sincere. It is essential for us to have an intention during the course of
our studies because the intention is fundamental in all actions.

“All actions are based on intentions”.
Dear brothers and sisters,
Our worldly actions can become actions of hereafter if we have
good intention. And our actions of hereafter can become worldly
actions if we have an evil intention. It is the importance of good
intention in every action.
Having good intention will lead us to being sincere. Sincerity is
important in seeking knowledge. Remember, seeking knowledge is an
act of worship and Allah will not accept any act of worship unless it's
done sincerely for His sake. We seek knowledge just for the sake of
Allah, not for popularity or fame, status, wealth, or for arguing with
people or debating with scholars. Fame , status , or popularity are all
things that will corrupt the sincerity of the heart.
Secondly, we must have discipline in managing our time. We
must make the best use of our time. Make the most of our youth and
our whole life by learning. Do not be deceived by procrastination and
wishful thinking about the future. We must remember that every
minute, every hour of our life that passes cannot be replaced.
