Adab in Knowledge:

Adab, or proper manners in seeking knowledge, involves showing respect towards teachers, being humble, and sincerely seeking to learn for the sake of Allah. A student should never hesitate to ask questions and should listen attentively, as seen in the behavior of angel Jibril during his interaction with Prophet Muhammad. Learning requires patience, politeness, and the acknowledgment that knowledge comes from Allah.

The Quran as a Holy Book:

The Quran is the central religious text of Islam, revealed to Prophet Muhammad. It contains guidance on all aspects of life, including spiritual, ethical, and social matters. The Quran emphasizes the Oneness of Allah, the role of prophets, and the final Day of Judgment, serving as the ultimate source of knowledge for Muslims.

The presentation “USRAH 1: Pillars of Islam” covers Hadith Jibril, emphasizing key Islamic concepts: Islam (submission to Allah), Iman (faith), and Ihsan (excellence in worship). It describes the interaction between Prophet Muhammad and the angel Jibril, where Jibril teaches about faith, Islamic practices, divine destiny, and signs of the Hour (Day of Judgment). The presentation also highlights the importance of the Pillars of Islam in strengthening one’s relationship with Allah and fellow humans, refining character, and reinforcing knowledge-seeking manners.

Belief in angels is part of Islamic faith, recognizing their existence and roles as beings created by Allah from light, with specific duties. Angels are unseen, have no weaknesses, and their full number is unknown.

This belief strengthens faith, spiritual awareness, and responsibility, helping Muslims understand the spiritual system. Key angels include Jibril, Mikail, Israfil, and others.

To strengthen this belief, study Islamic teachings, internalize the role of angels, and apply it in daily life.

“Ihsan & Eschatology” explores the concept of Ihsan, which is striving for excellence in worship, as though you see Allah, and being aware that He sees you. Ihsan emphasizes sincerity, correctness, and completeness in actions. The eschatology section covers Islamic beliefs about the End Times, focusing on signs of the Last Day, resurrection, final judgment, and the outcomes of heaven and hell. It describes key signs of the Hour, including the return of Jesus, the rise of false prophets, and other major and minor signs.

ADAB covers Islamic etiquette, particularly in relationships with parents, neighbors, and as a student. It emphasizes respect, care, and gratitude toward parents, alongside the importance of helping and being considerate of neighbors. It also stresses the significance of a student’s manners, such as respecting teachers, seeking knowledge sincerely, and being humble. Benefits of these actions include divine rewards, stronger relationships, and societal harmony, aligning with Islamic values of empathy, peace, and unity.

In Islam, nature and the environment are considered signs of God’s creation, and humans are appointed as stewards (Khalifah) responsible for protecting and maintaining the balance (Mizan) of nature. This stewardship emphasizes appreciating nature through reflection on its beauty, avoiding waste, caring for animals and plants, conserving the environment, and preventing harmful actions like pollution and deforestation.

The benefits of appreciating nature include spiritual growth, improved physical and mental health, ongoing charity (Sadagah), sustainability, and fostering an ethical society. Islam teaches sustainability by promoting responsible resource use, avoiding waste, using renewable energy, consuming ethically, conserving water, and preserving nature for future generations.

In Islamic teachings, sustainability is part of worship and fulfilling God’s trust. Acts like planting trees and conserving water are considered ongoing charity, benefiting both present and future generations. These actions also ensure a healthy planet and offer rewards in the afterlife.

Through my participation in Usrah, I’ve grown spiritually and personally, but I also see areas for improvement. Usrah has deepened my understanding of Islam, helping me strengthen my connection with Allah, especially through prayer and reflection on the Qur’an. However, I need to improve my mindfulness during worship and increase my dhikr.

In terms of personal development, I’ve become more aware of my character, striving to be more patient, humble, and kind. Time management remains a challenge, and I aim to be more organized. Usrah has also heightened my sense of social responsibility, encouraging me to engage more in community service and live more sustainably, though I know I can contribute more actively.

While I participate in discussions, I can still improve my confidence in sharing ideas. Moving forward, I aim to enhance my worship, personal discipline, and community involvement, and I pray for strength to apply what I’ve learned in Usrah to become a better Muslim.

My wish for Usrah is to start earlier, allowing for better time management. I hope for more compact and focused discussions that deliver key points efficiently, helping us engage meaningfully while respecting everyone’s schedules. This way, we can grow spiritually, strengthen our community, and apply what we learn more effectively in our daily lives.

The process involves the development of intellectual, spiritual, and ethical aspects. Technically, hikmah refers to divine wisdom granted by Allah and intellectual creativity. Islamic da'wah should be approached holistically, taking into account the cultural and environmental context of Malaysia. Allah acts according to His will and in alignment with what He has decreed.

The saying:

لحِكْمَةُ ضَالَّةُ المُؤْمِنِ فَحَيْثُ وَجَدَهَا فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا

translates to:

Wisdom is the lost property of the believer; wherever he finds it, he has the greatest right to it.

The Virtues of Zakah and Sadaqah

Zakah (obligatory charity) and Sadaqah (voluntary charity) serve to purify both wealth and the soul, eliminating greed and selfishness while encouraging generosity and compassion (Tazkiyyah). They also cultivate trust in Allah (Tawakkul), as giving charity demonstrates reliance on His provision.

Moreover, these acts of charity strengthen the bonds of the Muslim community (Ukhuwwah) by fostering unity and a sense of shared responsibility. Surah Al-Zalzalah (99:7-8) reminds believers that every deed, including charity, will be accounted for on the Day of Judgment. By addressing the needs of others, charity promotes brotherhood and helps build a caring and supportive society.

In essence, Zakah and Sadaqah are not merely financial contributions but spiritual obligations that purify wealth, deepen faith, and strengthen communal ties. These practices are vital for establishing a just and compassionate society, ensuring mutual support and unity within the Ummah.

The Connection Between Tadhiyyah (Sacrifice) and Hajj

Tadhiyyah and Hajj are deeply intertwined, symbolizing Prophet Ibrahim's devotion and willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah. As part of Hajj, Muslims perform Qurbani (the act of sacrifice) to demonstrate submission, humility, and selflessness, while also sharing the meat with those in need.

Gaining Taqwa from Hajj

Hajj nurtures taqwa by purifying the heart, fostering complete submission to Allah, and increasing His remembrance through sacred rituals such as Tawaf (circumambulation) and standing at Arafat. It promotes humility and equality, reminding pilgrims of their accountability before Allah.

Conclusion

Hajj enhances taqwa through acts of worship and self-reflection, while Tadhiyyah highlights obedience and selflessness. Together, they strengthen a Muslim's faith, devotion, and connection to Allah.
