Based on the poster above, the conclusion of the explanation on hikmah in the six pillars of Iman is that each of these beliefs serves not only as a fundamental tenet of faith but also carries deeper wisdom that guides a Muslim’s actions, thoughts, and outlook on life. These pillars are not just intellectual affirmations but are meant to shape the believer’s worldview, instill virtues, and lead to a balanced life.

SUMMARY

In summary, There are type type of Qada' which are Qada al-Mubram is the unchangeable will of Allah, whereas Qada al-Mu'allaq is conditional and may be influenced by human actions, prayer, or repentance. Both concepts help illustrate the balance in Islamic thought between the divine will and human responsibility.

SUMMARY

In summary, Ihsan is a way of living and worshiping that is intimately tied to the eschatological reality of the Day of Judgment. Both concepts urge Muslims to strive for excellence in their actions, with the firm belief that their deeds will be weighed in the Hereafter. The awareness of eschatology should inspire individuals to perfect their acts of worship, as they know these actions will determine their eternal destiny.

The story of Prophet Ibrahim and his father:

Story of Prophet Ibrahim and His Father

1. Ibrahim’s Message to His Father: Prophet Ibrahim’s father, Azar, was an idol worshiper. Ibrahim tried to guide him to worship the one true God (Allah), telling him that idols cannot help or hear prayers.

2. Respectful Communication: Even though Azar was angry and rejected Ibrahim’s message, Ibrahim spoke to him kindly and respectfully, urging him to believe in Allah. Ibrahim never disrespected his father.

3. Father’s Rejection: Azar rejected Ibrahim’s call to faith and threatened to punish him if he continued. Ibrahim stayed calm and said he would pray for his father’s guidance but would not stop following Allah.

4. Separation: Eventually, since Azar refused to believe, Ibrahim had to separate from him. Allah told Ibrahim not to pray for his father anymore because he refused to accept the truth.

Key Lessons:

Respect for parents: Ibrahim treated his father with kindness, even when they disagreed.

Firmness in faith: Ibrahim stayed true to his belief in Allah, even when his father rejected it.

Praying for parents: Ibrahim continued to pray for his father’s guidance, showing compassion even when his father did not listen.

This story teaches the importance of respecting parents while staying firm in one’s faith, especially when there is a disagreement.

WISH

The session is very enjoyable because the storytelling is quite smooth and easy to understand.

SUMMARY

Concept of ḥikmah (wisdom or positive values) have been introduced in which it is derived from ʿibādah (acts of worship).

In our first week together, we focus on building a strong foundation — both in understanding and in relationships.

ḥikmah — the deep wisdom and positive values that can be nurtured through worship (ʿibādah). Worship in Islam isn’t just about rituals; it’s about transformation. Each act of worship is a chance to grow in character and draw closer to Allah.

🌱 1. Niyyah (Intention):

A sincere intention connects our actions to our faith. It turns something ordinary into something meaningful. When our niyyah is for Allah alone, even the smallest deeds carry great weight.

💪 2. ʿAmal (Practice/Action):

Intentions must be followed by action. ʿAmal refers to how we live out our faith. This means striving to perform worship correctly and sincerely, but ensuring our daily actions reflect the values of Islam — kindness, honesty, patience, and more.

✨ 3. Iḥsān (Excellence/Spiritual Virtue):

This is the highest level of faith — to worship Allah as though you see Him, even if you cannot see Him, knowing that He sees you.
Iḥsān is about beauty, sincerity, and excellence in everything we do. It means going beyond just ticking boxes in worship — we pray with focus, give with heart, fast with reflection. Iḥsān shapes not just our rituals but our character, making us better people both inside and out.

This isn't about fighting a war. The effort you make to push away distractions and concentrate on Allah – that is a form of Jihād. You're fighting against your own worldly thoughts and temptations to be fully present with your Creator.

REFLECTION

This usrah session taught me some many new and facinating things that i just knew by figuring out why we worship and getting our intentions right while smoothly inserting prophets' stories, then i connect those acts to what the Quran says.

I had a great time bonding with students from different course and we have exchange our thoughts without looking at out education background and it truly makes me lighthearted. Every session the facilitator provides us fun games to make a ice breaking and make the learning process chill and enjoyable within islamic concept.
