WEEK 2

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.6_NyyxUU
During our first ever face-to-face session, we reintroduced ourselves, as many of us are still getting to know each other. Our facilitator encouraged us to express our creativity by designing personalized nameplates, which helped add a fun and unique touch to our introductions. (I’ve included a picture of my nameplate below.)

We began the session with the recitation of Surah Ar-Rahman, setting a meaningful and reflective tone for the day. This Surah highlights the infinite mercy and blessings of Allah, showcasing His creation, power, and the many favors He bestows upon humanity and jinn. The repeated verse, "Which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?" serves as a powerful reminder of the countless gifts we often take for granted. It calls us to be grateful, to reflect, and to recognize Allah’s greatness both in this life and the Hereafter. Following this, we played a game designed to help us learn more about each other and to strengthen our bond as a group. It was not only enjoyable but also a great way to build connection and camaraderie among us.

FIRST WEEK (ONLINE) (28/3/2025)

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.6_NyyxUU
In our first Usrah class through googlemeet, which was held on the 28th of March, we had a ta'aruf session where everyone introduced themselves an also we get to know about our facilitator, who is sister Mai. Through this, we got to know each other better by sharing our names, where we're from, and the courses we are taking at IIUM. 

Our facilitator also took the time to explain what usrah is. Basically, usrah is a small, informal Islamic study group that focuses on spiritual development, moral guidance, and strengthening the bond of brotherhood among its members. The word originates from Arabic, meaning "family," and it emphasizes mutual support, learning, and the practice of Islamic values in daily life.

WEEK 3

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.6_NyyxUU
In week 3, we started our usrah with the recitation of surah Al-Luqman. After that, we interpret surah Al-Luqman verses 13-19 . Luqman advises his son with wisdom, starting with the most important teaching: do not associate partners with Allah (shirk), as it is the greatest injustice. He reminds his son to be grateful to Allah and to his parents, especially his mother, for her sacrifices. However, if parents urge one to commit shirk, they should not be obeyed in that, but must still be treated with kindness and respect. Luqman teaches that no action is too small or hidden for Allah to know. He is aware of everything. He encourages his son to perform prayer, promote good, forbid wrong, and be patient through challenges.

 Finally, he advises him to avoid arrogance, be humble in walking, and speak gently, as loud and harsh speech is unpleasant. After that sr mai tell and explain about Hadith Jibril. One day, the angel Jibril came to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the form of a man and asked him questions in front of his companions. He asked about Islam (actions), Iman (belief), and Ihsan (doing everything with excellence and sincerity), and the Prophet answered each one clearly. At the end, the Prophet told his companions that it was Jibril who came to teach them their religion.

During the class, sr mai gave us one link, which is https://archive.org/details/the-unchallengeable-miracles-of-the-quran-pdf. In this website, there is content of The Unchallengeable Miracles of the Quran. We need to choose any topic, and we need to write a very small explanation of what we understand about the topic in a short paper. By doing that, I learn a lot, I get new information, and know more about the verses based on the topic I choose.

WEEK 4

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.6_NyyxUU
In week 4, we started our usrah with the recitation of surah yunus. After that we sr mai intepret surah yunus verses (99-103). In this verses Allah teaches us that These verses remind us that guidance is in the hands of Allah alone no soul can believe unless Allah wills it. The Prophet is told that he cannot force people to believe faith must come with willingness and sincerity. The verses also mention how previous nations were destroyed when they rejected the truth, except for the people of Yunus who believed and were saved. Allah supports the believers and guides them during difficult times. The conclusion is clear: we must choose to believe, do good, and trust in Allah's mercy and justice, especially during trials. 

# data[].attributes.body
WEEK 5

In week 5, we started our usrah with the recitation of Surah Nuh. After that, we interpret Surah Nuh verses 10-16. In these verses, Allah tells us that. These verses show that Prophet Nuh invited his people to seek forgiveness from Allah, promising that it would bring blessings like rain, wealth, and children. He reminded them of Allah’s great power and signs in creation, like the sky, sun, and moon, to help them believe. The message is that seeking forgiveness and reflecting on Allah’s creation brings mercy and guidance.

