Intentions [LYRICS]
Waking up in the morning, gotta make my prayer
Am I really gonna' make it, when there is no one there?
Taking trips to the masjid (mosque), even when it's tough
Am I going for the sake of Allah? Am I showing off?
Gonna' get me the knowledge, gonna study Islam
Am I going just to build my ego? so they call me "the Man"?
Does it matter if the people respect me, when its not for Allah?
When I know anytime He can take me, without one real du'a (prayer)
Does it matter if they say I'm a big shot?
when I get no reward for my deeds
And I'm dragged on the Day of Resurrection
Cause of the folks that I wanted to please
Plus I know that Allah has the power
To raise me up in their eyes if it need be
I should always make my intentions, for my Lord, Allah completely
Chorus: Are my Intentions alright? am I doing for Allah?
When I'm looking deep, deep down inside, do I have the right niyyah?
Wearing thoubs with a kufi, kufi
Miswaks leather socks like the old days
Am I trying to follow the Prophet? or am I seeking praise?
Giving talks on Islam to people
I'd be quoting Hadith and Qur'an
Am I speaking so they like how I'm speaking? and they say I'm "the Bomb"
Donating to Islamic centers, giving money so the Deen can grow
Am I giving for the sake of Allah? or is it for show?
Many times I have found my intentions
Are not what I want them to be
I know I start on the right direction
But Shaitan starts talking to me
And I forget that without my niyyah, I'm just wasting my time
My intentions cannot bring the reward, when they're out of line
So I pray to Allah to help me, to do everything for Him only
Doesn't matter if the people despise me
Cause with Allah I can never be lonely Yah Allah, accept this niyyah
Coming from young Muslims striving to be believers
So on the day, our deeds You'll measure. Know we only did this strictly for Your pleasure, Your pleasure
Your mercy, Your ajur (reward), Your Jannah (heaven), forever and ever and ever
And reward us for those who listen
Heeded to the message, changing their condition
And know that everything up until this point I've ever written
I submit as my repentance
And if its blessings You're sending my way
I beg You hold them to the judgement day
so maybe in Jannah you can look back and say...it was a lovely day, a lovely, a lovely day, yes a lovely day
Are my intentions, alright, am I doing for Allah
When I am looking deep deep down inside, do I have the right niyyah (intention)?
Chorus
I always used to sing this when i was younger not really knowing the meaning of it, but as i listen to it today i learn the true meaning. We need to know our true intentions
everybody who is muslim u should thanks allah every second its a gift from allah to be a muslim..... tnx guys
Where my 2024 people at -------------------------->
Where my 2020 ppl at ----->
Subhanallah how the times have changed. My fellow brothers and sisters please, no matter how hard the fitna is around us stay strong and patient. By the will of Allah he will guide us.
Im so proud to be a Muslim.....
islam is probably the greatest religion because there are alot of ways to thank Allah (swt) and to go to jannah.
Deen Squad can never!
salaam im 14 and i live in toronto canada and i live in a Christian community but every one in my street respects me and i respect them to and when they have a gathering they make sure they have halal food for me and my family mashallah
Mashallah. Being honest. This and another got me to pray 5 times a today again. It actually brought me closer to my deen back in 2002. Trust me i was lost. I have always been an old skool hip hop n soul head. They spoke to me in language I understood
Tears to my eyes, Allah will make it be known on Judgement day. Allah please allow us to do it for your sake.
Still here in 2019!!❤️
Islam IS the greatest truest religion
I been listening to this ever since I was in junior kindergarten and now I am in grade five still listening to it mashallah subhannallah may god lead u to Jannah al fardodsa
Still here 2020 my marj loved this song
remember this back in the day mashaallah
This takes me back and it still hits as a great reminder. Heard it first during my Sunday school days as a young teenager, and I’m 30 now. Incredible to see all the comments of similar experiences
Mashallah and Ramadan Karim to all my brothers and sisters out there
I really love NATIVE DEEN for every thing they are doing for the sake of Islam
may god bless them were ever they are
and join us with them in jannatul al ferdous
I bear witness their is no God but God(Allah) and Muhammad(pbuh) is the final messenger.
May we the youth of this Ummah never forget this.
