### **ﷺ حَدِيثُ الْيَوْمِ** > **إِنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى** > **“Verily, deeds are judged by intentions, and every person will have only what they intended.”** > **— Sahih al-Bukhari 1**

### **💎 Core Message** **1️⃣ Striving Precedes Guidance** – Allah promises divine guidance not to those who wait passively, but to those who actively strive (jihād) in His path—whether through learning, worship, or righteous action. **2️⃣ Intention Transforms Action** – The same outward deed can be either mundane or worship, worldly or eternal—all based on the purity and purpose behind it. **3️⃣ Divine Companionship for the Sincere** – When we strive with excellence (iḥsān) in our intentions and actions, Allah aligns Himself with our journey.
