If you reflect on this question, your intentions will be good?

Question

The person who has a sincere intention is the one who has a sound heart; because a sound heart, free from thoughts about forbidden things, comes from making your intention purely for Allah in all matters.

The day on which neither property will avail, nor sons, except him who comes to Allah with a heart free [from evil]. (26:88-9)

The Holy Prophet said, 'The intention of the believer is better than his action,' and also, 'Actions are by intentions, and every man will obtain what he had intended.' The slave of Allah must therefore have sincere intention in every moment of action and stillness because then he will not be heedless. Those who are heedless have been censured by Allah:

They are nothing but as cattle; nay, they are straying farther off from the path. (25:44)

These are the heedless ones. (7:179)

Intention appears from the heart, according to the purity of knowledge. It varies as belief varies, at different moments in its strength and weakness. The selfishness and passion of those with sincere intention is subjugated to the power of the glorification of Allah and modesty before Him. He is by his nature, his appetites and his own desires, in a state of discomfort, and yet people find ease at his hand.

gjkishere how is talking about intentions is converting

Ray tell them im not trying to convert anyone help a friend

Rules Islam is all about intentions

This is the favour of allah on islam, christians do not have these rules, nor does god excepts these rules from them, i will give you an example: If a muslim thinks of something good to do but dies God will reward him as if he did it. If you are a christian and you intend to do something good but do not get to do it, it is just nile in the eyes of God. Even christians agree, God bless you sister

But do not think that the christian or Jew or Atheist good action do not count that is haram a sin.

You cannot hide your true intentions from God

Nomadic You do not have to believe in a religion or God to have good intentions

Answer 2

I am a Muslim but I think your kind of not right.. what of an Atheists who does some thing good to help another person? his intentions are good but not for God..

and FYI selfishness is a human trait.... All Muslims can also be called selfish if a situation arises where a Muslim person has an opportunity to save lets say 5 people or to save him/her self . surly the person should have saved more people........ but its not likely that that person would sacrifice him/her self for others....... its human nature, survival of the fittest.

John Lockes believed that Humans are a product of there environment and in todays environment where you have to fight and fight hard to be number one, I don't think heroes exists.


EDIT::: True Islam is all about intentions but I can sit here and intent that I am going to give a poor man $1 million but that does not mean I am doing a good deed, because most people's intentions are good and intentions do not talk louder then words....

Answer 3

The slave of Allah...

Its interesting that Muhammed preached that people had to become the slaves of Allah. Seeing as how Muhammed was supposedly speaking for Allah, that would mean that all of the people that eventually were converted to Islam would, in effect, be the slaves of Muhammed!

Geez! What a racket!

...and to answer BBoyBaller112's question
"Very little people knew how to read and write back then how is it that the story of Jesus Christ and the prophecies fit hand in hand?"

That's easy! Jesus supposedly fulfilled so many of those "prophecies" because the people who made up the stories about him did it on purpose! Sadly, those people, especially Matthew, really sucked at interpreting OT scripture. Most of the "prophecies" Jesus fulfilled weren't even actually prophecies!

Moreover, some of the supposedly fulfilled prophecies were completely misunderstood by the Jesus-story-writers. They actually made up a town that didn't exist named Nazareth so that Jesus could be called a Nazarene.

Matt 2:23
23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets: "He will be called a Nazarene."

This verse in Matthew is apparently referencing this OT verse:
Judges 13:5
Because you will conceive and give birth to a son. No razor may be used on his head, because the boy is to be a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel...

But in the OT, Nazarites are NOT people from a town named Nazareth! Nazarites were a sect of mystics that didn't cut their hair or drink wine. Look it up! Numbers 6

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=4&chapter=6&version=72

This is why people think Jesus had long hair! It was a rather pathetic screw-up by Matthew trying to force one more "prophecy-fulfillment" into the Jesus myth he was writing!

Its no wonder that so few Jews converted to Christianity! The Jews knew what a horrible hack-job the New Testament did on the Old Testament. Only the gentiles were ignorant enough about the Jewish scriptures to actually swallow the ridiculous "prophecy-fulfillment" claims.

By the way, the nazarite prophecy that Matthew was trying to apply to his Jesus story was actually about Samson.

Answer 4

I don't know if I can answer this very co-coherently right now.

I understand that an intention is the under-lying source of all action...if the intention is good....the result is good.

To intend harm on another may appear to be a generous action, when in fact the generosity was a facade to persuade another to your view point.

Honesty in intent....actions, regardless of their confusion....bring about the desired intent.

A Wolf in Sheep's clothing....kind of thing??

Did I understand this? I don't know?

Answer 5

Christ saved me from my sin, God accepts me for who i am I am nothing more than just a man given power by God JEsus Christ. Muslims along with catholics are still trying to reach heaven. What they don't understand is heaven came down for us already just reach out and grab him because him is Christ. There are documents talking about a man who would come. And prophecied his entire life. All miracles how he will be born how he will die why he will die. Over 300 prophecies were given about 1 man. Just to complete 4 of the at least 300 in 1 in a 3 millionth of a chance. Jesus Christ completed all of them. in only 33 or so years. The gap between the old testament and new testament is 400 years. Very little people knew how to read and write back then how is it that the story of Jesus Christ and the prophecies fit hand in hand?

Answer 6

When the only way to heaven is by your works or deeds or keeping your thoughts pure how do you ever have peace or know that you have done enough? We are all sinners since Adam and Eve when sin entered the world. Jesus Christ died to set you free from your sin so you can have an everlasting relationship with Him. God loves you that much that He will let you have peace on the Earth as well as in Heaven no matter what is going on around you.

Answer 7

If I won't convert or believe what Christians want me to believe, what makes you think I would convert for what you want me to believe?Don't condescend people or their own beliefs.

Answer 8

This is what almost all religions teach except you are using your own scriptures and calling your God by a different name.

Answer 9

You seem unable to tell the difference between your beliefs and the objective truth.

Answer 10

to each his own my friend to each his own
