Intentions for the speech

The final Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم 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:

*     I will sit in a respectful manner.

*     I will not be lazy or inattentive during the speech.

*     I will listen to the speech to reform and better myself.

*     Whatever I hear and learn, I will try to convey to others.
