Two people doing the prayer, the first man grabbed keridhoaan Allah so that his sins fall, while the second person get a crash and the wrath of Allah because nifak and riya’nya. This is an obvious example of the importance of intentions and mengikhlaskan intention in the whole practice.
The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam has warned this in his words:
إنما الأعمال بالنيات وإنما لكل امرئ ما نوى
Indeed all the deeds that occur with intention, and everyone got what he intended. [HR. Bukhari, no. 1; Muslim, no. 1907; of Umar ibn al-Khaththab]
Truly a charity will be receiving in the hand of Allah if it meets two conditions, namely intentions are sincere and follow the Sunnah. Therefore, Allah will see the human heart, if sincere, and see his deeds, whether in accordance with the guidance. The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam said:
إن الله لا ينظر إلى صوركم وأموالكم ولكن ينظر إلى قلوبكم وأعمالكم
Verily Allah does not see the shape you and treasure you, but He sees your heart and your charity. (Narrated by Muslim, no. 2564)
Hence mengikhlaskan intention is an order of Allah to all human beings, as His Word:
Though they were not told, except to worship Allah with obedience to Him purify the (running) the right religion, and that they establish prayer and alms meunaikan; and that is the right religion. (Surah 98:5)
GOODWILL IN KINDNESS
Including Rohmat and grace of Allah is that He has written a good servant simply because the desire to do good. While the desire to do evil has not been written. The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam explained this in the hadith as follows:
إن الله كتب الحسنات والسيئات ثم بين ذلك فمن هم بحسنة فلم يعملها كتبها الله له عنده حسنة كاملة فإن هو هم بها فعملها كتبها الله له عنده عشر حسنات إلى سبع مائة ضعف إلى أضعاف كثيرة ومن هم بسيئة فلم يعملها كتبها الله له عنده حسنة كاملة فإن هو هم بها فعملها كتبها الله له سيئة واحدة
Verily Allah writes all the goodness and badness. Whoever wants to do good, then he did not do it, Allah writes with Him reward perfect one for her kindness. If he wants to do good, then he does it, Allah writes reward good ten to 700 times, up to many times the amount. Whoever wishes to do evil, then he did not do it, Allah writes with Him reward perfect one for her kindness. If he wants to do evil, then he does it, Allah writes a bad course. [HR. Bukhari, no. 6491; Muslim, no. 131]
GOODWILL IN THE BADS
Passing desire in their hearts to do evil yet written sin by Allah. But if the desire is already a determination and intention, let alone been attempted, although not happen, then the perpetrators have gotten a reply from it. In this regard the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam said:
إذا التقى المسلمان بسيفيهما فالقاتل والمقتول في النار فقلت يا رسول الله هذا القاتل فما بال المقتول قال إنه كان حريصا على قتل صاحبه
If two Muslims meet with their sword (fight, fight), then the murderer and the murdered man in Hell. I (Abu Bakroh) asked: “O Messenger, the killer (we understand-important life), but what about the people who were killed. He replied: “Verily, he is also desperate to kill his friend’s”. [HR. Bukhari, no. 31, 7083; Muslim, no. 2888; from Abu Bakroh]
In another hadith, the Messenger sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam warned of dangers of bad intentions on the relationship between servant. He also said:
أيما رجل يدين دينا وهو مجمع أن لا يوفيه إياه لقي الله سارقا
Anyone in debt with no intention to pay the debt to the owner, he will meet Allah as a thief. [HR. Ibn Majah, no. 2410; Shaikh Al-Albani said: Hasan Shohih "]
Reward and punishment BECAUSE Intention
Intentions are very important position can also be seen from the result it produces. Namely that the mere intention, someone has to get the reward or punishment. This diberitakanoleh Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam in the following hadith:
عن أبي كبشة الأنماري أنه سمع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: إنما الدنيا لأربعة نفر: عبد رزقه الله مالا وعلما فهو يتقي فيه ربه ويصل فيه رحمه ويعلم لله فيه حقا فهذا بأفضل المنازل وعبد رزقه الله علما ولم يرزقه مالا فهو صادق النية يقول لو أن لي مالا لعملت بعمل فلان فهو بنيته فأجرهما سواء وعبد رزقه الله مالا ولم يرزقه علما فهو يخبط في ماله بغير علم لا يتقي فيه ربه ولا يصل فيه رحمه ولا يعلم لله فيه حقا فهذا بأخبث المنازل وعبد لم يرزقه الله مالا ولا علما فهو يقول لو أن لي مالا لعملت فيه بعمل فلان فهو بنيته فوزرهما سواء
From Abu Al-Anmari Kabsyah rodhiyallohu ‘anhu, that he heard Rasululloh sholallohu’ alaihi wassallam said: “Verily, the world is for 4 people: Servant of Allah rizqi give him a property (from street kosher) and science (Islam), then he devoted to Robbnya on rizqi that (wealth and knowledge), he do good to their relatives with rizqinya, and he knows the right of Allah to him. And the servant is in the foremost position (on the side of Allah). Servant of Allah rizqi give him a science, but he did not give rizqi form of wealth, he has good intentions. He said: “If I have a treasure I will do such deeds Si Fulan (the first person to do good in it).” So he (rewarded) with intentions (good), the reward both of them (the first and second) is the same. Servant of Allah rizqi give him a treasure, but he did not give him rizqi form of science, then he carelessly do with his property with no science. He is not devoted to Robbnya him, he did not do good to his relatives with his property, and he did not know the right of Allah to him. And the servant is in the worst position (on the side of Allah). Servant of Allah did not give him a property rizqi and science, then he said: “If I have a treasure I will do such deeds Si So and so (with a third person to do evil that)”. So he (rewarded) with intent, they are the same sin.
(Hadith History Shohih Tirmidhi, no: 2325; Ahmad 4/230-231, no: 17 570; Ibn Majah, no: 4228; and others. Dishohihkan Shaykh al-Albani in Sunan Shohih Ibni Majah, no: 3406 and Sheikh Salim Al -Hilali in Sharh Riyadh Nazhirin Bahjatun Sholihin 1/607-609, no: 557; See also: Al-Science Syarafuhu Fadhluhu Wa, p.: 252-253)
All this information shows the importance of the position of intentions. Therefore a good Muslim is always built on top of all deeds good intentions, that is due to Allah sincerely. Similarly, a Muslim will always try to do good according to the Sunnah of the Prophet, because of this as the completeness of good intentions. Because the mere good intentions can not change the disobedience into obedience. As someone bershodaqoh with stolen money or corruption.
And please note, that the intention is not that pronounced the sentence, but the determination in the hearts of generating practice. In conclusion, let us always have a good intention, sincere in the entire practice, physical and spiritual, as well as practice it must be based on the guidance of the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam. Al-hamdulillahi robbil ‘alamiin.
