Finally, our usrah came to an end, and I was very delighted to be given this opportunity to lead this usrah, which helps me to improve myself in my speech as well as being more organize. I realized that there's a lot of shortcoming that need to be overcome, but I'm glad that I gained a lot of experience that will surely benefits me in the future. May everything that we've discussed in our usrah benefits every of us, including my members in becoming a better muslim and khalifah of Allah SWT.

For our final week of Usrah, G4 and G5 breakdown on the topics of why we need to be humble and patient. Both of these traits are normally found in a true believer's heart and attitude. We can see that a lot of times the quran mentioned that Allah loves those who're patience and we were also told that an 'Ibadur-rahman' is someone who walks upon the earth in humility. Throughout the seerah of the Prophet Muhammad SAW we saw that he certainly possessed these traits. For example in Taif, he showed his perseverance in enduring the mockery and hatred shown by the people. Other than that, when Rasulullah SAW was given the power, to be a leader in Madinah, he didn't abuse it to attack the makkans or the Yahudi living in madinah, rather, he allowed the people to have the freedom of choosing their own religion and not oppressing others.

ZAKAH:
1.Ukhuwah (Brotherhood)
- The rich purify themselves by giving zakah, and this develop a strong feeling of brotherhood in their hearts towards the needy, that it make them realized the importance of a muslim to help each other as we are brothers in Islam.
-In a hadeeth, it is mentioned that:

لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لِأَخِيْهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ

2.TAWAKKUL IN ALLAH
-By giving up your love of wealth, it make us realize how dependent we are towards Allah and that all of our wealth were never meant to be ours fully in the first place.
-This strengthen one's faith and draw him closer to Allah as He is the One who provide him with sustenance.

HAJJ
1.Tadhiyyah (Sacrifice)
-One have to invest in their time, wealth and even their strength whether before or during hajj
-This build a strong faith in believer as they're spending their life and doing hajj with Allah in mind.
2.TAQWA
-Increasing God -consciousness when performing ibadah during hajj.
-The image of ppl gathering resemble the scene on the day of Judgement and it develops a fear in the hearts of believers due to their deeds. This encourages them to do more good deeds so that they may attain Jannah insha-Allah.

Fasting isn't just about limiting your good deeds inside the month of Ramadhan, rather it is about keeping your good performances consistent and even improve it outside the day of fasting. If one shows their good attitude only during Ramadhan, then they have misses the real objective of fasting. May Allah make us among those who're constantly reminding themselves about Him in every moment that they're living in and may He raises our ranks and reward us for our sincere hardwork in attaining His pleasure and Jannah as well.

Group 3 discussed the importance of having khushoo' in salah by means of allowing people to achieve success in their life both in this world and the hereafter. They then breakdown some of tips on how to achieve khushoo', which include to have the right niyyah and to make sure that we understand the meaning behind those verses that we're reading. People who're khushoo' in their prayer wil be rewarded by Allah and achieve tranquility at the same time.

# data[].attributes.body
I finally understand why Islam stresses the importance of one gaining khushoo' in his salah. After all, everything that is commanded by Allah is for our benefits. I pray that Allah removes the dark spots that is in my heart as it act as a barrier from receiving guidance from Allah. May He allow me to understand the meaning of the ayah that were recited during my prayer as it can draw me closer towards Him. May He make me a person which have been instilled inside her soul, these virtues that make me a better muslim in the eyes of Allah.

Through 'As-Sawm', muslims can gain many virtues that will help them shaping their own character The virtues that were highlighted in this session include:

1. SABR
- Interestingly, sabr and as-siyam(fasting) share the same meaning which literally means 'to restrain oneself'. This shows how significance fasting is in developing this virtue in a muslim.
-We covered 3 types of Sabr which is; Sabr in carrying out the command of Allah, in things that displeases Him and lastly towards the trials that come in one's life.

"-But the patient are paid back their reward without measure"
Az-Zumar: 10

2. TAKRIM (Respect/Deference)
- During fasting muslims were told to be mindful of their actions and the words that comes out from their mouth. As a result, they learn how to respect other people and refrain themselves from hurting others.
-Just how islam stresses the importance of having a respect towards each other, fasting helps in instilling this virtue in a person and allow him to implement it in his daily life.

