Man's Nature

Man is by his innate nature very weak, deeply powerless and very poor. His humanness has given him a bond to the universe, despite the fact that the evanescence of the things that he loves.

Intellect shows him high ambitions and lasting fruits. Yet his reach is short, lifespan is short, his capacities are slight and he is of short patience.

The spirit of such character needs to present its state at the court of the Almighty and the Compassionate, knocking on His door trough Solat.

Ihsan

Ihsan in Islam means doing good, fulfilling duties or completing any productive task with excellence, care and best effort. Ihsan from "حسن" means beauty, goodness and perfection.

Ikhlas

Ikhlas ensures the actions are done purely for Allah without seeking praise.

E.g: When praying or giving charity, Ikhlas ensures the act is for Allah alone. Ikhlas also purifies the heart and Ihsan perfects the action.

Verified Faith (Iman Al-Tahqiqi)

A deep, unwavering belief in Allah, where one recognizes His constant presence and guidance. It leads to turning to Allah alone for help and avoid reliance on others which reflects the highest level of Ihsan.

Following Sunnah

Striving for excellence and sincerity in one's actions and worship by practising the examples demonstrated by the Prophet S.A.W.

E.g: Sincerity in Worship.

Seeking Excellence in Deeds.

Pray (Solat)

Solat is the spiritual ascension of a believer , bringing them closer to Allah as if we are having a conversation with Allah, Prophet S.A.W and the angels. Ihsan- Worshiping Allah as if we see Him, knowing He sees us.

Iman is to believe in Allah, His angels, books, messengers, the Last Day, and providence. Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him. When asked about the Doomsday, the Prophet mentioned signs like the slave girl giving birth to her mistress and shepherds building tall structures. The man was later revealed to be Gabriel, teaching the religion (Islam).

Appreciation for the nature and environment in Islam

# data[].attributes.body
In Islam, nature and the environment are seen as signs of God's creation, reflecting His wisdom and power. The Quran encourages appreciation and care for the environment, emphasizing stewardship (khalifah) and balance (mizan).

Islam also discouraged Wastefulness and encourage kindness to animals, plants, and natural resources. Muslims are taught to respect and protect the earth as a trust (amanah) from God, ensuring sustainability for future generations.

Quranic Verse:

“And do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption.”

– Surah Al-Baqarah (2:60)

Hadith:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

"The earth has been made for me a place of worship and a means of purification."

Acquisition of Ḥikmah (Positive Values) from ʿIbādah

🔹 Setting the Right Niyyah (Intention)

Niyyah is the internal intention or purpose behind every act of worship. In Islam, it’s not enough to simply do the act , but it must be done sincerely for the sake of Allah, without seeking praise or reward from others.

The quality of worship depends on niyyah. If the intention is pure, even small acts are rewarded greatly.

Eg: Two people may pray in the same way, but one does it for Allah and the other for people to see — only the first will be accepted by Allah.

🔹 Applying the Right ʿAmal (Practices)

ʿAmal refers to physical and spiritual actions in line with the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It is not enough to have intention, but the act must also be correctly done according to Sunnah and Sharīʿah.

Right action shows obedience, discipline, and respect for divine guidelines.

Eg: Someone performs wuḍūʾ (ablution) and prays as the Prophet did, not only with the right intention but with correct practice.

🔹 Internalising Iḥsān (Spiritual Excellence)

Iḥsān means to worship Allah as though you see Him. It is the highest level of faith, where your actions are driven by full awareness of Allah’s presence.

Iḥsān turns routine worship into deeply spiritual experiences, building sincerity, mindfulness, and love of Allah.

Eg: A person gives charity privately, knowing Allah sees them, even if no one else does.

Reasons and Sources of Ḥikmah from ʿIbādah

The main goal of fasting is to develop self-control and God-consciousness.

Here comes the end of our usrah 2 sessions for 2024/2025. Alhamdulillah, throughout this meaningful journey, I have gained so much knowledge and insight, especially on the core pillars of Islam such as ibadah- salah, sawm, zakat, hajj. These lessons have deepened my understanding of the responsibilities we hold as Muslims.
