REFLECTION WEEK 1 (15/8/2025)

Allah says in surah Al-‘Alaq first ayah "اقرأ"that means "read". It is not just ordinary word because that word shows a lot of meaning from Allah. Allah command us to read and seek for knowledge. Moreover , when we learning something we have to learn it properly.

(1) Correct intention

من جد و جد

“Whoever strives, succeeds.”

From Classical Arabic proverb above we know that whoever study hard to seek knowledge and they will succeed. That means we have to set our mind to gain more knowledge and most importantly seeking Allah pleasure with strong intention. So that we can obtain both the world and the hereafter.

(2) Respect our teacher

When our teachers is teaching we have to give full attention and focus to our teachers so that our teacher will not disappointed and we can get valuable knowledge from our teacher. Besides, do not talk with our friends when our teachers explaining something so that we dont miss important things.

(3) Recite du’a

اللَّهُمَّ انْفَعْنِي بِمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي وَعَلِّمْنِي مَا يَنْفَعُنِي وَزِدْنِي عِلْمً

“O Allah, open for us Your wisdom, and spread upon us Your mercy, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor.”

Recite du’a is the most essential things before we start seeking knowledge because before we seek some knowledge we have to seek Allah approval first so that our learning journey will go smooth and calm.

1. Purpose of Worship

Allah created humans and jinn with the main purpose of worshipping Him, as stated in Surah al-Dhariyat (51:56). Worship becomes the foundation of the relationship between the servant and the Creator, and it is a means for humans to receive guidance and blessings.

2. Prayer (Solat)

Prayer is an act of worship that prevents a person from engaging in immoral or indecent behavior because it reminds the heart that Allah is always watching. Through prayer, a person is nurtured to be sincere, constantly rememberina Allah. and attaining a high level of piety (taqwa).

The verse from Surah al-'Ankabut

(29:45) explains that prayer is a moral shield that shapes character

and discipline.

3. Fasting

Fasting trains the soul to achieve

taqwa, which is a deep awareness of Allah. By refraining from eating and drinking, a person learns discipline, patience, and develops empathy towards those who are less fortunate.

Surah al-Baqarah (2:183)

emphasizes that the main purpose of fasting is to make humans more pious and closer to Allah.

Zakat functions as a purifier of

wealth and the soul. It removes negative traits such as greed and stinginess, and provides an opportunity for a person to build generosity and compassion.

and nourishes spirituality while helping to ease the burden of

those in need.

5. Haji

commands completely, especially in situations that test patience.

Fasting is an important act of worship in Islam and one of the Five Pillars of Islam.

During the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset by avoiding food, drink, and sinful actions. Fasting helps Muslims strengthen their relationship with Allah and improve their character.

Fasting teaches discipline, patience, and self-control. Muslims learn to control their desires and avoid bad behaviour while obeying Allah's commands. Allah prescribed fasting so that Muslims can develop taqwa, which means being more mindful and conscious of Allah in daily life.

In addition, fasting reminds Muslims to appreciate the blessings given by Allah. By feeling hunger and thirst, Muslims can better understand the difficulties faced by poor and needy people. This encourages kindness, charity, and helping others in society.

Fasting also improves behaviour and strengthens faith. Muslims are encouraged to avoid lying, gossiping, arguing, and other sinful actions during Ramadan. Through tasting, Muslims learn to become more patient, honest, and responsible.

Zakah is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is an important duty for every Muslim.

Zakah means giving part of one's wealth to people who are poor or in need. Sadaqah is voluntary charity that Muslims give sincerely for the sake of Allah. Both zakah and sadaqah encourage Muslims to become kind, caring, and responsible people in society.

Zakah is important because it teaches Muslims to share their blessings with others. It helps people who are struggling and reduces poverty in the community.

Muslims believe that wealth is a gift from Allah, so they should use it in a good way.

By giving zakah, Muslims can purify their wealth and strengthen their faith in Allah.

Besides helping the poor, zakah also improves relationships among people. It creates love, unity, and cooperation in society. People who receive help will feel cared for, while those who give will feel grateful and thankful for what they have.

This makes the community more peaceful and united.

One important benefit of zakah and sadaqah is tawakkul, which means trusting Allah. Muslims believe that Allah will reward them for their kindness and replace what they spend in charity. Giving charity also helps Muslims avoid greed and become less attached to money and material things.

In addition, zakah and sadaqah strengthen ukhuwah, or brotherhood, among Muslims.

Helping others teaches empathy, compassion, and social responsibility.

Muslims feel happy and satisfied when they help people sincerely.

However, neglecting zakah can bring negative effects. People may become selfish and ignore the needs of the poor. It can weaken unity in society and reduce care for others. Therefore, Muslims should fulfill this responsibility sincerely to gain Allah’s blessing.
