<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the significance of the intention to learn according to Sheikh al-Zarnuji in the book *Ta’lim al-Muta’allim Thariqat at-Ta’allum*. The objectives of this research are to examine: (1) the significance of the intention to learn according to Sheikh al-Zarnuji in the book *Ta’lim al-Muta’allim Thariqat at-Ta’allum*; (2) the nature of good and bad intentions in learning according to Sheikh al-Zarnuji in the same book; and (3) the explanation of *hadith* regarding the intention to learn as cited by Sheikh al-Zarnuji in the book *Ta’lim al-Muta’allim Thariqat at-Ta’allum*. This study employs a qualitative approach and focuses on the ideas of a specific figure. Consequently, the research methodology used is library research, which involves utilizing literature—such as books, notes, and reports from previous studies. Data collection relies on specific documents and interviews with sources that support the research process and the drawing of conclusions. The data analysis leads to the conclusion that: (1) regarding the significance of the intention to learn according to Sheikh al-Zarnuji in *Ta’lim al-Muta’allim Thariqat at-Ta’allum*, intention is fundamental to all matters; therefore, it is obligatory for a student to form and properly align their intention while pursuing knowledge so that the knowledge acquired becomes a source of blessing for them. (2) Regarding good and bad intentions in learning, Sheikh al-Zarnuji—in his book *Ta’lim al-Muta’allim Thariqat at-Ta’allum*—states that a student should intend to seek the pleasure of Allah (SWT), hope for happiness in the Hereafter, dispel ignorance from themselves and others, revive the religion, and preserve Islam; for indeed, the preservation of Islam relies upon knowledge, and the virtues of asceticism (*zuhud*) and piety (*taqwa*) cannot be validly realized in a state of ignorance. (3) Regarding the explanation of the *hadith* on the intention for learning cited by Sheikh al-Zarnuji in *Ta’lim al-Muta’allim Thariqat at-Ta’allum*—specifically the *hadith* "Actions are judged by intentions" (*Innama al-a’malu bi-an-niyyat*)—the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) established two crucial principles within the Islamic perspective concerning the basis of an action and its associated reward. In this light, the *hadith* holds a position of immense importance as one of the fundamental principles of the Islamic faith. Intention constitutes the most vital element of the actions performed by an individual.]]>
