Everyone was scared during her presentation but we also want to hear about it. She told us about a viral post on Tiktok where a guy threatened a few girls with a voodoo dolls. That guy slide into the girls dm on Instagram and told them to give their number if they don't want to be possessed.

Our facilitator , Maira shared with us 3 videos regarding manners towards parents, neighbours and knowledge (teachers).

1) Manners towards parents
As children, we should appreciate our parents before it's too late. We should spend most of our time with them instead of doing useless activity. Praying for their health and life is one of the thing that we can do as their child.
In the video, the ustazah mentioned that "don't wait until it's too late cause when their time come, we will suffer the consequences of longing for them and there's nothing that we can do anymore"

2) Manners towards neighbours
As we all know, neighbours is the closest person beside our family in our circle because they literally lives next door from us. We should build and maintain a good relationship with our neighbour because they are the one who will help us in case there's any emergency occur. The video mentioned that if we have a non-muslim neighbour , we are obligated to spread the teaching of Islam to them and we have to show a good behaviour and manner towards them.

3) Manners towards knowledge and teachers
Allah SWT mentioned in the holy Quran that the degree of the teachers are the same with parents. We must respect our teachers in any way that possible such as our words, behaviour and action. Based on the story from the video, Imam Syafie was really mindful regarding his manners towards Imam Malik as carefully he flipped the page of book silently in order to avoid Imam Malik from being disturbed.

One of our usrah members shared with us the differences between the syiah and the sunni. It's very interesting topic for us to know because this issue exist in our society until now.

- Vast majority of the 1.6 billion Muslims in the world are Sunni.
- 10% to 13% are Shia Muslims.
- 87% to 90% are Sunni Muslims.

- Most of Shia Muslims live in four countries :

Iran

Pakistan

Iraq

India

- Major differences between syia and sunni :

the way they (syia) perform their prayers (salah), they only performed prayers 3x by combining the prayers a day while the sunni performed 5x a day as being taught by Rasulullah SAW to us.

Sunnis cross their arms, while syia keep their arms by their sides.

The sunni performed their pilgrimage (hajj) at Holy Land which located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia while the syia's Holy Land is located in Iran .

Today's hadith sharing were presented by Amani :)

“Actions are but by intentions and every man shall have only that which he intended. Thus he whose migration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his migration was for that for which he migrated.”

Why intention (niah) is important :
- To differentiate between act of worship and customs.

- To define the purpose (qasad) of the act of worship.

Positive impact by having a good intention
- Count as "close" to Allah (qurbah) and being rewarded .

Lesson learnt from hadith :
- Everything we do has to be intended for the sake of Allah (swt).
- A good action with the wrong intention will not get us any reward in the Hereafter.

Eschatology helps us (muslim) to understand the supernatural aspect like the afterlife, the existence of Heaven and Hell, and  the day of the Judgement.

It also helps us to understand the details of the "barzakh" state that will be experienced by every each one of us.

This terminology also explains to us the major and minor signs that will happen on the day of Judgement such as the appearance of Dajjal and the topic on Imam Al Mahdi.

7th January, 2022 / WEEK 1

Started the usrah with everyone's brief introduction and our usrah facilitator ask a different but fun question which is "what is our biggest pet peeve?". The answers to that question are very funny as every each one of us have different dislikes.

ACQUISITION OF HIKMAH FROM IBADAH :

Be a good time manager

Every muslim is required to perform an act of worship with the right ways according to Al Quran & As Sunnah. By performing an act of worship like prayers, hajj and fasting, it will silently changed us into someone can manage their time wisely and productively. In ensuring the consistency, we have to prioritise our duty as a slave to Allah SWT before any worldly affairs.

Form a noble personality

Performing an act of worship will shape one's soul into becoming a good person. A muslim who worship Allah SWT with a firm belief towards Him will be granted with noble values such as self-discipline, tolerance and cooperation. All those good nobles can be obtained through the reading of Quran, performing the prayers and fasting.

WAYS TO OBTAIN HIKMAH IN OUR IBADAH :

1. NIAT

A sincere person who perform an act of worship is different from someone who have hidden agenda while doing good deeds.

All of our acts is based on our intention (niat) and it will determine the outcome.

If someone do something sincerely to obtain Allah SWT forgiveness, that person is considered as a good muslim.

If someone do a good deed just to please or gain praises from people, their good deed will not be accepted by Allah SWT.

2. AMAL

“Among the acts and good deeds that will reach a believer after his death are:

knowledge which he learned and then spread;

a righteous son whom he leaves behind;

a copy of the Qur’an that he leaves as a legacy;

a mosque that he built;

a house that he built for wayfarers;

a canal that he dug;

or charity that he gave during his lifetime when he was in good health.

