from among the messengers, on a straight path. [This is] a revelation of the
Almighty, the Merciful, that you may warn a people whose forefathers were not
warned, so they are unaware. Already the word has come into effect upon most of
them, so they do not believe. Indeed, We have put shackles on their necks, and they
are up to their chins, so they are with heads aloft. And We have put before them a
barrier and behind them a barrier and covered them, so they do not see."

Rules of Madd:

Madd in Arabic means "extension" or "elongation." In the recitation of the Quran,

Madd refers to the prolongation of certain sounds, and it is an important rule in
Tajweed (Quranic recitation). There are two main types of Madd:

1. Original Madd (Madd Asli):

Also referred to as Natural Madd, Permanent Madd, or Existing Madd.

This type of Madd occurs naturally in the recitation without the need for
additional rules or causes.

It has four primary forms:

a. Madd Al Badal (Madd of Substitution):

Occurs when a Hamza (‫ )ء‬precedes a letter of Madd (Alif, Waw, or
Ya).
b. Madd Iwad (Madd of Compensation):
This occurs at the end of a sentence or word, where a tanween
(double vowel) is followed by a letter of Madd and is replaced by an
elongated sound.
c. Madd Tabii Harfi (Natural Madd in Abbreviated Letters):
This Madd occurs in certain abbreviated letters found at the
beginning of some Surahs (e.g., Alif-Lam-Meem). When these
letters contain a Madd letter, it is elongated naturally.
d. Madd Silah Sughra (The Lesser Connecting Madd):
This occurs when a pronoun (‫ )ضمير‬that ends with a "ha" (‫ )هـ‬is
followed by a vowel. The Madd here is lesser in duration compared
to other types.

Q:Define Madd and state how many types of Madd are there.

Madd refers to the elongation or stretching of vowel sounds in the recitation of the
Quran. There are two main types of Madd:

1. Madd Asli (Original Madd) – This is a basic elongation of one of the three
Madd letters (‫ ي‬,‫ و‬,‫ )ا‬and is extended by two counts.
2. Madd Far’i (Secondary Madd) – This occurs due to certain reasons, such as
a hamzah or sukoon, and can be extended longer than the original Madd.