3. RAHMAH (Friendliness)
-In the month of Ramadhan, we see that many people will make an effort to participate in volunteer work as well as give out their wealth to the needy. This will help in strengthening the brotherhood among muslim community.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Attain peace and tranquility in life
- With the right amal, our ibadah will be accepted by Allah and thus, we will attain peace in life, making our faith stronger in Him.
2.Shape good attitude
-Like salah, it teaches us to be punctual in life and prevent ourselves from falling into sins.
3.Please Allah SWT
-Allah will put us in a higher rank and we can also feel that our life will become more meaningful.
4.Represent the real image of Islam
-Thru the right amal, people will see the true image of what Islam is and they will be interested in learning more about our religion. Islam will be looked at as a religion of peace which encourage its believer to show good akhlaq to the others.

# data[].attributes.body
1.LOVED AND BLESSED BY ALLAH SWT
-A person with good niyyah wil become closer to Allah SWT. His rank will be raised up and his life will be blessed by Him.
-He will not be swayed by bad environment as Allah had protected his heart from being misguided.

2. GUIDED TO THE STRAIGHT PATH
- Allah mentioned in the Quran that:

Any believer who strives in the way of Allah, he will be guided by Allah on the right path

3.REWARDS IN THE HEREAFTER

# data[].attributes.body
3. MUHASABAH (SELF-ASSESSMENT)
-A person will reassess his own self after every prayer and ask whether his prayer is perfect or not, or whether he really did give his everything in his prayer.
-This attitude will help him to improve his next prayer as he is aware of his own weaknesses in the ibadah that is performed and also try to overcome it one by one.

4. IFFAH (PROTECTION FROM SINS)
-The quality of iffah is the ability to refrain oneself from things which are sinful and can bring a person away from Allah SWT.

5. TAWADHU' (HUMILITY)
- Khushoo' in salah free us from any sense of arrogance, whether it was ujub or takabbur, as we began to realized that we're dependent on Allah SWT. He is our Lord and we're only His slave. The act of sujood bring ourselves in the most humility place and gives us a sense of reality that we're created only to worship Him.
-The beautiful, calm and soft tone that we used in our prayer shape us to behave in a good manners and not to show any immoral behaviours that are displeasing to Allah.

benefits of practicing correct 'amal (1)

# data[].attributes.body
Today we spend a few moments to discussed about the virtues found when one prays with khushoo'. As what we know, salah with khushoo' will bring us enormous benefits; from attaining the pleasure of the Almighty to increasing one's faith and even achieving jannah, which is our main final destination that we're heading to.
It is also mentioned in the Quran, Surah Al-Mu'minoon:

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَاتِهِمْ خَـٰشِعُونَ
Certainly will the believers have succeeded
They who are during their prayer humbly submissive

In our discussion, we focused on 5 main points:

1. TA-AH (OBEDIENCE)
-Salah is an amanah that was given by Allah to the people of Prophet Muhammad SAW and so we are responsible to perform it with the utmost perfection.
-This bring a muslim closer to his Maker as he fulfill the obligations that had been laid out to him in order to attain His pleasure.
-His own desires will be ignored as his heart is purified and every of his action will be only for the sake of Allah.
2. JIHAD (STRIVING)
-Khushoo' isn't something that can be easily obtained, and if one does experience it, it will be hard for him to have the same khushoo' in every of his prayer.
-One shouldn't expect that the khushoo' will stay with him forever. He must work hard in attaining the khushoo', as it deals with one's state of consciousness and faith.
-He will have to strive everytime he is making his prayer in order to fully grasp the sweetness of it. That's how this virtue of jihad is embedded in a person when he achieve khushoo' in his salah.

# data[].attributes.body
It is easy to get our consciousness being taken away during our prayers and even having your niyyah directed toward the wrong way. Sometimes we start our prayer with Allah in mind but along the way we found ourselves thinking about the drama that we just watched on Netflix! No worries, just get hold of your own self and fix your intention. One may not be able to focus 100% immediately but with the willingness to strive and strong faith, I'm sure that we can achieve khushoo' one day. Allah will not let our hardwork goes waste, rather, He will reward us due to our sincere intention. Don't give up and keep your mind in a state of awareness!

