Intentions for listening to the speech

The final Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہِ واٰلہٖ وَسَلَّمَ has stated, اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ – “A truthful intention is the best action.”^[2] O those who love Allah’s Messenger! Make good intentions before every action, as this can be a means of entering Paradise. Before listening to this speech, make good intentions. For example:

1.   You will listen to the entire speech to gain knowledge of Islam.

2.   You will sit in a respectful manner.

3.   You will not be lazy or inattentive during the speech.

4.   You will listen to the speech to reform yourself.

5.   Whatever you hear and learn, you will try to convey it to others.