These deeds will reach him after his death.” (Ibn Majah)"

Based on the above hadith, we can see that our Prophet SAW has told us what are the good deeds that will benefit us even after our death. All of those deeds can be done if we have the determination to be a good muslim both in this world and the hereafter.

3. DALIL
Abu Umamah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him said ;

“Allah Almighty said: The most beloved act with which my servant worships me is sincerity for my sake.”

Our beloved Prophet SAW has mentioned in the above hadith regarding the importance of sincerity in performing an act of worship. A muslim who perform an act of ibadah solely for Allah SWT will be accepted as a good muslim.

4. IHSAN

“Verily, Allah has enjoined excellence (ihsan) with regard to everything. So, when you kill, kill in a good way; when you slaughter, slaughter in a good way; so everyone of you should sharpen his knife, and let the slaughtered animal die comfortably.”
[Muslim]

The above hadith reprimand us (muslims) on the importance of practising "Ihsan" in our life. If a muslim practice "Ihsan" in his/her life, they will be able to reach the highest virtues in doing good deeds by Allah SWT sides.

As mentioned in hadith Jibril ;
"Ihsan is to worship God as though you see Him, and if you cannot see Him, then indeed He sees you".

We (muslim) must perform any act of worship with the motivation of being watch by Allah SWT.

# data[].attributes.body
DATE : 14th January 2022 / WEEK 2

Our facilitator told share with us three different yet relatable stories regarding hikmah.

1st story : Story of hikmah regarding Ubaidillah bin Umar Al-Qawariry and congregational prayers.

This noble man named Ubaidillah bin Umar Al-Qawariry is a frequent visitors at the mosque in his neighbourhood as he never missed a day without going there to perform congregational prayers. One day, someone's visited his home and stay for quite some time resulted Ubaidillah to missed his routine of going to the mosque because he was entertaining the guest. After the guest returned, Ubaidillah walked to the mosques and find anyone who haven't perform the prayer but he did not found one. He came home and perform the isya' prayers 27 times.

2nd story : Story of how prayers (solat) can change and prevent us from committing sinful act

A beautiful married woman who always get harassed whenever she goes out with a man who keep asking her to commit adultery with him. When she told her husband about that unfortunate and ridiculous incident, he told her to accept that man request with one condition ;
"before that man request can be fulfilled, he must perform congregational prayers (jemaah) with that woman husband for 40 days" and he did so.
After 40 days, that woman told that man that his wish is granted because he managed to fulfilled her husband condition but that man declined because he has changed into a better muslim.

3rd story : One dates (fruit) that disturbs one's prayer
One humble man buy dates from the market and he took one ripe dates without the seller permission and because of this action, he felt anxious whenever he performed prayers. His friends ( a group of noble man) ghosted him and he asked them the reason. One of his friend who has special ability asked him to look back on all of his previous action that made him felt uneasy and anxious.

HIKMAH WE OBTAINED FROM IBADAH

1. PRAYERS (SOLAT)

Al-Ankabut (29:45)
Recite, [O Muḥammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do.
- Saheeh International

A muslim who perform prayers (solat) will be guarded from committing sinful acts (fahsya').

fahsya' : someone's who love to commit wrongdoings and immoral acts .

In order to perform a perfect act of prayers, we (muslims) have to oblige to all the rules mentioned in the Quran followed by the teachings of Rasulullah SAW.

A muslim who perform prayers according to our religion teachings will have a firm faith towards Allah SWT that will prevent him from indulging in sinful acts.

<>QUALITY OF PRAYERS THAT WILL PREVENT US FROM COMMITTING SINFUL ACT

1.  One's must be sincere in performing prayers towards Allah SWT.

2. In becoming a good muslim, we have to show fear (khasyah) towards Allah SWT along with praises for Him only.

3. While performing prayers, we must completely leave all the worldly affairs and focus solely on Allah SWT.

2. FASTING

Al Baqarah (2:183)
"O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous."
- Saheeh International

The act of fasting can bring us (muslim) numerous benefits.

We can manifest "taqwa" while fasting according to the will of Allah SWT.

taqwa : consciousness of God, fear of Allah SWT.

<> Ways to obtain taqwa in our life :

While fasting, we can relate ourselves with the unfortunate that have no source of food and drinks in their daily life.

We can prevent ourselves from committing sinful deeds while fasting with increasing the amount of ibadah such as performing prayers and reading Al-Quran.

