Niyyah, (also called niyah, niyya, niyyat or niyat)
is an Islamic concept which is the intention one evokes in his heart to do an act for the sake of Allah (God).

Niyyah means 'intention'. If someone intends to do a good deed but his actions are cut short due to no fault of his/her own, then they still get the thawab (plus points) for it as if they had succeeded.