# data[].attributes.body
Why it is so important to have a good niyyah?
As we discussed in the previous week, every action is done with intention, and as a muslim, our intention must be directed towards gaining the pleasure of Allah SWT. Intention plays an important role as the foundation of action, and just by having a good niyyah, one will easily attain pahala even before he execute its action.

PREPARATION FOUND IN SALAH WITH KHUSHOO'

# data[].attributes.body
This week we discussed about the real definition of khushoo', which is described by Imam ibn Rajab al Hanbali as the softness of the heart, the calmness and the submissive state of one's heart.

How to gain khushoo'? (preparation)

1.Make sure we're in the state of purification (wudhoo')
-Wudhoo' purify us from sins and prepare our heart to receive the guidance of Allah SWT during our prayer.
- It is impolite to meet Allah SWT in the state of impurities, and do remember that without wudhoo', one's prayer would become invalid.

2. Fulfill the prayer requirement
-Knowing the salah time, clean from major and minor impurities, facing the qiblah, covering the aurah and make sure that one's body, clothes and place of prayer are clean from any najis.

3. Fulfill the pillars of prayer
-There are 13 pillars that one have to bear in mind and not leaving any of it or the salah will be considered invalid. It must also be done in tertib.

These 3 points are the first step in preparing a muslim to meet his Lord with khushoo'.

# data[].attributes.body
Fasting
In Al-Baqarah, verse 183 Allah SWT mentioned that the primary objective in the command of fasting is TAQWA, which is known as "consciousness of God". It is also can be defined as the fear towards Allah SWT, that a person would carries out His command and leave off the things that are displeasing Him.

Zakah
The hikmah of zakah based on 9:103 is that it helps to purify one's heart from the love of this world, from sins he had committed, by paying a certain amount of money which will be given to those who are in need of it. It close the gap between the rich and the poor, making sure that everyone receive their own right in wealth. This make a balance community and avoid any fitna or oppressions form taking place.

Hajj
From surah Al-Baqarah:197, Allah highlights the main objective of hajj which is to refrain the muslims from 3 things:-
1. Rafas > Filthy/abusive words
2.Fasiq > Sinful acts (that is commonly done)
3.Jidal > Debate/arguement (which are baseless)

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that in every ibadah that Allah had made it obligatory, there'll be hikmah that we could gain from it. The secret to achieve those hikmah that is promised by Allah SWT is by having the right niyyah and sincere effort when performing those ibadah itself, not just done it just to get it by. I pray to Allah SWT for the acceptance of my ibadah and for His mercy in giving me the strength to overcome the laziness and make me strive in increasing the quality of my ibadah.

REASON AND SOURCES OF HIKMAH FROM IBADAH

# data[].attributes.body
For our second meeting, we focused on 4 of the pillars of Islam and how we may attain benefits by performing those duties that make us a Muslim.

Prayer

-اُتۡلُ مَاۤ اُوۡحِىَ اِلَيۡكَ مِنَ الۡكِتٰبِ وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ ​ؕ اِنَّ الصَّلٰوةَ تَنۡهٰى عَنِ الۡفَحۡشَآءِ وَالۡمُنۡكَرِ​ؕ وَلَذِكۡرُ اللّٰهِ اَكۡبَرُ ​ؕ وَاللّٰهُ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تَصۡنَعُوۡنَ

- In surah Al Ankabut:45 Allah highlights the significance of performing prayers which is that it restrains us from evil and indecent acts.
-Al Fahsha (indecent): adultery, drinking, etc.
-Al-Munkar (evil): syirik, fasiq (things that break a person's faith)

# data[].attributes.body
Muslims in present day are struggling to maintain the quality of their ibadah. Instead of becoming an essential vehicle which connects us with Allah SWT, we're taking it as a routine or even task that we were told to do so. We're fasting in ramadhan just to get by, pray as it is an obligation in our religion, and many more example that cause us to overlook their hikmah and benefits that it gives us in term of spirituality.
I pray that Allah SWT give me the strength in helping me to really understand the meaning and dive deeply into the value of every ibadah that I perform so that I may attain sth that is even greater from Allah SWT than just mere accomplishment to my own satisfaction.

