Intention (Niyyah) of Fasting
Rule- Once you have completed the morning meal (Sehri) you should make intention in the following manner. Say, “Nawayto an asooma ghadal lillahe ta’ala min fardey ramdhana haaza.” In other words, “I make intention, to fast the compulsory fast of Ramadhan for the sake of Allah Ta’ala.”
Rule- If one is not able to make the intention at Sehri time, he should make the intention as soon as possible during the day and should say. “Nawayto an asooma hazal yauma lillahe ta’ala min fardey ramdhana haaza.” This means, “I make intention to fast this day, the compulsory fast of Ramadhan for the sake of Allah Ta’ala.”

What is Intention?
Rule- In general, intention means planning with the heart. It is not a condition to say it with the tongue. The same rule applies to intending for fast, but it is better to say it with the tongue.
Rule- If someone has missed many fasts of Ramadhan, the intention should include the year and the specific fast that he is making up (Qaza), but if they are not included then there is no loss.