For the Hadith session, this week Sr Mai shared with us about hadith 16 from Haith 40 Imam Nawawi. This hadith teaches that we should never hurt, insult, or harm others, whether with our words or actions. A true Muslim is someone whom others feel safe from. It reminds us that good character, kindness, and respect for others are key parts of our faith. Being a good Muslim means not just praying and fasting, but also treating people well.

WEEK 6

In week 6, we started our usrah with recitation of surah Al-Hujarat. After that, as usual we interpret the surah where in this surah Allah teaches essential principles for building a strong, respectful, and harmonious Muslim community. It emphasizes the importance of good manners, respect for others, avoiding suspicion and gossip, and resolving conflicts peacefully. The Surah also highlights the equality of all human beings regardless of race or tribe, reminding us that the most honored in the sight of Allah are those who are most righteous. Ultimately, it calls for unity, mutual respect, and sincere faith as the foundation of a healthy society.

During this week, Hadith choosen is Hadith 32 from Hadith 40 Imam Nawawi . This hadith emphasizes the importance of selflessness and empathy in Islam. True faith is reflected in how much a person cares about the well-being and happiness of others, desiring for them what they desire for themselves. It encourages Muslims to develop a spirit of love, kindness, and fairness toward others, strengthening community bonds and promoting harmony.

WEEK 7

In our Last week, we made a little bit different, where this time around we had a potluck and we started our day by seeing the nature in Mahallah Hafsa. After that, we straight away go to Surau and start our usrah there with the presentation of poster. The poster of our group will be shown in poster section. Basically, our group choose a topic of the importance of obidience to parents in Islam.

Then, after all of the group has present their poster, we prayed for maghrib and continue with looking at surah al-Baqarah verses 29-30. This verses teaches us Allah created everything on Earth for humans to use responsibly and made humans His representatives (Khalifah) on Earth. Allah taught humans the names of all things, giving them knowledge and the ability to manage creation wisely. However, this responsibility also means humans must act justly and care for the world.

The verses remind us of the special role and trust given to humanity and the importance of using knowledge and power for good.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.6_NyyxUU
In this week, we have learn a hadith about iman, This Hadith, known as Hadith Jibril, teaches the core parts of our religion: Islam (actions), Iman (belief), and Ihsan (excellence in worship). It reminds us that only Allah knows the exact time of the Day of Judgment, but some signs show it is near. The angel Jibril came in human form to teach through questions so the companions and we could learn.

We can apply this Hadith by focusing on improving our actions like prayer, strengthening our faith, and doing everything with sincerity, as if we see Allah. It also teaches us to always seek knowledge and be humble in what we don’t know

WHAT WE LEARN ON WEEK 4?

1.BELIEF IN ALLAH

Belief in Allah means trusting that He is the one true God, the Creator of everything, and the one who takes care of us.

Believing in Allah means having faith in:

1. His existence

2. His Lordship (Ruboobiyyah)

3. His names and attributes

4. His right to worship (Uloohiyyah).

These four parts help us understand who Allah is and how we should live our lives. When we truly believe in Him, we trust Him, obey Him, and turn to Him in all situations. This belief strengthens our hearts and guides our actions every day.

2.BELIEF IN ANGELS

Belief in angels means knowing that they are special beings created by Allah who follow His commands and help carry out His will.

Angels are special beings created by Allah from light. They always obey Allah and never get tired or make mistakes. Some of their main functions include:

1. Jibril (Gabriel) – delivers Allah’s messages to the prophets.

2. Mikail (Michael) – controls rain, weather, and provides sustenance.

3. Israfil – will blow the trumpet on the Day of Judgment.

4. Malik – guards Hell.

5. Munkar and Nakir – question the dead in the grave.

6. Raqib and Atid – record our good and bad deeds.

3.BELIEF IN ALLAH'S BOOK

Belief in Allah’s books means accepting that Allah sent down holy books like the Qur'an to guide us to live good and truthful lives. These beliefs help us stay connected to Allah and live in a way that pleases Him.

Types of Allah’s Books:

1. Tawrah (Torah) – Given to Prophet Musa (Moses).

2. Zabur (Psalms) – Given to Prophet Dawud (David).

3. Injil (Gospel) – Given to Prophet Isa (Jesus).

4. Qur'an – Given to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH); this is the final and complete book that guides all of humanity.