# data[].attributes.body
2.Must be conducted according to the sunnah of Rasulullah SAW.
-Allah doesn't make Rasulullah SAW except as a mercy to the humanity. When our intentions is set right, we need to make sure that the ibadah is done according to the teachings of Islam, which can be taken from the example of Rasulullah SAW.
-This is because only Allah has the right to tell us how He want to be worshipped, which He told us through His beloved prophet Rasulullah SAW.

صـلـّوا كـمـا رأيـتـمـونـي أصـلـّي

We aren't in the position to decide how we want to worship Him and as a slave of Him, it is only He that has a right to command us how to do so.

3.Done with Ihsan (+ve virtues)
-Worship Him as though you're seeing Him, and if not as if He sees you
-When you do an ibadah, make sure to put your best effort in completing it, not just because you were forced to do so.
-By implementing this concept, you're able to create a consistent motivation within yourself which drives you to do more good deeds in excellence for Allah SWT.

# data[].attributes.body
Our topic for this week covers the importance of knowing your real purpose in this life, which is to worship Allah SWT as well as how to make sure that your ibadah is accepted by Him.

Purpose in this life:
In surah az-zariyat verse 56 Allah SWT mentioned how He created us, human beings and jinn with the purpose of worshipping Him alone. This ayah highlights the main role of a man, which is to be a slave of Allah SWT for 24 hrs and that every action which is done in the sake of Him served as an ibadah. Therefore, one must make sure that his ibadah is accepted by Allah SWT in order for us to be qualified as His loyal servant, and knowing that in every ibadah that were done, there'll be hikmah (positive values) that can be gained. So, how can we make sure that our ibadah is accepted?

1.Setting the right niyyah (intention)
-Surely we've heard about the Prophet's saying that:

إِنَّمَا اْلأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى

verily, every act is done by intention. In this case, one must have IKHLAS (sincerity) in the ibadah that he is performing in order to free himself from anything that might cause Allah SWT to be associated with. It is done solely for the sake of Allah SWT, not for his own satisfaction in getting praises or etc.
-It is important to bear in mind that you have to keep practising and slowly renew your intention everytime you realize that there's something wrong with it.

Too many things that were taken for granted in this world we're living in and we only realized the value that it holds when it is gone. Same with the nature, we see that because of our hands, currently the forest are burning, the coral reefs are endangered as well as other animals like koala and tiger. Sooner or later if we failed to make any changes then it is not surprising that we might as well run out of resources. O Allah, save us from being amongst the 'Al-Mufsidun' and help us do our best in upholding the justice of other creations as it is our responsibility to take care of its well-being. Make us amongst those who are grateful towards the blessings that were given by You.

# data[].attributes.body
Sustain= preserve
-What can we do?
As a muslim we can help to claim the rights of the environment and create awareness through social media platform. It is important to preserve the nature for the usage of future generations that will come, so that humanity may continue to live as well. It is permissible if we want to use the resources that are around us but we need to remind ourselves not to be excessive. We find many times in the Quran where Allah SWT mentioned that He hates 'Al-Mu'tadin' (ppl who are excessive)

# data[].attributes.body
People that make destruction upon the earth is considered as an oppressor in the sight of Allah SWT. Because of human's greed and irresponsible actions, others life were threatened without us realizing.

If we can refer back to surah Al-Baqarah before, when Allah SWT mentioned that He wanted to create a man, the angels asked why He would create a creation that would cause destruction upon the earth. This indicates that the angels had already known the nature of human and the consequences that would come. Nevertheless, Allah knows which they do not. As a khalifah of Allah, we were sent upon the earth to guide the humanity towards the right path, including taking care of the well-being of the nature and environment, speaking on their behalf about their rights.

Allah had provided us with the nature so that we can use it as our resources to fulfill our necessities but we didn't show any gratitude towards the ni'mah that were given and even cause destruction upon it by our hands (Ar-Rum:41). At the end of the day, we will be the one who suffered from the actions that we've done and by the time we realized it, it is already too late.

