Niyyah means the intention to perform a Prayer and is an essential part of it. The worshipper should make a Niyyah in his mind as to which type of Prayer, Fard, Sunnah or Nafl etc., he is going to perform and how many Rak‘at. It is not necessary to make Niyyah by saying the words aloud. The mere intention in one’s mind will suffice. The worshipper, therefore, should recite Taujih along with the Niyyah. Taujih is given in chapter 2.
