• In my opinion, usrah assistant needs to be the one that will know how to engage with usrah members, however i also think usrah member should also support what UA do for their usrah.

• Other than that, usrah’s venue is just too far from mahallah which make it hard for student to go. So personally, i prefer for usrah to have a nearer venue that will not burden students to go

From this semester’s usrah, I could say I learned a lot of new information about religion, studies and life.

I also met some kind and great people in this usrah!

This semester’s usrah taught me about the we should do and don’t as a student. I learned a lot about Ibadah that we used to do but still didn’t know the details behind it. I also learned that we need to think well of others

In this semester, I did all of my part in the usrah assignment.

1. On the first assignment, I record a video of me explaining about one of the point we get when we’re fasting, which is Seeking for forgiveness from Allah

2. The second assignment needs me to explain about things that will cancel our prayer

3. Other than that, I did a summary for the topic about Virtues Found in Salah with Khushu, Reasons and Sources of Hikmah from Ibadah⁠

4. ⁠I also did the summary for the topic Ablution, Tayamum and Khushu, Zakat and Sadaqat and the last one is Fasting and its Virtues

1. Zakah (Obligatory Charity)

Zakah is a mandatory religious duty for Muslims who meet specific wealth requirements.

• Requirement: It is one of the five pillars of Islam.

• Conditions: It is only required once a person's wealth reaches a minimum threshold (Nisab) and has been held for one lunar year (Hawl).

• Recipients: It must be given to specific categories of people, such as the poor, the needy, and those in debt

• Purpose: It functions as a "purification" of wealth.

2. Sadaqah (Voluntary Charity)

Sadaqah is a voluntary act of giving done out of compassion or to seek extra blessings.

• Requirement: It is not mandatory; it can be given by anyone at any time.

• No conditions: There is no Nisab or minimum amount required to give Sadaqah.

• Flexible: It can be given to anyone in need, not just the specific categories defined for Zakah.

• While usually money, Sadaqah can also include simple acts of kindness

1. Wuduk (Ablution)

• Must-Do Steps (Rukun): You must have intention, wash your face, wash arms to the elbows, wipe part of the head, wash feet to the ankles, and follow this order.

• To be Valid: You must be Muslim, use pure water, and

ensure nothing (like waterproof nail polish) blocks water

from the skin.

• What Breaks It: Using the toilet, deep sleep, losing

consciousness, or touching genitals with the palm.

• Good to Do (Sunnah): Wash parts three times, use a

toothbrush (siwak), and recite a prayer after finishing

2. Tayammum (Dry Ablution)

• When to Use: Use this if there is no water available or if

using water would make an illness worse.

• How to Do (Rukun): Have intention, wipe your face with

clean dust, and wipe both hands using two "taps" on the

dust

3. Khusyu' (Focus in Prayer)

• What it is: Being calm, humble, and understanding that you are talking to Allah. It is a recommended practice (sunnah), not a mandatory requirement.

• What Stops It: Having your mind stuck on worldly things

or feeling distracted by worries.

• How to Get It: Prepare early and pray in a quiet place.

1. Don't pray if you are very hungry or need to use the

bathroom.

2. Look at the spot where your head touches the ground (tempat sujud).

3. Move slowly and calmly, and try to understand the

meaning of the words you say

1. Prayer (Salah)

Based on Surah Al- Ankabut (29:45), prayer serves as a spiritual shield:

•Restraint: It prohibits immorality and wrongdoing.

• Awareness: It instills a constant remembrance and fear of Allah.

• Sincerity: It encourages Ikhlas (sincerity) and obedience.

2. Fasting (Sawm)

As mentioned in Surah Al- Baqarah, fasting was decreed so that believers may become righteous:

• Character building: It develops taqwa (God- consciousness), empathy for others, and self-discipline.

• Spiritual Growth: It helps believers draw closer to Allah by recognizing His constant observation.

• Protection: It weakens the influence of Satan and fosters more acts of worship.

3. Charity (Zakah)

Derived from Quranic teachings, Zakah serves both the giver and the community:

• Purification: It purifies the wealth and the soul of the believer.

• Growth: It is a means for Allah to cause an "increase" or blessing in one's life.

• Reassurance: The prayers and blessings associated with charity provide spiritual reassurance

4. Pilgrimage (Hajj)

Hajj acts as a rigorous exercise in discipline and devotion:

• Commandment: It trains believers to strictly follow Allah's commands and avoid prohibited acts.

• Etiquette: Pilgrims must actively avoid indecent speech, disputes, and disobedience.

• Focus: It requires staying entirely devoted to good deeds and worship

# data[].attributes.body
Definition: It is the presence of the heart and mind before Allah S.W.T..

• It involves calmness, humility, and attentiveness rather than just physical movements

• Also describe as the “Soul of Salah” as it transforms hearts and actions

Character Building

1. Al- Taah (Submission & Loyalty)

• Involves sincere obedience and acceptance of Allah’s commands

2. Al- Jihad (Striving)

• Represents the inner struggle (jihad al-nafs) against laziness and distractions

3. Muhasabah (Self- reflection)

• Act as a moment for a “self-check” to evaluate intentions and actions

4. Iffah (Modesty & Self-Restraint)

• Guards the individual against sinful acts and unjust deeds

5. Tawaddu (Humility)

•Removes pride and arrogance by recognizing total dependence on Allah

Impact on the Individual

1. Spiritual Growth: Strengthens the relationship with Allah and reinforces faith (iman).

2. Behavioral Change: Improves self-control and shapes inner character (akhlaq) to prevent sinful behavior
