Make The Best Intention When Selling

Taking the cue from the previous post on setting the right selling intention, here's the direction I'm taking and urge those of you who read this, to go the same direction:

It is narrated on the authority of Amirul Mu’minin, Abu Hafs ‘Umar bin al-Khattab, radiyallahu ‘anhu, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, say:
“Verily actions are by intentions, and for every person is what he intended. Thus, he whose hijrah was to Allah and His Messenger, then his hijrah was to Allah and His Messenger; but he whose hijrah was for some worldly thing he might gain, or for a woman he might marry, his hijrah is to what he made hijrah for.”
[Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

This saying of the Holy Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam highlight the importance of setting the right kind of intention. Set it right and you'll flow towards it.

Have you set your intention before you sell something today? More importantly, have you set it right?
Intention determines direction
