The Foundations and Teachings of Islam (Hadith Jibril)

One day, the Angel Jibril عليه السلام came to the Prophet ﷺ in the form of a man and sat before him. He asked the Prophet ﷺ about Islam, Iman, Ihsan, and the signs of the Hour.

The Prophet ﷺ replied:

-Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, give charity, fast in Ramadan, and perform pilgrimage to Makkah if able.

-Iman is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and in destiny, both good and bad.

-Ihsan is to worship Allah as though you see Him, and if you cannot see Him, know that He sees you.

As for the Hour (Day of Judgment), the Prophet ﷺ said that the one being asked knows no more than the one asking, but he mentioned its signs, such as when a servant gives birth to her mistress and when barefoot, poor shepherds compete in building tall buildings.

After Jibril left, the Prophet ﷺ told the companions: “That was Jibril, he came to teach you your religion.”

---

Lessons and Teachings

1. Structure of Religion – Islam, Iman, and Ihsan represent three levels of religion: practice, belief, and excellence.

2. Knowledge and Humility – Even the Prophet ﷺ did not know the exact time of the Hour, teaching us humility.

3. Importance of Learning – Jibril came in human form to teach the companions in a powerful, interactive way.

4. True Faith – Real Iman and Ihsan are not just in actions but come from deep sincerity and awareness of Allah.

5. Signs of the End – We should reflect on how the minor signs are appearing in our world today.

Belief In Rasul , Hereafter , Qada' and Qadar.

# data[].attributes.body
​1. Belief in Prophets & Messengers

​Purpose: Allah sent chosen people to teach and guide humanity. They are the best role models.

​The Difference: A Rasul (Messenger) brings a new scripture or set of laws (e.g., Prophet Muhammad ﷺ with the Qur'an). An Nabi (Prophet) continues the teachings of a previous Messenger.

​Core Belief: Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the final Messenger for all of humanity. Muslims must believe in all Prophets and Messengers.

​2. Belief in the Hereafter

​Concept: Life does not end with death. Everyone will be resurrected after death to be judged.

​The Process: All of our deeds in this world will be accounted for.

​Destination: Good people will be rewarded with Paradise (Jannah), while those who disobeyed will be punished in Hell (Jahannam).

​The Lesson: This belief teaches us to live responsibly, do good deeds, and always have hope in Allah's mercy.

​3. Belief in Divine Decree (Qada' & Qadar)

​Meaning: Everything that happens in the world, good or bad, is part of Allah's divine plan and knowledge.

​Key Point: Despite this, humans are given freedom of choice and are held responsible for the choices they make.

​The Wisdom: This belief teaches us to be:

​Grateful during good times.

​Patient during difficult times.

​Trusting in Allah's ultimate wisdom.

The Story of Tamim al-Dari and Dajjal (The False Messiah)

​Tamim al-Dari, a Companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ who was formerly a Christian, recounted a strange journey:

​He and his crew were shipwrecked on an island.

​They met a hairy creature named Al-Jassasah, who told them to find a chained man in a monastery.

​They found a very large man, tightly chained by his hands and feet.

​The chained man, later revealed to be Al-Masih ad-Dajjal, asked them about signs of his imminent emergence:

​Whether Prophet Muhammad ﷺ had appeared among the Arabs.

​If the land of Sham (Syria/Palestine) still had water and crops.

​If the Sea of Galilee (Lake of Tiberias) still contained water.

​If the date palms of Baysan (Jordan/Palestine) still bore fruit.

​Upon hearing their answers, he announced: "I am Al-Masih ad-Dajjal." He declared he would soon be allowed to leave and travel the earth, but Makkah and Madinah would be forbidden to him.

​The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ confirmed the story as true, stating it matched what he had already taught about Dajjal's characteristics.

​Key Lessons

1. ​Dajjal is Real: He exists and will appear near the end of time as the greatest trial for humanity.

2. ​Limited Power: He is restrained until God (Allah) permits his release, and he cannot enter Makkah or Madinah.

3. ​Signs of His Coming: The drying up of the Sea of Galilee and the decline of crops are among the major signs preceding his arrival.

4. ​Great Trial (Fitnah): He will deceive people with false claims of divinity and misleading "miracles." Only those firm in faith will be safe.

​Protection from Dajjal

​The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ advised believers to seek protection by:

​Reciting the first (or last) 10 verses of Surah Al-Kahf.

​Seeking refuge during prayer (before the final salām) with this supplication:

​اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوْذُبِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَالِ

Assalamualaikum and hi ...

This poster briefly introduces the three spiritual levels in Islam:

​Islam (The external aspect): Performing submission and the Pillars of Islam.

​Iman (The internal aspect): Having firm belief through the Pillars of Faith.

