Fasting (puasa): means abstaining from food, drink, smoking, and intimate relations during the daylight hours in Ramadan. Muslims also aim to avoid bad thoughts, actions, and speech (like gossip, anger, and dishonesty) to maintain the purity of the fast.

Why Do Muslims Fast?

To Fulfill the Command of Allah: Fasting is a commandment in the Quran, and it is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. It is seen as an essential act of worship to obey and seek closeness to Allah.

To Develop Piety (Taqwa): Fasting helps purify the soul and teaches self-control, humility, and empathy for others. It encourages gratitude and a stronger connection with Allah.

Spiritual Benefits: It is a time for Muslims to focus more on prayer, recitation of the Quran, and seeking forgiveness. It allows them to cleanse their hearts from negative emotions and focus on self-improvement.

Honestly, I am very happy and fortunate to have met them, and it was a very meaningful encounter for me because they are all kind and supporting! I am thrilled to have them as my usrah members. I hope we can stay connected and remain as a "family", even though we will be apart in the future.💗💗

Not gonna lie, they're all pretty and cute.😭💗

Yeah, although we were not selected as the winners, I can say that we won as "team members" because everyone was very supportive and shared their opinions. It was an excellent example of teamwork and greatly contributed to our collaborative effort.💪🏻💪🏻

For the first time, I heard about the "Hadith Jibril". This hadith recounts that one day, the angel Jibril came to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and asked him several questions. Among the questions asked by the angel Jibril were: ⬇️

# data[].attributes.body
1- What is Islam?

The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) explained that Islam is based on five pillars: declaring the two testimonies of faith, performing prayers, giving zakat (charity), fasting during the month of Ramadan, and performing Hajj if one is able.

2- What is Iman (faith)?

The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) explained that Iman consists of six main articles: belief in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Day of Judgment, and divine predestination, both good and bad.

3- What is Ihsan (excellence)?

The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) explained that Ihsan is to worship Allah as though you see Him, and even if you cannot see Him, you should be aware that He sees you.

# data[].attributes.body
The Hadith of Jibril is an important hadith that outlines the fundamental principles of Islam and provides a deep understanding of its key concepts.

# data[].attributes.body
I also learn about adab of seeking knowledge based on the Hadith Jibril, which indicates that we should:

Seek knowledge with sincerity:-

Approach learning with a pure intention, aiming to benefit oneself and others rather than for personal gain or recognition.

Seek guidance from experts or referring to someone more knowledgeable:-

If we are uncertain or lack knowledge about a particular matter, it is advisable to seek guidance from someone who has more expertise or understanding in that part.

Do not be afraid to ask questions:-

Do not hesitate to seek clarification or information if we are unsure about something.

# data[].attributes.body
What I have gained from the lesson on Adab in Seeking Knowledge is:

1. The Importance of Sincere Intention: Ensuring that our purpose in seeking knowledge is pure and for the benefit of others, rather than for personal gain or praise.

2. Respecting Teachers: Showing respect and appreciation for the efforts and knowledge provided by teachers and instructors.

3. Patience and Diligence: Understanding that acquiring knowledge requires time and continuous effort, and being patient throughout the learning process.

4. Asking Questions Respectfully: Asking questions in a polite and respectful manner, and being open to receiving answers.

5. Applying and Sharing Knowledge: Using the knowledge gained in daily life and sharing it with others for mutual benefit.

# data[].attributes.body
And what is the most important is that:👇🏻

We must adhere to the Qur'an, Hadith, and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) as a guide for life, so that we remain on the right path and spread the true teachings of Islam.

# data[].attributes.body
The pillars of Iman in Islam are fundamental beliefs that every Muslim (we) is expected to hold. There are six main pillars:

# data[].attributes.body
1- Belief in Allah

2-Belief in Malaikat

3-Belief in Kutub (the Holy Books)

4-Belief in Prophets

5-Belief in the Day of Judgment (Hari Qiamah)

6-Belief in Qada' and Qadar

# data[].attributes.body
1) Belief in Allah :

The oneness of God (Tawhid) is central. We as muslims have to believe that Allah is the sole creator, sustainer, and sovereign of the universe.

2) Belief in Malaikat :

We also have to believe in the existence of angels, created by Allah from light. They serve various roles, including delivering messages and recording human deeds.

3) Belief in Kutub (the Holy Books) :

We need to accept the divine scriptures revealed to various prophets, including the Taurat (to Prophet Musa a.s), the Zabur (to Prophet Daud a.s), the Injil (to Prophet Isa a.s), and the Qur'an (to Our Prophet Muhammad SAW), which is considered the final and unaltered revelation.

# data[].attributes.body
4) Belief in Prophets :

The Prophets are chosen by Allah to convey His message and guidance to humanity. The primary role of a rasul is to deliver Allah’s message and guide people in matters of faith, morality, and conduct. They act as intermediaries between Allah and humanity.

5) Belief in the Day of Judgment (Hari Qiamah)

The Day of Judgment refers to the day when all humans will be resurrected and held accountable for their deeds during their lives. This marks the end of worldly life and the beginning of the afterlife.

6) Belief in Qada' and Qadar

This refers to the belief in predestination, where Allah has knowledge of everything that happens and has a divine plan for the universe, while still allowing for human free will.

= Zakat (literally means "purification" or "growth") is the act of giving a portion of one’s wealth to those who are less fortunate, typically 2.5% of one’s savings and investments. It is not considered voluntary charity (sadaqah) but an obligatory act of worship for eligible Muslims.

# data[].attributes.body
Zakat vs Sadaqah:

Sadaqah is voluntary charity given at any time and in any amount, while zakat is obligatory and has specific rules and recipients. Sadaqah can be given at any time, but zakat must be paid once a year.

# data[].attributes.body
Here are some hikmah (wisdom) behind paying Zakat:

1. Purification of Wealth:

Zakat purifies the wealth of the giver by removing the negative influence of greed and selfishness. It helps to detach the heart from materialism and makes wealth a tool for good.

2. Spiritual Growth:

Giving zakat increases taqwa (God-consciousness). It strengthens one’s relationship with Allah, as it requires the giver to acknowledge Allah’s ownership of everything and to give in His name.

3. Promotion of Social Justice:

Zakat helps bridge the gap between the rich and the poor by redistributing wealth. It reduces inequality, alleviates poverty, and ensures that everyone has access to basic needs.

4. Fosters Empathy and Compassion:

By helping those in need, the giver develops a sense of empathy and compassion. It reminds Muslims of the hardships others face and encourages acts of kindness and generosity.

5. Encourages Community Welfare:

Zakat strengthens the unity of the Muslim community by ensuring that no one is left in dire need. It enhances social cohesion and promotes collective well-being by supporting the poor and vulnerable.
