Niyyah check

Twelve statements. For each one, choose how closely it matches you. Pick what’s true right now, not what ought to be.

إِنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ

Actions are only by intentions.

Sahih al-Bukhari 1

Only Allah knows the truth of an intention. This is an exercise in being honest with yourself (muhasaba), not a verdict.

  1. 1When I weigh a deal, the halal question comes to mind before the margin does.
  2. 2I can walk away from a deal that pays well but sits in doubtful territory.
  3. 3If every competitor uses a grey-area tactic, I tend to treat it as normal.
  4. 4I can say clearly whom my business benefits and how.
  5. 5I judge success almost entirely by monthly revenue.
  6. 6If profit stayed thin for a year but the work stayed halal and useful, I’d keep going.
  7. 7I don’t hide a product’s weak points when I advertise or sell it.
  8. 8A little exaggeration to close a sale doesn’t feel wrong to me.
  9. 9I pay staff and suppliers in full and on time.
  10. 10Even in the busiest season, salah is the first thing fixed in my schedule.
  11. 11I calculate zakat and sadaqah from business income deliberately, not when I happen to remember.
  12. 12Being praised for my business matters more to me than the good it does.
