Innamal A Malu Binniyat Poem by Dr Shamim Ali

Innamal a Malu Binniyat
Deeds judged by their intent
A truth we must not forget
For our actions, we'll be held accountable, yet

Good intentions are the seed.
From which love and desire breed
A heart that's pure and sincere
Brings blessings and happiness near

Our destiny lies in our hands.
As we fulfil our life's demands
But the path we take depends
On our bond with Allah, the one who mends

So let us strive to do what's right
With intentions pure and bright
For in the end, it's not just the act
But the heart's intent that impacts

Innamal a Malu Binniyat
May this truth forever stay
As we journey through life's pathway
And Allah guides us along the way

Innamal a'malu binniyat,
Deeds judged by intent; that's the fact.
For good intention comes from love,
And desire that's pure as a dove.

Fulfilment of action, destiny's part,
Dependent on Allah, the Master of art.
Predisposition, bond with Him,
Guides the way, life's beautiful hymn.

The heart that's pure, the soul that's kind,
The deeds that flow with love in mind,
All will be weighed on the final day,
When we stand, and for our actions pay.

So let's keep our intentions true,
And let our actions follow through,
For deeds will be judged by their intent,
And to Allah, we will all be present.
