Prayer of first ten days of Dhu l-Hijja

The Essence of Intent: Niyyah

At the heart of Shia teachings is the concept of Niyyah, or the intention behind acts of worship. Each prayer during this holy period must be accompanied by a sincere intention, recognizing the spiritual purpose behind the act. This intentionality not only enhances the quality of prayer but provides clarity to the worshipper’s path. Engaging in Dhu l-Hijja prayers with a focused mind and heart fosters a deeper connection to Allah. Herein lies an opportunity for believers to attune their hearts toward their Creator, cultivating holiness in both thought and deed.