Islam; Outward actions consisting of five pillars that are acted upon in the cause of Allah S.W.T. As a muslim, it is an obligation for us to fulfill these 5 pillars in order for us to remain as a Muslim. It is our first step in creating the path which will lead us to Allah S.W.T.

Iman;peace is the inward beliefs laid upon the six foundation of beliefs. Unlike Islam, Iman requires a lot of hardwork in order to fully embrace the meaning.This is because not every muslim is a mu'min but every mu'min is always a muslim. By constantly filling our own heart with 'ilm and the lights from His guidance, inshaallah we can also be a part of al-mu'minoon.

Ihsan; worshipping Allah as though u're seeing Him and if u aren't able to do it, worship Him as though He is seeing u. Ihsan is regarded as the ultimate achievement as it includes both Islam (outward actions) and iman (inward beliefs). It encourages a person to be conscious of his Lord in every moment whether he is eating, sleeping or waking up. This quality of ihsan protects him from any act of shirk as he takes everything out of equation except only Allah S.W.T. It is mentioned in the quran that Allah S.W.T loves the people of Muhsinin and He would never waste their rewards.

Adab with Family
Islam stressed the importance of having a good relationship with one's own family. It is important that one give his full attention to the well-being of his family before he take care of other people. This doesn't means that he should neglect other people that are in need, instead, he should make sure that his family are well taken care of before he decided to start giving out plenty of sadaqaah. Islam practices the concept of wasatiyyah (moderate) in every good deeds that its believer do.

Allah knows the best
-Sometimes, what you love may be a bad thing for you and what you hate may be a good thing for you. (Al-Baqarah:216). Just like the mother of Prophet Moses (pbuh) whom had to put her son in a basket and let it be carried away by the river, she was reunited back in the end. Although it was hard to make the decision, Allah knows that if the mother didn't do it Moses will be killed by Pharaoh.

Be patient
-Sabara; to restrain,confine,detain. Don't feel discourage when sth bad happen. Rather, we ought to encourage ourselves to be patient and persevere coz there'll be a greater reward for those who're patience (Az-Zumar:10).

Do not give up
-Hope; expecting sth desirable/good to happen. It is the reason why we manage to pull ourselves out of the darkness and the reason why we can keep moving forward in this life. In islam, to avoid us from being too ignorant, hope need to be balanced with fear of Allah.
-Why we fell into despair? Too many trials and test can make us lose hope and if we ever lose sight of the purpose of this life which is to be tested (Al-Mulk:2) then it can lead us away from Allah. Also, sometimes we feel that our sins are too big to be forgiven that we decided that there's no hope left for us. This is wrong as we're seemed to deny the attributes of Ar-Rahim (The Ever Merciful)of Allah by limiting His Mercy.
- Combating feeling of despair by turning yourselves to Quran and Sunnah, be relalistic optimist, having tawakkul in Allah and add more knowledge on how Islam deals with the problems that you're facing.

Islam stressed the importance of pursuing knowledge as a  virtue based on Al-Jathiyah verse 13. If we can recall, the first verse that were revealed to Rasulullah SAW in cave of Hira' consist of the word 'Iqra' which is 'read'. So then, what is the importance of doing so?

Grateful for the grace of Allah (An-Naml:15)
-As a human who was created by Allah, we are blessed with the intellect of learning and understanding of knowledge, which no other creations are capable of. So by the ability that were bestowed upon us, we should acquire more knowledge esp. about our religion as it helps us in our worship, distinguishing good from evils, knowing about world and hereafter and more.

Gain more knowledge and helping others (Al-Alaq: 1-5)
- Knowledge is more important compare to wealth and properties. But we also need to bear in our mind that having knowledge isn't a reason for us to be arrogant. Instead, we'll get an accountable rewards from Allah SWT if we share our knowledge with other ppl. Just like Ibn Sina, Khawarizmi and other muslims scholars who inspired other ppl even non-muslims to gain more knowledge and make great discoveries.

Knowledge entails benefits and rewards
-It is said that Allah SWT will ease the path of paradise to those who seek knowledge. Their ranks are raised by Allah SWT and will be wished good by Him.

Prerequisites to the acts of worship
-Muslims need to learn more about Allah SWT before they can worship Him. Learn about His names and attributes. Knowing what makes our ibadah disapproves by Allah SWT help us avoid from going down the wrong path.

