Whatever we are as happy and at will in the world, or anything as rich as we are in the world, then we must still yearn to return to our eternal nature.

Therefore, the life of this world do not ever make ourselves terlela and to forget himself. This is the message the Prophet Muhammad who later commented on by Ibn Umar that the transience of life in the world should make us not procrastinate doing good. Do not live in this world we are content with things that are not useful. Whatever exists in this world should be a stock return us to the nature of eternity. It is true what is said Ali bin Abi Talib ra. when someone asked about what was done at the time of the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad.

Ali kw said that what the friends are religious. None of that made them unless worth of worship, be it in solitude, family, or in muamalah. Why are they able to do all this? The answer, they know that life is only a temporary haven and a death that would be the end of their lives in the world. Therefore, they make the world as the arena armed themselves to welcome more eternal life. And Allaah knows best-bish shawab
