INTENTION/IRADAH AND ACTION/AMAAL
The purification of the heart is so important that Allah has placed it before the Dhikr and Salah, as He says Indeed, only he who is purified (from the afflictions of his ill-commanding self and pollution of sins) will triumph, And the one who remembers the Name of his Lord and offers Prayers (regularly and abundantly).87/14-15.
Allah will not hold you accountable for your vain oaths, but will take you to task for the oaths taken with serious intention in your hearts. And Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Forbearing.2/225
“Verily actions are by intentions, and for every person is what he intended………”(hadith)

Spiritual purification of the self is the essence of Islamic teachings. Surrender to a good sufi shaik.
Purification of self is done with obligatory prayers, darood o salaam, repentance, glorification of allah’s names, reading quran, daily wird/zikr , sacrifice of wealth and talent, suppression of carnal desires, fighting for defence of religion and evil forces, assisting the oppressed against the oppressor etc.
Correct understanding of religion is by knowledge and righteous actions.
Inner peace and purity is paralleled by peace with allah.
True health (spiritual health) is totally dependant upon the heart’s being free and clear of anything ‘other’ than Allah, Purity, Absolute Truth.
Surrender brings peace of mind. Peace of mind allows the heart to open. If some spiritual condition occurs in your heart or some amazing knowledge enters the heart, don’t get excited our aim is to gain allah’s raza/pleasure (ignore the fantacies) have trust in Allah and present your needs to Him only.
The action is not acceptable except by three: taqwa of Allah, and good intention, and correctness (i.e. conformity to the Sunnah).
Action is only accepted when it is both sincere and correct. it is sincere when it is for the sake of Allah, and correct when it is done according to the Sunnah.
(Muslim’s whole life should be an act of worship (combine both shariat and tariqat for best ibadah)

Actions must be filled with love to gain allah’s raza and his qurb (nearness).
Do all your day to day work/actions perfectly meaning achieve the state of perfection (ihsan).
Live the kalima/shahada way(always think allah is watching me).
Hearts are blind without marifat.
