Islam; Islamic life & practice
""I intend.""

With those two words, your entire approach and lens of perspective to everything you do can change. The Book of Intentions by Ḥabīb Muḥammad ibn 'Alawī al-'Aydarūs, better known as Ḥabīb Sa'd, explores the transformative power of intention (niyyah) in Islamic practice. Rooted in the profound and popular hadith that ""actions are by intentions,"" this book guides readers in aligning daily actions with purpose, so every deed becomes an act of worship. Ḥabīb Sa'd emphasizes that the heart's intentions are more significant than physical actions alone; even small acts, when performed with the right intention, yield immense spiritual rewards.

The text is structured around various themes, such as visiting the mosque, gathering for prayer, and cultivating relationships with fellow believers. For each act, Ḥabīb Sa'd provides a list of recommended intentions, highlighting the unique rewards associated with them. He cites hadith and insights from the scholars and tradition to illustrate the deep-seated importance of intentions in the life of a Muslim, urging believers to make every permissible action purposeful, even routine tasks like eating or sleeping. Through these practical examples, Ḥabīb Sa'd illustrates how good intentions can sanctify daily life and create a continuous state of worship.
