Day 01, Daily Ramadan Message
Golden Gems?
?Say: My Lord enjoins justice. And set your faces, upright (toward Him) at every place of worship and call upon Him, making religion pure for Him (only). As He brought you into being, so return ye (unto Him).? (Qur'an 7 verse 29)
?Pure & Precious Pearl?
YET ANOTHER RAMADAN!
O you who believe!
Fasting is prescribed to you
as it was prescribed to those before you,
that you may (learn) self-restraint!
-Qur'an 2 Verses 186
Yet again, we are here and Ramadan is here again. Alhamdulillah. Indeed all thanks are due to Allah who has given us the Continued Existence and We thank Him for our Condition, which is better than the Conditions of those who disbelieve. We praise Him and we thank Him. ?If you reject (Allah), Truly Allah has no need of you; but He likes not ingratitude from His servants: if you are grateful, He is pleased with you?? (Qur'an 39 verse 7)
Our continued existence is a special favour of Allah. We are alive not because of the security we invest in, it is not because of the safety steps we took, or some precautions we made. It is not about us, or about our deeds or misdeeds. Allah has simply permitted us to live to witness Yet Another Ramadan. Will you cease the opportunity?
In Ramadan are several opportunities. The Ultimate Opportunity is to earn A Place in Paradise. The Rasul (peace be upon him) noted in a Hadith that: ?When Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened.? (Bukhari)
Start Ramadan with a pure intention. Ramadan is a month of Action. If you want to make those actions count, then know that they will be judge according to the intentions you make now. Umar Ibn Al-Khattab stated that he heard the Messenger of Allah say, ?The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for.? (Bukhari)
As you enter into Ramadan, intend that all your Actions are solely for Allah?s sake. All your Hands-Off are purely to please Allah. All your Extra Efforts are solely for His Pleasure. Intend that you hope to secure Allah?s forgiveness, His Blessings, His Salvation (from Hell-Fire) and His Reward of Paradise. First Thing First: your intention should first be purified.
?Rare Gems
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ?Whoever believes in Allah and His Messenger, offers prayer perfectly and fasts the month of Ramadan, will rightfully be granted Paradise by Allah, no matter whether he fights in Allah's cause or remains in the land where he is born.? (Bukhari)

A few of them might be intending to provide medical help to those who are physical victims of the war.
A few others might intend to give the orphans support by marrying the widows.
A few others might be intending to rebuild damaged houses.
But their real intention is that for the sake of Allah, these people needs help and this is how I can help.
However, amongst these people might be people who have it in their mind that there are ample opportunity to take advantage of these vulnerable people at this particualr time: get building contracts, oil-lifting contracts, usea and dump the women but keep them quiet with some financial gratification etc.
So you see many people might undertake an action, but their agenda might be different, only Allah is able to view their hidden agenda.
May Allah purify our intentions and keep it from being distorted. Amin.
The man who joined the migration is also migrating, but his intention is not in line with the purpose/motivation for migration. He is not in any danger as a result of the faith in Allah. So his intention something else and he will get that which he intended, but when they are truly counting those who left Makkah for Allah's sake, he has no right to be counted even though he physically joined them to migrate at the same time.
Regarding your question, my understanding of that hadith is that it was the event of the migration from Makkah to Madina, a non-Muslim who is in love with a woman who had accepted Islam saw no problem in Migrating, so he joined the Muslims. Umar got to know and told the Messenger who then made the statement you have quoted. "Actions are judged according to their intentions...."
