Niyyah (Niyyaht) Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Niyyah in Arabic means intention.
Intention must justify the action.
Niyyah is spoken from the heart to God.
It's an Islamic concept in prayer.

Intention behind action is Niyyah.
Gift given must be without a motive.
Donor must not expect a name out of it.
Credit must go to God and not donors.

Intensity of prayer is no good
If not accompanied by intention good.
It excludes prayer for any favour.
It excludes prayer to fulfill curses.
