"Intention is the spirit of deeds, and by it, they are rectified. It is divided into two types: a compulsory intention for the validity of acts of worship, such as ablution, prayer, and fasting, which a Muslim rarely neglects, and its place is the heart. The second type is a commendable intention for earning reward in permissible acts by transforming them into acts of obedience, such as eating, drinking, and sleeping with the intention of gaining strength for obedience. Deliberation and self-accountability before action help in recalling this intention."
