A well-known saying of the prophet PBUH is: "Innamal-'amaalo binniyaat"
All actions (will be judged ) by the intentions (with which they are performed).
I was talking about the Muslim Wedding. A small experience of a Jewish wedding for you.
I was to wait for the performance of Islamic sermon for the Muslim boy and the Jewish girl because in the jewish ceremonies the first was like this:
The groom and the bride stand before the Rabbi and "declare their intention" to enter into the wedlock.
I thought that was very interesting and then I started my khutba where I mentioned about this similarity (with Jewish custom) of all Islamic acts of worship (including getting married) must have an intention (albiet in the heart or sometimes say in it words (like we do for salat and fasting).
Intention is most apparant in the fasting for obvious reasons.
We dont usually realise the importance of all the instructions we have and the guidance we have been given through Muhammad PBUH, the greatest teacher, by the most merciful God. Yes we would be lost without it. How can we thank Him enough

abboo are you blogging on your vacation?? :D
hope you are having fun inshallah! yes, you are right about intentions... sometimes it's hard even to be honest with oneself about why you are doing something, which is why it is so important to be aware and to MAKE your intention, so to speak...
As a *HUMAN* not a humanoid or animal any think you do is a decided in your mind what you want to do is called intention,either it be stealing drinking,smoking,or any vice by any set of any religion or any school of thought.In fact you don't need a preist,rabai or moulvi for that to happen.
Saugoree uncle,
Please let "JAG" know, I am putting link of his post to my blog regarding Ali (Written May 18)...
(What a smart man he is !, I wish he blogs more)
Sougoree Bhai,I asked JAG for your blogging site.It is pleasure to read your blog,your thoughts,pession and extensive all-round knowledge of about every thing.You are a teacher,a father figure,a big brother,an uncle,an advisor and lot of things to lot of people of any gender,any religious background and yes to atheist too.Yes lot of us have lot of questions, need lot of advise and bless to have you to fall back.Keep up the good work.
Oddthinker, Mystic and 'annonymous'
I thank you for the comments and encouragements.
Yes , you dont NEED an rabbi/maulovi/priest for "intention" but It is important to have the intention for good deeds, for example:
you 'fast', if it is to lose weight, you lose weight
if it is to join a group of 'fasters', you join in
if it is to please your God , you please God
if it is to show off your religiousness, you get the same inreturn.
Maybe that in this way it can be judged what is meant by "intention"
Of course when you steal you have definite intention or purpose, that you fill your 'need' and it is filled as long as you are not caught.
Being fathers day I talked with JAG today, I will remind him about your thoughts on Ali.
Yes I have told him to blog more but has been busy more lately and soon hopfully he can start getting more time, as I pray for him
May God bless you all, I shall continue my thoughts IA
