their applause and praise and
neglect the real intention, which
is to know and please the Master
of the Worlds.
Sufyan ath-Thawri v said, “I
have not treated anything more
difficult than my intention,
because it keeps changing.”
Yusuf
ibn
Asbat
v
said, “Purifying the intention
from its corruption is harder
upon the workers, than long
striving ( in their work).”
The question I ask myself is,
“How do I set my intentions
correct?” and then I think of the
following points.
1. Who is the Most Important
being in my life ? and I could
only think of Allah I.
2. What is the most important
desire in my life? and I could
only think of His Vision.
3. What is the most important
achievement in my life? and I
could only think of Paradise.
4. Who is the one I will like to be
with on the Day of Judgment?
and I could only think of the
beloved of Allah e.
These few answers help me to
have the correct picture in my
heart of what my intention is.
