How amazing is the basis of our Deen and its teachings! – “Actions are according to intentions, and everyone will get what was intended” (Bukhari & Muslim). This applies to each and every phase of our life, be it the case of worship, good deeds, talks, work, interaction, dressing, gaze... anything and everything which concerns the life of a human is solely based on his intention. And the matter of intention is not between us and any other human being, but between us and Allah (سبحانه و تعالى). So none other than us and Allah truly knows why we are doing something and what exactly are we doing, though to some extent, we’ll have to explain to others based on situation.
Just like any other case, approaching our scriptures – Quran and Hadith also need a good intention. If we are approaching Quran intending guidance, peace and rewards from Allah (سبحانه و تعالى), it’s an established fact that Quran will give us guidance and peace, by the will of Allah (سبحانه و تعالى). But if we approach Quran or Hadith with an intention of justifying our actions or finding fault with others’, or for getting some popularity or questioning a faith or any other similar intention, the scriptures might give us what we’ve intended. But we’ll never find peace and guidance. Not only that, we’ll soon get detached from these scriptures after fulfilling our ‘so called’ ill-needs.
On the other hand, the true attachment with Quran and Hadith is never-ending and if Allah (سبحانه و تعالى ) wills, our love for it’s supposed to increase day by day, and the peace it gives is incomparable and the guidance is unique.
Let’s all try to approach Quran and Sunnah with ideal intentions and May Allah (سبحانه و تعالى )bestow the best of HIS blessings on us and Guide us to the straight path and help us to be steadfast in the right path. (Ameen)
