MONITORING OUR INTENTIONS FOR ANYTHING WE DO.
Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH peace be upon him said: ‘The deeds are considered by their intentions, and a person will get the reward according to his intentions.’ We usually make an intention before we perform good deeds such as fasting or giving sadaqah (charity). However, we often tend to forget to make an intention for the little everyday tasks we normally do. If we really want our hasanat (reward from good deeds) to soar during all the time, let's make a sincere intention for every little task we perform. For instance, if you’re cooking for your family, make the intention that the time you spend in the kitchen cooking in order to feed your family is to please ALLAH. Do not complain to them about something they've done bad to you referring to your sacrifice to wake up and cook, doing so takes away the rewards from ALLAH.
We ask ALLAH to forgive our ignorance and accept our good deeds even when we fault doing it. Aameen.
