In Islam, intention (*Niyyah*) is essential in worship as it distinguishes acts done for the sake of Allah from habitual or insincere actions. Niyyah reflects the worshiper’s sincerity and purpose, turning ordinary actions into acts of devotion. Without the correct intention, worship lacks spiritual value, as it is the inner intention that Allah considers, not just outward actions. Niyyah is required to fulfill the conditions of worship, like prayer and fasting, ensuring that acts are meaningful and done solely to please Allah.