In this temporary worldly life, we will always be tested with many things but surely Allah had promised us that every trials that we're going through will never go beyond than what we can bear.

When Allah test you?
- When He wants to make us a better and stronger muslim
- When He already choose the best path for us; He knows sth that we want is not the best, so He replaces it with sth even better.
-There's a saying that 'Whatever that reach you was never meant to miss you, and whatever that miss you was never meant to reach you'. Thus, we have to put out trust and courage in facing the uncertainty that will unfold in the future
- When He wants to bring us closer to Him; this is because in the time of hardship one will turn his face towards Allah and seek for His help.

Type of test: Fear&hunger; Loss of wealth; Lives n fruits

Dealing with test and trials

-Make dua' to Allah SWT for His help, strength and relief from the test. Just as Yaakub (pbuh) and Rasulullah SAW and other prophets, who never stop relying on Allah SWT  whenever calamities befall them.

-Muhasabah: Use this opportunity to re-assess our weakness and strength. "What can I do better? What need to be changed?"

-Having tawakkul in Allah SWT. He is the best planner and He teaches us the best lessons.

-Strengthen our ibadah. "Seek help in patience and preyer"     (2:153)

-Gratitude puts our test in perspective and stop us from complaining.It is the greatest route towards Sabr.

During your online session with your teacher, you should:
-Open your camera :by showing your presence in the meeting, you help the teacher to be more comfortable as they can see their students' faces.
-Response when being asked: This can elevate the mood of overall class as students are being responsive and not making the teacher feel awkward as if she was talking alone.
-Focus during class: Keep any of distraction away from your sights like your phone or food. If you feel sleepy, take a break to the toilet and continue with your studies. Be honest and responsible with your timetable.
-Mute your mic: Avoid from disturbing your online class session with your background noise.
-Say thank you to your teacher: This is a good habit that you should do starting from now. Although it seems quite simple, a word of gratitude can make your teacher happy and the knowledge that you acquired will have a greater blessings insha-Allah.

Islam encourage us to;
1. Ask those who're more knowledgeable (An-Nahl:43) if you have any concerns or question regarding a matter that you didn't know. Make sure that the person is related to the field of your concern. For example, vaccine. You should go to the doctors as they're an expertise in the area of the knowldge, not just depend on your own assumption.
2.Recall sth to strengthen your memorization ( Al-Isra': 41). In quran, many verses are repeated over and over again in order to serve as a constant reminder for ourselves.
3. Proactive in doing good deeds (Fatir: 32). Stay away from activities that doesn't benefit you. Instead, use your free time wisely.
4. Allah asks us to put our best effort and rely on Him; Tawakkal (Najm:39). Be content with the outcome and believe that He has laid a greater plan for you.

Ihsan= Al Husnu/Jamal= Beautiful/nice
- In Islam Ihsan is divided into 3 parts; Ihsan between a muslim with His Lord, with other creation of Allah SWT and with his 'amal. By practicing ihsan in our life, we will have a greater blessing in the actions that were done as we're being conscious of Allah SWT and put our best effort into it.

Escathology
-Study of the knowledge of Akhirah;a branch of theology studies. This study emphasis that the date of the Day of Judgement is only known to Allah SWT and we have no way of knowing it.
-Right now,there are a lot of signs of the Day of Judgement that already took place.For instance,the birth of Rasulullah SWT, the competition amongst the people in building high towers and more. It is only a matter of time before the trumpet is blown and we all be resurrected from death. Therefore, we should prepare ourselves with plenty of good deeds and strong faith in Allah SWT.

Ummu Haram was the Prophet's maternal aunt whom he regarded as his own mother. Whenever Rasulullah(SAW) was feeling down, he would go to her house to seek for her comfort till he feel much better.
.
One day, as Rasulullah(SAW) went to her house, he fell asleep while his aunt was preparing for their meal. Soon after he woke up, Ummu Haram saw his happy face and began to ask about it. Rasulullah (SAW) mentioned,

”Some people of my ummah were shown to me (in my dream) fighting in the way of Allah, sailing in the middle of the seas like kings on the thrones (or he said) like kings sitting on their thrones."

