wondering… what sort of intentions should one have to read namaz or Quran?
i admit im not a regular Quran reader, something needs to upset me enuff to start reading. Recently a friend was really sick so i promised myself and Allah Mian that i’d read a page of the Quran each night after Isha (and alhamdulillah i have been)
are these intentions wrong?
hmmm
why do u think its wrong sadzzz? i dont think so...infact thats really good mashallah
i think surah maaoon has a good explanation for some wrong niyats u can have for namaz

if u intend to be on the path to Allah then its good, anything other than allah...bad
hmm irem i thought it may have been wrong, cus firstly my intention of reading the Quran wasnt entirely cus I wanted to read it.. it was only cus i thought thats the only way i could help the other person (my friend).. and to be honest, i feel Allah Mian has reallllly helped