Unit: 1 lesson 3: Actions Are Judged by Intentions (Hadith: ‫إنما‬

‫)األعمال بالنيات‬
The concept of intentions in Islam is central to the moral and spiritual life of a
Muslim. It is derived from the famous hadith narrated by Umar ibn Al-Khattab (RA),
in which the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said:
“Actions are judged by intentions, and each person will receive according
to what he intended.”
(Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)
Key Points on Intentions (Niyyah):
1. Significance of Intention:
o In Islam, the value of an action is not solely based on the outward form or
appearance but is deeply rooted in the intention behind the action.
o Intentions separate mere habits or mundane activities from acts of
worship or good deeds. Even acts like eating, sleeping, and working can
become acts of worship when done with the right intention, such as
seeking Allah’s pleasure.
2. Types of Intentions:
o Pure Intention for Allah’s Pleasure: The most valued intention is to
perform actions solely for the sake of Allah (SWT). This means that even
if an action appears good externally, it holds no value if the intention is
corrupt (e.g., showing off, seeking fame).
o Worldly or Materialistic Intentions: If a person performs an action for
worldly gains or recognition, their reward will be limited to that world and
they will not receive spiritual rewards in the Hereafter.
3. Application of the Hadith:
o Acts of Worship: Before performing any act of worship (e.g., prayer,
fasting, charity), one should consciously make the intention to do it for
the sake of Allah.
o Good Deeds: Even helping others, smiling, or greeting someone can be
considered as a good deed, depending on the intention behind it.
o Correcting Intentions: Muslims are encouraged to frequently check
and renew their intentions to ensure that their actions are for Allah’s
pleasure.
4. Impact of Intention on Reward:
o The reward of an action is directly linked to the sincerity of one’s
intention. A small act done sincerely for Allah’s sake can hold great
 reward, while a seemingly great act done for the wrong reasons may be
worthless.
o Example: A person may give charity publicly but with the intention of
showing off. Although the action itself is good, the intention corrupts the
reward.
5. Intentions in Daily Life:
o Intentions in Worship: When performing acts of worship, it is crucial to
have the right intention. For example, a person should pray for the sake
of pleasing Allah, not for public praise.
o Intentions in Mundane Activities: Everyday tasks such as working,
eating, or even resting can become acts of worship if done with the
intention of seeking strength or resources to better serve Allah.
6. Consequences of Wrong Intentions:
o If a person’s intention is to gain the approval of others or material
rewards, they will not receive the spiritual benefit or reward from Allah.
Their action is considered hollow, even if it appears righteous outwardly.
o Example: Someone who seeks praise for their acts of kindness or charity
may achieve their goal in this world but will not gain rewards in the
Hereafter.
Practical Lessons from the Hadith:
 Sincerity is Key: Always strive to purify your intentions, whether in acts of
worship, interactions with others, or personal endeavors.
 Intentions Elevate Ordinary Actions: Simple daily actions can become a
source of reward if done with the intention of seeking Allah’s pleasure.
 Mindfulness: Constantly evaluate your intentions before starting any action.
This helps in cultivating sincerity and aligning one’s actions with the goal of
pleasing Allah.
Read the Hadiths :
، ‫ "ِإَّنَما اَأْلْعَماُل ِبالِّنَّياِت‬: ‫ َس ِمْعُت َر ُس وَل الَّلِه صلى الله عليه وسلم َيُقوُل‬: ‫َعْن ُعَمَر ْبِن اْلَخ َّطاِب َر ِضَي الَّلُه َعْنُه َقاَل‬
‫َأ‬ ‫َأ‬
‫ ِو اْمَر ٍة‬،‫ َوَمْن َهاَج َر ِلُدْنَيا ُيِصيُبَها‬.‫ َفِهْج َر ُتُه ِإَلى الَّلِه َوَر ُس وِلِه‬،‫ َفَمْن َهاَج َر ِللِه َوِلَر ُس وِلِه‬.‫َوِإَّنَما ِلُكِّل اْمِرٍئ َما َنَوى‬
]‫" [رواه البخاري ومسلم‬.‫ َفِهْج َر ُتُه ِإَلى َما َهاَج َر ِإَلْيِه‬،‫َيْنِكُح َها‬
Omar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said: I heard the Messenger of
Allah, peace be upon him, saying: “Acts are judged only by intentions and a man will
have intended. When emigration is to ALLAH and his messenger, his emigration is to
ALLAH and his messenger. But when one’s emigration is to a worldly end at which he
aims or to a woman whom he marries, his emigration is to that for which he
emigrated.”[Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

1. Who is the narrator and reporter of this hadith?

Answer:
The narrator of this hadith is Umar bin Al-Khattab (RA), one of the close companions
of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and it has been reported by both Al-Bukhari and
Muslim.

2. According to the hadith, which acts are accepted and rewarded by Allah?

Answer:
According to the hadith, the acts that are accepted and rewarded by Allah are those
done with sincere intentions for His sake. Actions performed with pure intentions,
aiming to please Allah and follow His commandments, will be rewarded. However, if
actions are done with worldly or selfish intentions, they will not hold the same value
in the sight of Allah.

3. Ahmed is keen on performing prayers at the mosque to make his mother

happy. Will he get rewards? Why or why not?

Answer:
Ahmed may not receive full rewards for his prayers if his primary intention is to make
his mother happy rather than seeking the pleasure of Allah. According to the hadith,
actions are judged by their intentions, and if his intention is not to please Allah but to
satisfy a worldly purpose, such as making his mother happy, the act will not be
rewarded in the same way as an act done purely for Allah’s sake.

4. How would you explain the central theme of the Hadith?

Answer:
The central theme of this hadith is the importance of intention behind every action. It
emphasizes that the true value of any deed depends on the intention behind it.
Actions done for the sake of Allah and with sincerity will be rewarded, but if the
intention is worldly, the reward will be limited to worldly gains. This hadith teaches
the importance of purity of intention in all acts of worship and daily life.