ACTIVITY

We did some activity where Sr. Mai asks us to bring an envelope filled with any quotes or motivation so that we can give to each other. Surprisingly, I got the envelope from Sr.Mai, and I was so happy and touched by all the words.

WHAT WE LEARN ?

1.BELIEF IN RASUL

Belief in Rasul (Prophets) is a fundamental part of faith in Islam, as prophets are the messengers chosen by Allah to guide humanity with His revelations. Accepting and following their teachings ensures a person stays on the right path.

What are the differences between Rasul and Nabi?

All Rasul are Nabi, but not all Nabi are Rasul.

Rasul has the special duty of delivering a new divine message or scripture, while Nabi are prophets who continue to guide based on previous messages.

2.BELIEF IN QIYAMAH

Belief in Qiyamah is one of the core pillars of faith in Islam. It is the belief that on a certain day, Allah will resurrect all humans from their graves for judgment. Everyone will be held accountable for their deeds, and based on their actions, they will be rewarded with Paradise or punished in Hell.

This belief encourages Muslims to live righteously, be mindful of their actions, and prepare for the eternal life after death.

3.BELIEF IN QADA' AND QADAR

Belief in Qada and Qadar means accepting that everything happens according to Allah’s divine will and knowledge. It teaches Muslims to trust in Allah’s wisdom, be patient during hardships, and remain hopeful during good times, knowing that life’s events are part of a greater plan.

Differences between Qada' and Qadar.

Qadar is Allah’s pre-creation knowledge and measurement of all things.

Qada is the actual implementation or happening of those things in the real world.

Both concepts together affirm that nothing occurs without Allah’s knowledge and permission, emphasizing His complete control over the universe.

WHAT WE LEARN?

1.IHSAN

Ihsan means doing something in the best and most beautiful way. In Islam, it means worshipping Allah as if you see Him, and even if you don’t see Him, knowing that He is always watching you. It’s about being sincere, excellent, and full of kindness in everything you do.

The 3 Levels of Faith

Islam: Outer practice and submission

Iman: Inner belief and conviction

Ihsan: Perfect sincerity and excellence in worship and behavior

HADITH 17 ( HADITH 40 IMAM NAWAWI)

This hadith highlights the importance of intention in all actions. It teaches that the value and reward of any deed depend entirely on the intention behind it. Even the same action can have different outcomes based on what motivated it. Therefore, sincerity in worship and good deeds is essential for acceptance by Allah. It reminds believers to constantly check their intentions and purify them for the sake of Allah alone.

2.ADAB TOWARD NEIGHBOUR AND SOCIETY

Good manners and respect towards neighbours are very important in Islam. Treating neighbours kindly, helping them, and avoiding harm strengthens community ties and brings blessings. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that being good to neighbours is part of faith and closeness to Allah. Therefore, Muslims should always be considerate, caring, and supportive to their neighbours, creating a peaceful and friendly environment.

WHAT WE LEARN ?

APPRECIATION OF NATURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Appreciating nature and the environment means recognizing the beauty and blessings of Allah’s creation. It teaches us to respect and protect the natural world because it sustains life and provides for our needs. Islam encourages us to be responsible caretakers of the Earth by avoiding harm, wasting resources, and maintaining balance. By valuing nature, we show gratitude to Allah and help create a healthy and sustainable environment for ourselves and future generations.

SURAH AL-AHZAB VERSES 72

The verse highlights the special status and burden of humans they have accepted the responsibility to obey Allah’s commands, to be His representatives on Earth, and to live according to His guidance. It serves as a reminder to take this trust seriously and fulfill our duties.

ACTIVITY

At the end of the class, we ate together as I was so happy to see there was a lot of food that everyone brought. Then Sr.Mai and some of the students gave their last speech, and I still did not believe that we were already at the end of the usrah class. I hope that everyone will take care of themselves and enjoy every moment in IIUM, and also I hope that we will still contact and remember each other even if we are not in the same class anymore. Last but not least, we end our class with a gift exchange session. I am so happy as I got something that is very cute and I'm definitely gonna use it forever. Then, by that, our usrah class for this semester ends.
