This is the roleplay poster for my group! Together with me, Fatin Nabilah, Aina and Hasya. The topic is Why Our Iman is Always Been Tested?

In my opinion, our Iman is always tested to strengthen our faith. For instance, our muscles grew through resistance and training. Our Iman is no different as it strengthens after every trial. Allah SWT tests us many times so we can rely on Allah SWT and strengthen our Iman in the process.

All in all, when our iman is tested it is not meant to harm us, but to prove sincerity, strengthen faith, purify sins, ease our journey to the Hereafter, and remind us of our dependence on Allah. Every trial is a path to be closer to Him.

The 5 Pillars of Islam consist of:

1. Shahadah

The testimony that “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”

It is the first step into Islam and shows belief in the oneness of God and the finality of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as His messenger.

2. Salah

Muslims pray five times a day at fixed times: Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha.

Prayer keeps a Muslim connected to Allah, reminds them of their duties, and builds discipline and peace in daily life.

3. Zakat

Muslims who are financially able must give a portion of their wealth (usually 2.5% of savings) to the poor and needy.

It purifies wealth, reduces inequality, and encourages compassion and social responsibility.

4. Fasting in Ramadan

Muslims fast during the month of Ramadan from dawn to sunset, abstaining from food, drink, and sinful behavior.

Fasting teaches self-control, empathy for the less fortunate, and spiritual closeness to Allah.

5. Hajj (Pilgrimage to Makkah)

A pilgrimage performed once in a lifetime if a Muslim is physically and financially able.

Millions gather in Makkah annually to perform rituals that show unity, equality, and devotion to Allah.

Importance of Adab in Islam

•The Prophet (PBUH) was sent to prfect good manners.

•Muslims should practice good character in daily life.

•Prophet Muhammad (S) showed excellent behavior toward all creation.

•Good manners are essential for effective dawah (spreading Islam).

•Promoting good and avoiding evil is a key part of Islam.

•The best Muslims on Judgment Day will be those with the best manners.

My wish is that I will continue to learn and retain all the valuable knowledge that I learned in Usrah until the end of my life. I hope to apply these lessons in my daily actions, strengthen my faith, and share what I have learned with others so that it benefits not only myself but also those around me. May this knowledge guide me towards becoming a better Muslim and remain with me until the end of my life.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned many things here and I hope Usrah could expand more in terms of topics in Islam, especially in its vast history. I realized I don't know or remember much about the great event that happened throughout the lives of the prophets. So I hope the in next semester I could learn more about them <3

My self-reflection on Khushu' in solat and fasting

# data[].attributes.subject
My self-reflection on Khushu' in solat and fasting

# data[].attributes.body
Khusyuk in solat means praying with full focus and sincerity, but when I reflect on myself, I realise that I often do not truly appreciate how important it is. Sometimes I pray just to complete the obligation, without really thinking that I am standing before Allah. My mind easily gets distracted, and I forget that solat is supposed to be a moment of deep connection and humility. Allah says, “Successful indeed are the believers, those who humble themselves in their prayers” (Surah Al-Mu’minun 23:1–2), which reminds me that khusyuk is not something small, but something I need to take more seriously.

Fasting is also an act of worship that many people, including myself, may not fully realise the true value of. Often, fasting feels like simply avoiding food and drink, and I forget that it is meant to build taqwa, patience, and self-discipline. Allah says, “Fasting has been prescribed for you… so that you may attain taqwa” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:183). Reflecting on this makes me understand that fasting is not just a routine practice, but a spiritual training that I should appreciate more in order to strengthen my faith.

# data[].attributes.body
Khusyuk in solat is very important because it helps us build a strong and sincere connection with Allah. When we pray with full focus and humility, solat becomes more meaningful and brings peace to the heart. It reminds us that we are not just performing an obligation, but standing before our Creator with devotion. Allah says, “Successful indeed are the believers, those who humble themselves in their prayers” (Surah Al-Mu’minun 23:1–2), showing that khusyuk is a key part of true faith and spiritual success.

Fasting is also an important act of worship because it teaches self-control, patience, and increases taqwa. It helps Muslims become more aware of Allah’s blessings and develop empathy for those who face hardship every day. Allah explains the purpose clearly: “Fasting has been prescribed for you… so that you may attain taqwa” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:183). Through fasting, we strengthen our character and grow closer to Allah, making it a powerful form of spiritual training.

What do we gain from being patient?

My part was to talk about that patience will leads to success in Life and the Hereafter

The reason is that patience helps Muslims remain steadfast in doing good and avoiding sin. Allah promises success for those who persevere.

It is also mentioned in the Quran:

“O you who believe, be patient, persevere, and remain steadfast…”

(Surah Ali ‘Imran 3:200)

Furthermore, continuing good habits like honest work, helping others, and avoiding bad influences even when it is difficult or tempting.

individual or social level.

The objective is producing a righteous servant of Allah SWT who consequently contributes to the betterment and well-being of others

Definision of Zakah

- Zakah refers to the determined share of wealth prescribed by God to be distributed among deserving categories

Act of compulsory ibadah which specifically involve the wealth of

Muslim. This proves that ibadah in Islam is not just in spiritual dimension such as Salah and Sawm, but it also covers social and material dimension

of human life.

Virtues of Zakah

1. Tawakkul

According to Ibn al-Qayyim, tawakkul refers to surrendering to the command and decree of the Lord. Place complete reliance and trust in Allah’s SWT Injunctions, Wills and Decision on his life.

True believers “حقا المؤمنون “are characterized by:

Thus, the virtue of tawakkul and the act of giving Zakah are correlated.

2. Ukhuwwah

Ukhūwah refers to the bond of brotherhood among people that creates harmony in life and connects them through their shared Islamic 'aqidah.

In Islam, Allah SWT has declared that believers are brothers in belief and should pursue towards peace and avoid harmful relation

Zakāh trains Muslims in the value of ukhūwah (brotherhood). It builds social awareness and unity within the Muslim community. It helps reduce selfishness and individualism, and encourages Muslims to care for, love, and show empathy toward one

another.

Conclusion

Zakāh involves both vertical and horizontal relationships:

-The vertical relationship is between humans and Allah SWT, as the command to give zakāh comes from Him.

-The horizontal relationship is between humans, as the benefits of zakāh are received by fellow Muslims.

Zakah contains spiritual and social dimensions:

I wish that after usrah, my iman and tawakkal will continue to strengthen, not only during the session but also in my daily life. I hope that what I learn and feel during usrah will stay in my heart and guide my actions, especially in times when my faith feels weak or when I face challenges. I want to rely more on Allah in every situation and trust His plans with sincerity and patience. At the same time, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of khushu’, so that my worship becomes more meaningful and focused. With this understanding, I wish to be able to share with others the importance of khushu’ in our prayers and daily acts of worship, and encourage them to strengthen their connection with Allah as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I suggest that in the future, usrah sessions can implement more topics about the scientific facts stated in the Quran, as this is a very interesting and engaging topic. Learning about the scientific aspects found in the Quran can help us appreciate the wisdom and greatness of Allah even more. It also strengthens our iman by showing how the teachings of the Quran are relevant to knowledge and discoveries in the modern world. Through these discussions, participants may feel more motivated to learn, reflect, and ask questions, making the usrah sessions more meaningful and impactful. Overall, this topic can help deepen our understanding of Islam and strengthen our connection with the Quran in a thoughtful and inspiring way.
