Assalamualaikum. ^.^
Yes, it is about ‘Niat’ or we can call it intention.
English translation :
It is
narrated on the authority of Amirul Mu'minin, Abu Hafs 'Umar bin al-Khattab,
radiyallahu 'anhu, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi
wasallam, say: "Actions are (judged) by motives (niyyah), so each man will
have what he intended. Thus, he whose migration (hijrah) was to Allah and His
Messenger, his migration is to Allah and His Messenger; but he whose migration
was for some worldly thing he might gain, or for a wife he might marry, his
migration is to that for which he migrated."
[Al-Bukhari
& Muslim]
This hadith was
said by the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, at the time when a man
emigrated from Makkah to Madinah during the Hijrah for the sake of marrying
someone (Ummu Qais) and not for the sake of Islam.

Alright.
For ibadah like solat, fasting, hajj etc, we need to have
niat to make the actions complete/sah. True or not?
Yes, true!
As we know when we do ANY actions, it is important to have
these 3 items, which is :
1. Niat
2. Verbal/orally
3. Action
And you know what, even a small little thing that we do like
eating, bathing, sleeping or whatever it is, can become SOOOOOOOO BIG for Allah
just because of NIAT! And not to forget you can add up or get extra pahala as
long as you do it LillahiTaala. As SIMPLE as that! And not only that, when you
do anything LillahiTaala, indirectly you make your bond or connections with
Allah more stronger too.
Ooohh…… I forgot to mention that anything you do because of
the sake of Allah, we can call it IBADAH! (**whisper : isn’t that
amazing?) hehe
Can you see how important it is to set our niat every single
time we do anything?!
But WAIT!!!~ when I say ANYTHING means anything that Allah
permits you to do and not something that Allah forbids you to do. Clear? (>.<)
~*~
Every single dream that we wish it comes true WILL come true
based on our niat, believe it or not. With Allah permission of course.
What we wish, Allah will grant it no matter how fast or slow
you’ll get to it!
But sometimes, Allah grant our wish with something more
better than what we wished for.
I dare to say that all of us have witnessed this hadith. Am
I right?
And I must say that you will always and always be a witness
for this hadith, whether you notice it or not.
So start from now always RE-SET back your niat (intention)
everytime you wanna do something. And before you do anything, simply ask your
ownself either you want it or you do it for the sake of Allah, for Islam and
for The Hereafter, or you want it or you do it just because of this dunya.
And this is actually to differentiate you between a true
muslim/muslimah with a good/kind-hearted regular person/muslim/muslimah.
Which one do you wanna be? Well……. you know better!
~*~
Story time.
I wanna tell you a story of one girl who had witness the
truth of this hadith.
That girl dream had come true and it all started with just a
simple niat which it sounds something like this, ‘Ya Allah I wanna come back to
Malaysia again with the new good or more better me’. She had this intention
during departure in KLIA to pursue her dream to become a doctor.
Actually she doesn’t know why she had that kind of
intention, because that intention just came out from her heart suddenly and how
she wish to change, but still doesn’t know if that wish can come true or not.
You know what, Alhamdulillah without she realized how smooth
actually her path is when Allah grant her wish not only to be a good or more
better person but to be more better muslimah too! Isn’t that great?
Yes, because Allah is The Best Planner. ;)
You know what, if you wish about something, Allah will open
the path from unexpected directions for you to reach it. (**whisper : and
with EFFORTS too, don’t forget it!!.)
……
Till we meet again, InsyaAllah. J
Assalamualaikum.