3. ALM ( ZAKAT)

AT TAUBAH (9:103)
(O Prophet)! "Take alms out of their riches and thereby cleanse them and bring about their growth (in righteousness), and pray for them. Indeed your prayer is a source of tranquillity for them." Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

As a muslim, we are obligated to give out alms (zakat) to the less fortunate people.

Allah SWT will blessed the ones who always give out charity using their wealth to help the poor.

The more we give out as charity , the more Allah SWT will bestow upon us with His blessings.

Zakat can purify us from sinful deeds and prevent us from indulging in things that Allah SWT despised.

4. HAJJ (PILGRIMAGE)

(AL BAQARAH 2:197)
Hajj is [during] well-known months, so whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein [by entering the state of ihram], there is [to be for him] no sexual relations and no disobedience and no disputing during Hajj. And whatever good you do – Allah knows it. And take provisions, but indeed, the best provision is fear of Allah. And fear Me, O you of understanding.
- Saheeh International

There are specific restrictions that we need to avoid from doing while performing hajj.

Performing hajj can taught us on how to be patience in enduring all the hardships without complaining.

Hajj is one of the way to strengthen our bonds with our muslim brothers and sisters from all around the world.

"The origin of khusyu' comes from the softness of the heart, the calm and submissive state of one’s heart.”
- Imam Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali

> Story of one sahabah who continue performing his prayer despite an arrow is stuck in his leg because he did not feel any pain due to his full devotion while worshipping Allah SWT.

KHUSYU' :

Cleanliness and excellence (linguistically)

Purification of certain body parts with water (shariah)

WAYS TO GAIN KHUSYU' :

Full devotion while praying as Allah SWT is in front of us.

Full of manners and courteous before Allah SWT

Forgetting the worldly affairs while worshipping Him.

HOW TO ATTAIN KHUSYU' IN PRAYERS (SOLAT) ?

Perform the ablution (wudhu') in perfect way

Carry out all the requirements of solat

Implement all the pillars of prayers

# data[].attributes.body
DATE : 28th January 2022 / WEEK 4

1) AL-TAAT (LOYALTY)

In order to become a devout muslim, we must perform our prayers in the most focused (khusyu') and perfect way.

To attain khusyu' in prayers is difficult because it is in our nature to be easily disturbed by the worldly affairs.

We (muslims) must teach ourselves to disconnect our mind and soul with the worldly affairs during prayers as practice to attain khusyu'.

2) JIHAD

We must strive for the best in worshipping Allah SWT.

No matter how busy we are, there is nothing can stop or delay us from performing the daily prayers.

As example, if there is not any available transportation for us to go to the mosque, we can just walk there.

This situation is related to one of the companion of Prophet SAW where he was disturbed three times by the devil on his way to the mosque but due to his firm belief and faith towards Allah SWT, he managed to perform the prayers at the mosque.

Secondly, we often struggle to wake up early in the morning at around 3AM to perform the night prayers (tahajjud) because of the persuasion from the devil that keep whispering for us to continue our sleep.

In becoming a devout slave to Allah SWT, we must keep fighting all the temptation and try to wake up to perform the night prayers.

3. MUHASABAH (REFLECTION)

From time to time, we have to look back and do some self-reflection regarding our actions.

We can do some reflection during the night when everyone else is sleeping because we will feel closer to Allah SWT.

One of the benefit that we can gain from this self-reflection is we can improve ourselves in becoming a better muslim.

4. IFFAH (PURITY)

AN NUR (24:33)
But let them who find not [the means for] marriage abstain [from sexual relations] until Allah enriches them from His bounty. And those who seek a contract [for eventual emancipation] from among whom your right hands possess – then make a contract with them if you know there is within them goodness and give them from the wealth of Allah which He has given you. And do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, if they desire chastity, to seek [thereby] the temporary interests of worldly life. And if someone should compel them, then indeed, Allah is [to them], after their compulsion, Forgiving and Merciful.

-Sahih International

As a muslim, we must abstain ourselves from indulging in sinful act like adultery.

We must protect ourselves from any negative behaviour to protect our soul and good name.

5. TAWADDU' (HUMILITY)

Every human is equal and have the same status as Allah SWT slave.

We must abandon any feeling that makes us feel like we are better than anyone else and avoid being a selfish person.

Allah SWT command us to be humble in every action we take in our life.

It's been nothing but a pleasure to get to know all of them, even though we haven't had the chance to meet each other in person. I personally enjoyed having usrah with them because our faci shared a lot of useful knowledge and we also had fun playing some games that made us laugh.