​Ihsan (The highest aspect): Achieving the stage of perfection in worship and self-awareness, where a person is constantly conscious of the presence and supervision of Allah.

​Overall, these three concepts—Islam (action/practice), Iman (belief), and Ihsan (spiritual perfection)—are the main pillars for building a Muslim's life that is focused, principled, and constantly close to their Creator.

Assalamualaikum everyone, this is the submission of the final chapter for my Semester 1 Usrah e-portfolio.

MY WISH

1. ​Enhancing Critical Thinking & Problem Solving -I hope Usrah challenges me to think critically and analyze problems from different angles, equipping me with strong problem-solving skills essential for higher education.

2. ​Integrating Knowledge and Spirituality - I aim to learn how to balance worldly knowledge with spiritual wisdom, ensuring my future success is defined by purpose and service, not just achievement.

3. ​Developing Leadership and Communication Skills -Through Usrah, I aspire to become more confident in expressing ideas, leading discussions, and contributing positively to group learning.

4. ​Effective Time Management and Prioritization - I hope Usrah provides practical guidance on managing time and tasks effectively, helping me balance academic demands and personal responsibilities without undue stress.

5. ​Strengthening Faith and Values - I hope Usrah continues to deepen my understanding of Islam, helping me build a strong moral compass to guide my academic and personal decisions.

PERSONAL REFLECTION

1.Acquisition of Knowledge: I realized that I gained a lot of new knowledge from my usrah members because we were able to exchange views when discussing topics.

2.Social Connection: I had the opportunity to meet new friends who are not in the same class as me. I was also very happy when we greeted each other upon passing by in different places.

Suggestions for Improvement

Scheduling: I suggest that usrah continue to be held after Friday prayers, as everyone is already gathered at the mosque during that time.

INTRODUCTION

Zakāh is one of the five pillars of Islam and is compulsory for Muslims who meet the conditions. It is not meant to burden Muslims but to help them become righteous servants of Allah SWT and to improve the well-being of society.

DEFINITION OF ZAKAH

Zakāh literally means growth, purification, and blessing.

Technically, it is a fixed portion of a Muslim’s wealth that must be given to specific groups as commanded by Allah SWT.

Zakāh shows that worship in Islam includes spiritual, social, and material responsibilities.

IMPORTANCE OF ZAKAH

Zakāh is the third pillar of Islam after faith and prayer. Allah SWT often mentions zakāh together with prayer in the Qur’an, showing its great importance in a Muslim’s life.

ZAKAH AND SADAQAH

In the Qur’an, zakāh is sometimes called ṣadaqah. Both involve giving wealth for the sake of Allah, but they are not the same.

Differences:

•Zakāh

-Compulsory

-Fixed amount and specific recipients

-Given at a specific time

•Ṣadaqah

-Voluntary

-No fixed amount or recipients

-Can be given at any time

VIRTUES OF ZAKAH

1. Tawakkul (Reliance on Allah)

-Giving zakāh shows trust in Allah SWT. A Muslim believes that wealth comes from Allah and that He will replace whatever is given in charity.

2. Ukhūwah (Brotherhood)

-Zakāh strengthens brotherhood among Muslims. It helps the poor and needy, reduces selfishness, and builds unity and care within the community.

CONCLUSION

Zakāh connects:

-Humans with Allah SWT through obedience

-Humans with other humans through helping one another

Zakāh purifies wealth, increases faith, promotes unity, and creates a caring and responsible Muslim society.

How Do Prescribed Acts of Ibadah Foster Moral Excellence and Self- Discipline?

How Do Prescribed Acts of Ibadah Foster Moral Excellence and Self- Discipline?

# data[].attributes.body
In this roleplay, we shared about

Prescribed acts of ibadah develop self-discipline and moral excellence by training consistency, obedience, and self-control. Acts such as salah and fasting teach Muslims to manage time, control actions, and remain committed even in difficulty. The Qur'an states that prayer prevents immorality and wrongdoing, showing that ibadah shapes

behaviour, not just ritual practice.

Fasting strengthens patience, humility, and emotional control, as it restrains desires and negative behaviour. The Prophet described fasting as a shield, meaning it protects a person from immoral actions. Ibadah also promotes social responsibility through zakat, which cultivates generosity, empathy, and justice, while purifying wealth and character.

Overall, sincere and consistent ibadah influences daily decision- making, increases awareness of Allah, and produces individuals with strong discipline and excellent character.

My Occupation

As Candidate Number 2, my role was to explain how ibadah, especially fasting, helps develop moral excellence by controlling desires and emotions, as well as how fasting acts as a shield that protects Muslims from immoral behaviour through self-discipline.
