ILM-HIDAYAT-NIYYAT
Ilm means hidayat/guidance
Hidayat means to seek Allah (qurb) (always start with bismillah for barakah/blessings)s
Niyyat means to please Allah (raza)
Hidayat /guidance =gift from Allah, gives good results, fruit of knowledge
If you work for Allah’s deen –Allah will work for you (his creation works for you)
Good amaal/deeds attack nafs (makes it weak) and protects ilm/knowledge.
Ilm+amal= nature (personality)
Amal with sidq/iqlas becomes noor (exposed to celestial world)
Kaifiyat e qalb=haal /state of heart
Maqam =station of heart
Barakah depends on niyyat/intention not on amal/deed
Advice /nasihat= ilm e deen + kidmat e deen (learn from ahle sunnat wal jamaat scholars and sufi shaiks of various tariqas)
Sufi shaik’s are soft hearted/sakhi (good ahklaq)
Never fight for personal reasons(nafs), fight for Allah’s and his rasool’sﷺ pleasure.
Niyyat decides approved/disapproved amal or good deed/bad deed.
Niyyat =sidq e qalb
Niyyat =no duniya when dealing creation (for gaining raza/pleasure of Allah)
Niyyat = no I/SELF/EGO/NAFS when dealing with Allah (for the sake of Allah)
Blessings depend on niyyat (don’t keep creation/amal in your mind/sight just keep sight on Allah ,he is watching you)
Intention/niyyat(sincere to Allah AND to seek his pleasure)
It differentiate worship of Allah alone (tawheed) from worship of something along with Allah(shirk)
It differentiate between worshiping Allah correctly and worshipping him incorrectly or not at all.
If the intention is good ,the result will be good AND if the intention Is bad ,the result will be bad.
2 people may do the same deed, but the result may be different based on intention (rewarded/punished).
Rewarded =if done for Allah’s pleasure/sincerely for his sake.
Deed is converted to act of worship/ibadat based on intention.
Permissible deeds into acts of obedience to Allah.
People with marifat/truly knowing Allah routine deeds of life become acts of worship/ibadat.
Those without marifat/iqlas e niyyat ritual acts of worship become routine.
