Dear Islamic brothers! Before listening to the Bayan, let’s make good intentions for attaining rewards and pleasing Allah. The Beloved Rasoolصَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘نِيَّةُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ عَمَلِهٖ’ The intention of a Muslim is better than his deed.

(Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 6, pp. 185, Hadees 5942)

For righteous and permissible work the more we make good intentions, the more we attain reward.

Intentions of listening to Bayan

1. Lowering my eyes, I will listen to the Bayan attentively.

2. Instead of resting against a wall etc., I will sit in Attahiyyaat position as long as possible with the intention of showing respect for religious knowledge.

3. When I hear صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب, اُذۡكُرُوا اللّٰه, تُوۡبُوۡا اِلَي اللّٰه, etc., I will reply loudly with the intention of gaining reward and encouraging others to also recite.

4. After the Ijtima’, I will approach other people by making Salam, shaking hands, and for making individual efforts upon them.

صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد                      صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب

Dear Islamic brothers! Surely, every wise person knows it well that cleanliness increases the dignity of a human, whereas filthiness decreases human’s respect and dignity. Islam has not only given respect to humans by purifying them from the filthiness of disbelief and Shirk [attributing partners to Allah], it has also elevated the dignity of mankind by apparent purity and the great teachings of cleanliness. Anyhow whether it is purity of body or cleanliness of clothes, improvement of homes and furniture and fittings or washing of conveyance (automobiles), in short, Islam has taught and persuaded us to keep everything neat and clean.
