Please read completely. There is only gain & benefit in doing so in sha Allah.

Ibn al-Mubarak (Rahimahullah)said,
"Maybe a small action is made
great by its intention,
aиϑ maybe a great action is
made small by its intention."

With the continuation of the lockdown as Muslims, we can be in one of two categories.

The first category will be those who will enter the lockdown solely because they have to.
They will gain no benefit & will begin feeling restless very quickly.

The second category will be those who will turn this action of dunya into an action of Aakhirat.
They will gain benefit & be scoring in A'maal even while doing daily necessities of life.

The only difference between these two categories, & the action through which the second category achieves success is that of *Intention.*

Rasulullah sallallaahu alayhi wasallam said in a Hadeeth Shareef, to the effect:
إِنَّمَا الاَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ
_"Actions are according to intentions."_

From this Hadeeth Shareef we see that by increasing in our intentions, we will benefit & achieve more. So let us not deprive ourselves, but rather let us use this simple, easy way to gain maximum benefit In Sha Allah.

BEAUTIFUL INTENTIONS
TO MAKE DURING LOCKDOWN
✽-̶̯͡♈̷̴♥̸̨͡✽

1. Oh Allah, this is Your command, because no law can be passed on this earth, except if You decree.
Oh Allah, I am obeying Your command.
🍃🌹🍃

2. Oh Allah, I am following the law of my country & fulfilling my right as a citizen.
🍃🌹🍃

3. Oh Allah, I am staying at home to make Ikraam of others.
🍃🌹🍃

4. Oh Allah, I intend to use this time to repair my relationship with You - to make taubah & become closer to You. Oh Allah, You grant me the ability.
🍃🌹🍃

5. Oh Allah, by staying at home You are blessing me with the chance to protect my eyes from sin. Oh Allah, please help me to protect my eyes from looking at any evil inside my house, too - magazines, television, videos, pictures on our phones, etc. Oh Allah, I am making intention to continue protecting my gaze after this too In Sha Allah, the benefit of which, according to a Hadeeth Shareef to the effect, is that one will taste the sweetness of Imaan. Oh Allah, You grant me the ability.
🍃🌹🍃

6. Oh Allah, through staying at home, I am saving myself from going to places of vice & sin.
🍃🌹🍃

7. Oh Allah, now that I have extra free time on my hands, I intend to increase in my Qur'aan tilaawat, nafl salaahs, & other good A'maal that I usually do not find the time to do.
🍃🌹🍃

8. Oh Allah, by doing this (above) I am also preparing for Ramadhaan Mubarak.
🍃🌹🍃

9. Oh Allah, You are the giver of health & sickness. Oh Allah, through staying at home, I am adopting a means of looking after my health & body, which is a trust from You, & saving others from harm & difficulty.
🍃🌹🍃

10. Oh Allah, I intend using this opportunity You have blessed me with, to strengthen my bond with my family.
🍃🌹🍃

11. Oh Allah, I intend making khidmat of my parents & any elders in my home, & I intend having mercy on those younger than me in my home. Nabi sallallaahu alayhi wasallam ﷺ said to the effect,
"He who does not respect our elders, aиϑ does not show mercy to our young ones, is not from us."
🍃🌹🍃

12. Oh Allah, I will use this time to make the tarbiyat of my children In Sha Allah. Nabi sallallaahu alayhi wasallam ﷺ said to the effect,
"A person while making the tarbiyat of his child earns more reward from Allah than when he is spending about 7 pounds of grain in His path."
🍃🌹🍃

13. Oh Allah, my Nabi sallallaahu alayhi wasallam ﷺ would also sit for long periods of time in solitude, & he sallallaahu alayhi wasallam loved solitude, therefore I make intention of practicing on a Sunnah.
🍃🌹🍃

14. Oh Allah, in the lives of those who were beloved to You, we see that it was through solitude & isolation, that they were blessed with goodness, success & prosperity. It was during solitude in the cave of Heera that Nabi sallallaahu alayhi wasallam ﷺ was given Nubuwwat, & after 40 days in the belly of the whale that so much of goodness opened up for Yunus عليه السلام.
🍃🌹🍃

15. Oh Allah, I am making intention of I'tikaaf. Hadeeth Shareef mentions to the effect, that three trenches will be dug between a person & Jahannam and the distance of one trench is more than the distance between the heavens & the earth.
🍃🌹🍃

16. Oh Allah, if I was allowed to leave my home, I would have attended gatherings of Your remembrance (weekly ta'leem, madrassah, etc) so please grant me the full reward.
🍃🌹🍃

17. Oh Allah, if I could leave my home, & if others (poor & needy) could leave their homes, it would have been easier to give sadaqah. Please grant me the full reward of that, too.
🍃🌹🍃

18. Oh Allah, by staying at home, You are blessing me with the ability to practice the highest level of pardah.
🍃🌹🍃

19. Oh Allah, I am making intention to refrain from all those actions that displease You, & to try my best to spend my days fruitfully in doing actions that please You.
🍃🌹🍃

20. Oh Allah, just as a caterpillar, after being cocooned for a period of time comes out as a butterfly, so too with us, after this period of lockdown, let us emerge spiritually as bright & beautiful butterflies.
🍃🌹🍃

_May Allah accept from us all, protect our Imaan, grant us ease, aafiyat, khair & His special mercies آمين. 🌻_