Ummu Haram asked Rasulullah(SAW) to pray for her to be included  as one of the people. Later on, he assured her that she will be amongst them. Many years later after the death of Rasulullah (SAW), during Uthman's caliphate, the dream finally came true and she accompanied her husband in the first Islamic naval attack against Cyprus.
.
Ummu Haram died and was buried in Cyprus and today, there is a Mosque adjacent to her grave which was built by the Ottomans in her honour.

ISLAM? IMAN? IHSAN?

On today session we discussed about the Hadith of Jibreel, also known as 'Ummu Sunnah'. This hadith began with the appearance of a man, which are not known to the companions who were present at the moment, coming and sitting closely with his knees touching Rasulullah's (pbuh).

They had such a long conversation where he asked Rasulullah (pbuh) about 3 things in particular; Islam, Iman and Ihsan. Everytime Rasulullah (pbuh) gave his answer to  the question, the man would reply "You've spoken the truth". The reply that was given left the companions in astonishment, wondering who the man might be and why did he behave in such way. It is later on that Rasulullah (pbuh) informed them about the identity of the man, which was Jibreel a.s who came to teach them about their faith.

Why Allah test you?
-Remind us that we were created to worship Him.
This purpose of life was meant to be fulfilled by us; It differ    one with true faith from others who lack of faith.
-Purify and wash away our sins
Allah wants to save us from the hellfire and punishment of    the hereafter.
-Strengthen Iman and faith
Allah want to refine us, out of His love and mercy so that     we didn't only attain paradise but also the highest rank of         the Prophets and the righteous. Everyone will have their own moment of lowest point when they feel so vulnerable. If we can look at different perspective, Allah didn't give us a pitfall, rather He gave us a spring board to achieve a much better position in His sight compare to before.

It's hard  to deal with the uncertainties that is present in this life and just as everybody else,it's normal that we feel anxious about it. But we shouldn't let ourselves stay in the zone forever as it can make us feel depress and corrupt our faith in Allah SWT. I hope that one day I can break through the shackles of these uncertainties by constantly reminding myself that everything is happening by His will and that He is the best Planner. Of course,He's going to unfold my life with many surprises and challenges but I shouldn't forget that no matter how hard it is, He will be always here by my side to help me.

Believe in the Books
-Taurah, Bible, Quran,Zabur
-sent down from Allah SWT as an affirmation and prove of the truth that was delivered by the Prophets.
-We as muslims are obligated to follow and applied all the rules   found in the Quran in our daily lives.
-Although the original text of the other 3 books had been altered, we still have to believe that indeed Allah had sent it down to the people a long time ago.

We rarely question ourselves about our convictions towards the 6 pillars of iman which need to be checked from time to time and how important it is in maintaining our beliefs and prevent us from going astray. I pray that Allah make my convictions in these first 3 pilars grow day by day that whenever or wherever I am, I become conscious in everything that I do, alligning it with the teachings of Islam,Amin.

Adab Or Ahkam which one is more important?

Adab Or Ahkam which one is more important?

# data[].attributes.body
Adab: referring to prescribed Islamic ettiquette
-Manners of conduct that Rasulullah SAW used while interacting with the world around him.Whether towards his companions, enemies, wives, animals or even the environments.
-Islam hold morality in high regard and it is deeply rooted in our principle of faith. One can't claim himself as a true believer if he neglected to implement adab in his life.Having a good moral may strengthen our faith and also serve as a way of inviting people to Islam.

Ahkam: System of rules based on the revelation of Allah SWT and the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, followed by the consensus of ulama'(Ijma') and analogical reasoning(Qiyas).
-5 rulings includes; Waajib, Mustahaab, Mubaah, Makrooh and Haraam.
-Serve as a guide to human life and an enforcement of justice laid out by Allah SWT upon His slaves in this world.
-It helps to build discipline among ourselves as we are obligated to comply to the rules. (Al Jathiyyah:18)

In this case we concluded that Adab is more important than ahkam as it has to be implemented and applied wherever or whatever situation that we're in. Whereas, Ahkam has a more specific objective that is required before it can be carried out (in certain cases).
