BENEFITS OF HAVING GOOD NIYYAH

  1. As the anchor of every action and deed 
  2. Good inspiration for future generation
  3. Get reward from Allah SWT
  4. Having any sincerity in any deed
  5. Good intention makes the habit 

Since the first point is mine, I would like to explain it a little further. 

Based on the collection of 40 Hadith Shah Waliullah, the 33rd Hadith stated that,

 'Actions are through intention'. 

All of our actions, be it a daily habits or something new, all of it comes from our intention or niyyah. Let's say, if a person have absolutely no intention in getting up to perform his fajr prayer, he will not do so. However, if a person have the willingness to perform the fajr prayer and he intend to wake up, he will.

These intentions or niyyah to do something, be it good or bad, will be the anchor for the actions and deeds. Having a good intention will be the guide for him to plan his actions and deeds so that he can realize his intention. However, while executing his actions to realize his intention, he may will stray away from the good deeds and actions. As his initial intention is to do something good, Allah SWT may help him to come back to his sense so that he can correct his actions. 

In a hadith narrated by Umar Al-Khattab, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said,

"The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever has emigrated for Allah and His Apostle, then his emigration was for Allah and His Apostle. And whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, then his emigration was for what he emigrated for." -Sahih Bukhari

Hence, all of our actions and deeds, it is all came from our intention. If bad is what we intend for, then bad it will be and if good is what we intend for, then good it will be.
