Intentions '05 |
| 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 it’s 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 it’s 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)? |
