Dear Islamic brothers! Before listening to the Bayan, let’s make good intentions for attaining Divine pleasure and earning rewards. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى 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 pleasing those who make Sada [call out] loudly.

4. After the Bayan, I will approach people to say Salaam, shake hands and to make individual efforts upon them.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Greed is one of the bad habits. A greedy person becomes the slave of Nafs and always goes astray, whereas a contented person is privileged to express thanks to Allah Almighty. If a desire of a greedy person is not fulfilled, he starts making complaints, whereas contentment becomes a sign of a person’s great courage, great thought, eminence, piety and patience.