Vocabulary of the hadith :

1. ‫َس ِم ْعُت‬: I heard.

2. ‫ُيِص يُبَه ا‬: To achieve it.
3. ‫َم ا َنَو ى‬: What he intended.
4. ‫ِلُكِّل اْم ِر ٍئ‬: For every person.
5. ‫ِلُدْنَيا‬: For worldly gains.

Explain the concept of sincerity in Islam.

In Islam, sincerity (Ikhlas) refers to performing actions solely for the sake of
Allah, without seeking recognition, praise, or any worldly gain. It means
purifying one’s intentions in all acts of worship and good deeds. Sincerity
 ensures that actions are done purely out of devotion and submission to Allah,
and it is essential for the acceptance of deeds.

Describe the positive effects of sincerity on individuals and society.

Sincerity fosters inner peace and contentment in individuals as they focus on

pleasing Allah rather than seeking validation from others. It leads to stronger faith,
ethical behavior, and integrity. In society, sincerity builds trust, fosters unity, and
encourages people to act with honesty and fairness, contributing to a harmonious
and just community.

Unit 1 Lesson 5: Good Earnings:

According to Abu Hurayrah (ra):
Prophet Mohamed‫ ﷺ‬said, “Allah the Almighty is Good and accepts only that which is
good. And verily Allah has commanded the believers to do that which He has
commanded the Messengers. So the Almighty has said: “O (you) Messengers! Eat of
the tayyibat [all kinds of halal (legal) foods], and perform righteous deeds.” [23:51]
and the Almighty has said: “O you who believe! Eat of the lawful things that we have
provided you.” [2:172]” Then he ‫ﷺ‬mentioned [the case] of a man who, having
journeyed far, is disheveled and dusty, and who spreads out his hands to the sky
saying “O Lord! O Lord!” while his food is haram (unlawful), his drink is haram, his
clothing is haram, and he has been nourished with haram, so how can [his
supplication] be answered? [Muslim]
Question No 1: Write the significance of following Qur’anic verse?
Answer: Allah (SWT) has perfect attributes. He is Sublime. Allah (SWT) said: “And to
Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them.” Therefore, He accepts from
His servants only what is pure and good. He accepts only saying and deeds that are
good and done purely for His sake. Allah (SWT) said, To Him ascends good speech,
and He described believers as good and pure.” “The ones whom the angels take in
death, being good and pure.”
A true believer is good and pure in his heart, speech, body, deed and money. Allah
accepts only that which is good.

Question No 2: Write the significance of the following Qur’anic Verse:

‫َأْل‬
‫ُه َو اَّلِذي َجَعَل َلُكُم ا ْر َض َذُلواًل َف اْم ُش وا ِف ي َم َناِكِبَه ا َو ُكُلوا ِم نِّر ْز ِقِهۖ ۖ َو ِإَلْيِه الُّنُش وُر‬
Answer: Allah (SWT) wants his servants to follow the lead of Messengers (Peace be
upon them), by working to earn money and benefit from good things. Halal and pure
work whether little or big is deemed an honor and a source of pride for man. It
protects man from the humility of poverty, begging, laziness, unemployment and
corruption. It improves the life, psychology, family and deeds of a Muslim and
promotes his status in this world and in the Hereafter.

Question No 3: What is the Significance of Hadith: “Supplication is

worship.”
Supplication is worship as it involves humility and submission to Allah and
surrendering everything to him in good and bad times.
‫َذا َأَلَك ِعا يَعيَف يَقي ُأ‬
‫ِرٌبۖ ِجيُب َدْعَوَة الَّداِع ِإَذاَدَعاِن‬
ۖ ‫َوِإ َس َبِد ِّن ِإِّن‬
“When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to
the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me.”
Ensuring that one’s food comes from good (halal) sources, the Prophet (SAW) stated
that a response was unlikely for one who eats, drinks and wears haram things. In the
hadeeth it says: [The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)] mentioned
the man who undertakes a lengthy journey and is disheveled and covered with dust,
and he stretches his hands towards heaven saying, ‘O Lord, O Lord,’ when his food is
haram, his drink is haram, his clothes are haram. He is nourished with haram, so how
can he be granted a response? Narrated by Muslim, 1015.
Thus eating haram things saps the strength of the du’a and weakens it.

