Sunnahs and etiquettes related to intentions

Dear Islamic brothers, let us listen to some Sunnahs and etiquettes concerning intentions. First, let us listen to two narrations of the Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم :

1.   اِنَّمَا الاَعْمَالُ بِالنِّیَّاتThe reward of deeds depends upon the intention.^[1]

2.   نِیَّۃُ الْمُؤْمِنِ خَیْرٌ مِّنْ عَمَلِہٖ The intention of a believer is better than his action.^[2]

*   More than one intention can be made for a permissible action.^[3]

*   You will not attain reward for a righteous deed if a good intention is not made.^[4]

*   Having a good intention when performing a good act means for the heart to be focused on the good action and for the action to be performed for the pleasure of Allah.^[5]

*   An intention is the will of the heart. When the intention is present in the heart, it is good to say it out aloud too.^[6]
