The intention of a person is not his utterance of the words, I intend to do so and so. It is an overflowing from the heart which runs like conquests inspired by Allah. At times it is made easy, at other times, difficult. A person whose heart is overwhelmingly righteous finds it easy to summon good intentions at most times. Such a person has a heart generally inclined to the roots of goodness which, most of the time, blossom into the manifestation of good actions. As for those whose hearts incline towards and are overwhelmed by worldy matters, they find this difficult to accomplish and even obligatory acts of worship may become difficult and tiresome. The Prophet (saw) said: Actions are only by intention, and every man shall only have what he intended. Thus he whose emigration (hijrah) was for Allah and was for Allah and His Messenger, his emigrationwas for Allah and His Messenger, and he whose emigration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his emigrationwas for that for which he made emigration.
