إنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ

(Ain ul Noor Javed, Islamabad)

According to a hadith, deeds are only with intentions, verily. What this demonstrates? What this hadith really means? And how we implement in our daily lives? Let we discuss about these questions.

We are humans: created by God (Allah Pak). We (humans) are the best creature in the world on the basis of senses and intellectual level. No doubt, we are best but we are not God or gods. We have no right to judge people, their intensions and deeds by our own experiences of generalized cognitions. We can only present our view point with the acceptance and references but we can’t declare anything as strict last to others. We cannot approach to the latent reality of intentions or internal “will" of anyone. The matter of fact is that even we cannot declare any generalized statement about ourselves. If we are not clear about ourselves, then how can we declare anyone as a last title? I’ve hear many statements regarding to judge others. These statements include: deviant person (بہت باغی انسان ھے), harsh person (بہت تلخ انسان ہے), and dead person was a Virtuous man (مرنے والا بہت نیک تھا اور), disobedient person (نافرمابردار انسان), vulgar person (بے حیا انسان), a little psycho person (تھوڑا پاگل انسان ھے) etc with the acceptance of the view point that our cognitions, thoughts and viewpoints those are totally related to our experiences, circumstances and environment. But what they actually are? What circumstances they faced? We often stuck when we think to answer these questions and definitely, we alter our viewpoint when we deeply searched and over looked about.

Moreover, we all have right to present our viewpoint independently. We should also have to accept others point of view in the way to understand that everyone has their own context accordingly so everything and everyone is true with their own experiences. We should have to verify our opinion before we declare someone as what we perceive him or her. Quran Pak also emphasizes on the Research and verification of any unknown and unverified news. In Surah Al-Hujurat: Verse No 6 of 18 mentioned that:
يَآ اَيُّـهَا الَّـذِيْنَ اٰمَنُـوٓا اِنْ جَآءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَاٍ فَتَبَيَّنُـوٓا اَنْ تُصِيْبُوْا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَـةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوْا عَلٰى مَا فَعَلْـتُـمْ نَادِمِيْنَ
Translation: “O believers! If any Transgressors comes to you with any news make a strict inquiry lest you may hurt any people improperly then remain repenting on what you have done (Reference: Alhadees.com).”

Above mentioned verse is demonstrating the focus of verification and inquiry which shows that verification, research and inquiry is not only a scientific obligation but also a religious command.

We should promote “the roots of reality, inquiry of research” instead of, “perception is stronger than reality.” We should challenge and question to our perception to reach the core of reality. To whom we are making fool? To whom we are Deceiving? We are only deceived with ourselves. We are lying with ourselves by embracing the illusion as true without verifying the first sense object. In fact, we are not well aware of empiricism. We are just following what others want to be. The terms “verification”, “inquiry” and “research” is not only meant to News or rumors. These terms are also include in the conceptualization of individual’s verification in terms of his/her attitude, behavior and cognition (in some extend).

Moreover, no religion has the pillar to destroy any individual, society or humanity. Every religion is meant to success, development, and safety of humanity. so whatever our religion is, we should follow the real means and essence of our religion in true meanings and should convey the more beautiful and universal scared to worldwide in order to show that every religion has peace construction.
