Intentions~NATIVE DEEN

Waking up in the morning,
gotta make my prayer.
Am I really gonna' make it,
when there is no one there?

Taking trips to the masjid (mosque),
even when it's tough.
Am I going for the sake of Allah?
Am I showing off?

Gonna get me the knowledge,
gonna study Islam.
Am I going just to build my ego?
so they call me “the Man”?

Does it matter if the people respect me,
when it’s not for Allah?
When I know anytime He can take me,
without one real du'a (prayer).

Does it matter if they say I'm a big shot?
when I get no reward for my deeds.
And I'm dragged on the Day of Resurrection,
Cause of the folks that I wanted to please.

Plus I know that Allah has the power,
To raise me up in their eyes if it need be.
I should always make my intentions,
for my Lord, Allah completely.

Are my Intentions alright?
Am I doing it for Allah?
When I'm looking deep, deep down inside,
Do I have the right niyyah?

Wearing thoubs with a kufi, kufi.
Miswaks leather socks like the old days.
Am I trying to follow the Prophet?
or am I seeking praise?

Giving talks on Islam to the people,
I'd be quoting Hadith and Qur'an.
Am I speaking so they like how I'm speaking?
and they say I'm “the Bomb”.

Donating to Islamic centers,
giving money so the Deen can grow.
Am I giving for the sake of Allah?
or is it for show?

Many times I have found my intentions,
Are not what I want them to be.
I know I start on the right direction,
But Shaitan starts talking to me.

And I forget that without my niyyah,
I'm just wasting my time,
My intentions cannot bring the reward,
when they're out of line.

So I pray to Allah to help me,
to do everything for Him only.
Doesn't matter if the people despise me,
Cause with Allah I can never be lonely.

Yah Allah, accept this niyyah.
Coming from young Muslims striving to be believers.
So on this day, our deeds You'll measure.
Know we only did this strictly for Your pleasure,
Your pleasure, Your mercy, Your ajr (reward), Your Jannah (heaven),
forever and ever and ever.
And reward us for those who listen,
Heeded to the message, changing their condition.
And know that everything up until this point I've ever written,
I submit as my repentance.
And if its blessings You're sending my way,
I beg You hold them to the judgement day,
so maybe in Jannah I can look back and say...
it was a lovely day, a lovely, a lovely day, yes a lovely day.

Are my intentions, alright?
Am I doing for Allah?
When I am looking deep deep down inside,
Do I have the right niyyah (intention)?


Dari Amirul Mukminin Umar Al-Khattab r.a katanya : " Aku mendengar Rasulullah SAW bersabda" :' Hanyasanya amalan-amalan itu adalah (bergantung) kepada niat, dan hanyasanya bagi setiap manusia itu apa (balasan) yang diniatkannya. Maka barangsiapa yang berhijrah kepada Allah dan RasulNya, maka hijrahnya itu adalah kepada Allah dan RasulNya. Dan barangsiapa yang berhijrah kerana dunia yang ingin ia memperolehinya atau kerana seorang perempuan yang ingin ia menikahinya, maka hijrahnya itu adalah atas apa yang ia berhijrah kerananya.' [ Hadis Pertama dr hadis 40 Imam Nawawi ]

O Allah, please correct our intentions everytime we do good deeds..make all our intentions just to please You, not to please people. And please forgive us for our weaknesses..and please show us the path that You bless..ameen.

Wassalam.
