Do i av the right niyyah...

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 its 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 peopleI'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

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 PLAEASURE
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 its 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)?

Assalamualaikum...

Subhanallah,pergh..tertusuk tul bila dengar lagu ni...then, i ask myself..do i av the right niyyah? Persoalan ni bermain2 dan menghantui kotak minda saya..adakah ape yang saya buat selama ni dengan niat yang betul? Mengharapkan keredhaan Allah atau manusia? Kadang2 niat dah betul tapi bila buat perkara baik tu, datanglah syaitan2 meniup angin riak dan takbur lalu hati menjadi ragu2...susah betul nak jaga hati supaya terus tetap di jalan yang lurus..maklumlah sang raja..ia amat perlu dijaga dan ditatang umpama minyak yang penuh..ya muqollibalqulub thabbit qulubana a’la deenik wa’ala thoa’tik...ameen.
