109--S - Intention of Prayer

Say or read by heart :

example: 

Oh allah please accept my 3 rakah of magrib fard with immam.......Allah Akbar.

or

Oh allah please accept my 2 rakah of magrib sunnah muakaddah........Allah Akbar.


Details:

The intention is something from the heart and does not have to be loud.

Declare the ‘takbeer’ (Allah-o-Akbar) to signal the start of their prayers, and offer the prayer they intended in their hearts to pray.

 It is not necessary to state the intention verbally as some people believe. Such a practice was never prevalent during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or the early Muslims, whose example we must strive to follow.

While praying with the Imam one should have the firm and sincere intention of performing such-and-such a prayer with the Imam. The Imam leading the salah should also have the intention of performing such-and-such a prayer in congregation as an Imam."


Is it right to say Intention (Niyat) for prayer in one`s own mother tongue (that is in the language that one understands best).


if one has made intention in one’s heart to offer a particular prayer, does the ‘wudu’ in preparation for the prayer, approaches the ‘masjid’ or stands on the prayer mat in the direction of the ‘qibla’ to start their prayer, etc
