The Importance of Niyyah
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Actions are according to intentions, and everyone will get what was intended." (Sahih Bukhari).
The Niyyah (Intention) is the foundation of every act of worship in Islam. Whether it is Salah (prayer), Wudu (ablution), or Sawm (fasting), a clear intention distinguishes a religious act from a mundane habit. While the intention resides in the heart, many scholars recommend verbalizing it to help focus the mind. Use this guide to learn the standard Arabic phrases for common intentions.