Question : Write THREE supplication verses in the Holy Qur’an that have
the word “O LORD.”
Answer:
‫َر َّبَنا آِتَنا ِفي الُّدْنَيا َح َس َنًة َوِفي اآلِخ َر ِة َح َس َنًة َوِقَنا َعَذاَب الَّنار‬
Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil Aakhirati hasanatan waqina 'adhaban-nar
Our Lord! Grant us good in this world and good in the hereafter, and save us from the
chastisement of the fire [2:201]

ُ‫َر َّبَنا َتَقَّبْل ِمَّنا ِإَّنَك َأْنَت الَّس ِميُع الَعِليم‬

Rabbana taqabbal minna innaka antas Sameeaul Aleem
Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us: For Thou art the All-Hearing, the All-knowing
[2:127]

‫َأ‬
‫َر َّبَنا َظَلْمَنا نُفَس َنا َوِإن َّلْم َتْغِفْر َلَنا َوَتْر َح ْمَنا َلَنُكوَنَّن ِمَن اْلَخاِس ِريَن‬
1.
Rabbana zalamna anfusina wa il lam taghfir lana wa tarhamna lanakoonanna
minal khaasireen
Our Lord! We have wronged our own souls: If thou forgive us not and bestow
not upon us Thy Mercy, we shall certainly be lost [7:23]

2. Good Earnings in Islam:

o Good earnings in Islam are those obtained through lawful (Halal) means,
reflecting honesty and fairness.
o They are essential for a peaceful and prosperous society, as they
promote justice, contentment, and mutual respect.
3. Prayer with Sincerity:
o Performing prayers to show off in front of others is considered a form of
hypocrisy (Riya’), which is condemned in Islam.
o Sincere worship is performed with the intention of seeking Allah’s
pleasure alone, whether in private or public.
4. Hadith on Good Earnings:
 A Hadith states: "The best earning is that which is earned by a man's own
hands, and from a permissible source." (Sahih Bukhari)
 This emphasizes the importance of earning through honest and lawful means.

Q: Why is ‘Haram’ earning harmful to our society? And write its negative
effects.

Haram earning, which refers to income obtained through prohibited means like fraud,
theft, gambling, or interest (riba), is harmful to society because it spreads corruption,
dishonesty, and inequality. It weakens social bonds, erodes trust, and promotes
exploitation. Negative effects include the deterioration of moral values, increased
crime rates, and the overall instability of the economy, leading to a lack of blessings
in wealth and peace in life.
Q:Write the significance of the Hadith: “Supplication is worship.” Give the
reasons for the acceptance of supplications.

The hadith "Supplication is worship" emphasizes that making du'a (supplication) is a

core aspect of worship in Islam, as it shows reliance and trust in Allah. It is a means
of communicating with Allah and expressing one's needs and gratitude. Reasons for
the acceptance of supplications include sincerity, patience, lawful (halal) earnings,
and making du'a with firm belief that Allah will respond, while also accepting that
Allah may answer in different ways, according to His wisdom.

Q:How will you analyze the significance of good earnings in Islam?

Good earnings, or halal earnings, are highly emphasized in Islam as they contribute
to the well-being of both individuals and society. Halal income earned through lawful
and honest means brings blessings, peace of mind, and divine reward. It ensures that
wealth is used ethically, supports the family, and helps in charitable activities. Islam
teaches that earning a livelihood through permissible means is a form of worship, as
long as it adheres to ethical principles and avoids harm.

Q: Write down one hadith on good earnings.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:

"Nobody has ever eaten a better meal than that which one has earned by working
with one’s own hands. The Prophet of Allah, David, used to eat from the earnings of
his manual labor."
(Sahih al-Bukhari)

This hadith highlights the value of earning through lawful and honest work, stressing
that self-reliance and effort are praiseworthy.
