her heart that she found her lost necklace as a result of her intention to regularly attend the weekly Ijtimā’! A worldly necklace is a very trivial object, a good intention can take you to Paradise, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ. The Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated, ‘A good intention will take a man to Heaven.’^[1] Here are some more benefits of good intentions:

1.          The Mercy for the entire creation, the Guide to the path of salvation صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘A true intention is the best deed.’^[2]

The Greatest and Holiest Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰى عَـلَيْـهِ وَاٰلـِهٖ وَسَـلَّم said, ‘A Muslim’s intention is better than his action.’^[3]

Four recitations for finding a lost item

1.          یَـا رَقِـیْبُ: If you lose something, then recite this abundantly,        اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, you will find it.

یَـا جَامِـعُ: If you lose something, then recite this abundantly,        اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, you will find it.

If something has been misplaced, then recite ‘اِنَّا لِلّٰهِ وَ اِنَّاۤ اِلَيْهِ رٰجِعُوْنَ’ whilst searching for it, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, you will find it, or else you will be granted another good thing from the unseen.

Recite Sūraĥ Aḍ-Ḍuḥā seven times, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, you will find your missing person or item.
