In Week 6, we were assigned to present a play based on the title "Why Is My Faith Always Tested?" Through this activity, I gained a deeper understanding of the reasons behind the trials I face in my life as a Muslim. It reminded me that tests in life are not punishments, but rather signs of Allah’s love. The more we are tested, the more opportunities we have to gain reward,if we respond with patience and strong faith. Even daily struggles like stress or sadness can be a source of reward when faced with 'sabar'. This presentation encouraged me to reflect on my own challenges and reminded me that every hardship is a chance to rise, not a reason to fall. I’ve learned to remain patient, strengthen my faith, and continue to rely on Allah through every difficulty.

From attending usrah sessions, I have learned important lessons about showing respect and good manners towards my parents and neighbors, strengthening my belief in Allah and the Prophet, and preparing for the Day of Judgment. I also understand that the Qur’an is the ultimate book of guidance in life. These teachings remind me to appreciate nature and all the blessings around me, encouraging me to live with gratitude and faith and so on. Because of these lessons, I am constantly trying to become a better version of myself ,whether in my studies, character, or relationship with Allah.

How ibadah shapes a productive muslim lifestyle.

Ibadah plays a major role in shaping a productive Muslim lifestyle by building discipline, purpose, and strong character. The fixed times of prayer help Muslims organise their daily schedule, encouraging punctuality, responsibility, and effective time management. Acts of worship such as solah, fasting, zakat, and hajj also develop self-control and patience—Muslims learn to prioritise Allah’s commands over personal desires, restrain themselves from temptations, and manage their emotions with maturity. Beyond rituals, ibadah includes sincere actions, good manners, and pure intentions, guiding Muslims to live with focus and meaning. Ibadah also promotes social responsibility; through zakat and sadaqah, Muslims practise empathy, kindness, and cooperation, helping to build a more united and caring community. Ultimately, ibadah gives Muslims a clear sense of purpose and motivation: when daily activities such as studying and working are viewed as acts of worship, a person becomes more driven, consistent, and balanced in both worldly and spiritual goals. As the Qur’an reminds us in Surah Al-An’am (6:162), everything we do—our prayers, sacrifices, living and dying—is for Allah, which inspires a truly productive and purposeful life.

Summary of What I Gained from Usrah 2:

Throughout Usrah 2, I gained a deeper understanding of how Islamic acts of worship shape our lives as Muslims. Every topic we learned encouraged me to reflect on myself and improve my relationship with Allah as well as with the people around me. I learned the importance of beginning everything with the correct intention and following it with actions that are in line with Islamic teachings. Among the main lessons were those related to prayer, fasting, zakah, and hajj. I also learned in detail about wudu’, tayammum, the conditions for a valid prayer, and the pillars of solah. The topic on khushu’ taught me to pray with greater focus, calmness, and sincerity. Several moral values were emphasised, such as tawaddu’ (humility), ‘iffah (self-restraint), sabr (patience), takrim (respect), rahmah (kindness), and tawakkul (reliance on Allah). These values guide me to become a better Muslim in terms of behaviour and character. Usrah also highlighted the importance of brotherhood—caring for others, supporting friends, and contributing to the community. In conclusion, I realised that every act of worship carries moral lessons that help improve our conduct, and Islam teaches us to balance our worship of Allah with good character towards others
