As-Salaam alaikum,
 In a Hadith related by Imam Bukhari in his Sahih, Umar Ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said:--

    "Indeed, actions only go by intentions. Everyone gets what
    they intend. Anyone, therefore, who emigrates Allah and His
   Messenger, then his emigration is indeed for Allah and His
   Messenger. But anyone who emigrated to gain something of
   this world or to marry a woman, his emigration is for that for
   which he emigrated."

 Intention is a precondition for our works/actions: wudu, ghusl, tayammun, fasting, zakat, retreat, Hajj, Sallah etc Infact, intention (niyyah) is to aim for the goal.. it is the heart's resolve.

 In view of this, we should always have sincere intention when we come to perform any work of worship... do it for Allah's sake and in accordance with the Sunnah. We must understand that Niyyah is very important as according to Sheikh Muhammad Baha'uddin Shah, may Allah be Merciful to him, "it consists of 3 letters:

  nun..which represents nurullah, the Light of Allah.
 ya..which represents yadullah, the hand of Allah.
 ha..which represents hidayatullah...the guidance of Allah.

The Niyyah is the Breeze of the Soul.
