Am I still rewarded for my fast if my intention wasn’t clear?

Assalamu alaikum everyone. I remembered this hadith: “Actions are only by intentions, and every person will have what they intended.” It’s from the authentic books. It’s really making me reflect. Earlier I wasn’t sure if my fast would count because I forgot to make a firm niyyah. But I keep reminding myself Allah sees what’s inside my heart. Even when we make mistakes, maybe the reward is in trying our best? I’ll keep my fast and trust in Allah’s mercy.

This post is a reminder for me too. Sometimes I forget to make a clear intention and stress about it. But you're right, trying our best is what counts. JazakAllah khair for sharing.

Exactly, man. Allah looks at our efforts, not just perfection. Fasting with a wavering mind still counts as striving. May Allah accept it.

Real talk, niyyah is in the heart, not on the tongue. You meant to fast? Then you're golden. Allah's mercy is bigger than our overthinking.

Bro, I've been there. The hadith is deep but remember, we're not accountable for what we forget. Your niyyah was probably there, just unspoken. Keep pushing, inshaAllah.
