His answer, in his own words

maulana agla sawal jodhpur rajasthan se muhammad khalid sahib ne poocha hai. unhon ne likha hai ke kisi amal ko karte waqt hum jo feel karte hain, kya wohi hamari niyat hoti hai? maulana is ko wazeh karen. yeh meri samajh, yeh sawal meri samajh aaya.

niyat to, yani niyat ka matlab hai intention. yani kisi, kisi cheez ko aap jaise aap infaq farz karte hain, infaq karein ke is liye ke aap ka naam ho ke bara sakhi hai, to aap ki niyat doosri ho gayi. aur agar aap Allah ke liye karein to niyat doosri ho gayi.

aur Bukhari ki riwayat mein hai ke, yani ek shakhs ne Rasool Allah ke saath hijrat ki Makkah se Madine ke liye, us ki niyat yeh thi ke Madine mein woh ek aurat se shadi karna chah raha tha. to yeh us ka naam niyat hai.

feeling ka naam niyat nahi. yeh main samjha nahi is baat ko. ji. Maulana agla sawal Shahnawaz Zafar sahib ne kiya hai Delhi se.
