Picture 1: Adab of Seeking Knowledge

This poster reminds us about the manners of learning. Outward manners include reviewing, taking notes, asking questions, reading more, and preparing for class. Inward manners are about having the right intention, setting goals, showing respect, good manners, and being consistent. The purpose is to bring us closer to Allahز

Picture 2: Adab of the Qur’an

Here we can see the etiquettes of reciting the Qur’an. For example, having wudhu, sitting nicely, using miswak, pronouncing letters correctly, and reciting calmly in a beautiful tone. We should also not interrupt others, and start with Ta’awwudh and Bismillah.

Picture 3: Group Photo

This is our first usrah photo together. Everyone looks happy and united, showing that learning together can also be enjoyable and strengthen friendship.

اكتساب الحكمة

📌 تعريف الحكمة:

● الحِكْمَة تعني العقل، والحكمة، والعلم.
● الحِكْمَة تعني الخوف [من الله]، وذلك بحسب ربيع بن أنس.
● الحِكْمَة هي فهم أو إدراك أوامر الله، وذلك بحسب ابن زيد.
● الحِكْمَة هي الجمع بين العلم والعمل، وذلك بحسب ابن قتيبة.

🕌 الحِكْمَة والعبادة:

● العبادة ليست مجرد أفعال جسدية، بل تشمل التواضع، الإخلاص، والنية الصافية

● من خلال العبادة الصحيحة، يكتسب المسلم الحكمة ويترقى في فهم الدين.

📖 الحِكْمَة في الإسلام

● ورد في الحديث:
«الحِكْمَةُ ضالَّةُ المؤمن، فحيث وجدها فهو أحقُّ بها» (رواه الترمذي 2687).

● أي أن الحكمة كنز مفقود، والمؤمن أحق بها أينما وجدها.

🎯 أهداف الحِكْمَة في الإسلام

● تعميق فهم المسلم للدين.

● مساعدته على العيش وفق التعاليم الإسلامية.

● تنمية الصفات الداخلية مثل التواضع والإخلاص.

📚 الحِكْمَة والتعليم

● وفقًا لـ سُهيلة وآخرين (2021):

● منهج "حِكْمَة بيداغوجي" (Hikmah Pedagogy) يعتمد على التفكير الفلسفي والسؤال النقدي.

● يساعد الطلاب على تطوير مهارات التفكير العليا، الاستقلالية، والبحث.

● يساهم في تحقيق أهداف التربية الإسلامية: فهم، استيعاب، وتطبيق القيم الإسلامية.

✨ وخلاصة القول، يربط بين الحِكْمَة، العبادة، والتعليم ليُظهر أن الحكمة ليست مجرد معرفة نظرية، بل هي ممارسة عملية وروحية تُهذب شخصية المسلم وتُنمّي عقله وروحه.

REASONS & SOURCES OF HIKMAH FROM IBADAH

🕌 Prayer (Ṣalāh)

Goal: Prayer restrains from immorality and wrongdoing.

Connection: Establishing prayer builds discipline and moral restraint.

Effectiveness: The true impact of prayer is seen in daily behavior and character.

🌙 Fasting (Ṣawm)

Continuity: Prescribed for past generations as well.

Goal: A journey towards taqwa (piety, God-consciousness).

Unique Merit: Unlike other deeds, fasting is exclusively for Allah, and He Himself rewards it.

Hadith: “Every deed of the son of Adam is for him except fasting; it is for Me, and I reward it. Fasting is a shield.”

💰 Zakat (Charity)

Context: Verse revealed during the Tabuk expedition.

Goal: Purification (tathīr) and cleansing (tazkiyah) of wealth and soul.

Distinction: Purification removes sins; cleansing nurtures spiritual growth.

Impact: Strengthens society, supports the needy, and brings reassurance to the community.

🕋 Hajj (Pilgrimage)

Goal: Manifestation of total devotion and submission to Allah.

Difference: Hajj combines physical, spiritual, and communal dimensions unlike other acts of worship.

Impact: Prepares the believer for the Hereafter and nurtures taqwa.

🌍 Projection of Worship

Phase 1: Muslim individual.

Phase 2: Muslim family.

Phase 3: Muslim community.

Phase 4: Muslim nation.

Phase 5: Muslim world.

✨ In short: Each act of worship (prayer, fasting, zakat, hajj) is not just ritual — it is a source of wisdom (hikmah) that purifies the soul, strengthens society, and prepares believers for both worldly responsibilities and the Hereafter.

VIRTUES FOUND IN SALAH WITH KHUSYU'

Introduction

• From childhood (around age 7) to adulthood (around age 19), many Muslims ask:

• Are we truly achieving khushu’ in our prayer?

• Feeling sleepy

• The mind remembers many unrelated things while praying

• Full focus on Allah SWT

• No concern for worldly matters

• Salah should feel like:

• A healing experience

• A moment of enjoyment and peace

- Always imagine:

• This could be your last prayer

-Khushu’ connects:

• Salah → daily life outside salah

Quranic Emphasis

• “Qad aflaha al-mu’minun”

-Allah commands:

• “Establish your prayer” (Aqimus Salah)

Key Virtues Developed Through Salah with Khushu'

• Builds consistency and commitment to Allah

• Trains discipline in daily life

2. Striving / Jihad an-Nafs (جهاد)

FASTING AND ITS VIRTUES

Preparation Before Ramadan

The month of Sha‘ban is a training period before entering Ramadan.

If one aims to complete the Qur’an or abandon bad habits, it should begin in Sha‘ban.

Sha‘ban is a month of practice and preparation.

We try repeatedly before welcoming Ramadan.

Ramadan is not the time to start trying, but the time to give our best after continuous effort.

Obligation of Fasting (Surah Al-Baqarah: 183)

“O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may attain taqwa.”
(Al-Baqarah 2:183)

“O you who believe” indicates that fasting is obligatory upon all believers.

Fasting was also prescribed for previous nations.

First perspective:

We feel more motivated to obey Allah because we are not the first to do so; others before us have also fasted.

Second perspective:

We must strive to do our best because we are the best of nations (the best ummah).

Taqwa (God-consciousness)

Taqwa is related to riqayah (self-protection).

Through taqwa, we fear Allah and safeguard our daily acts of worship.

A person with taqwa constantly reflects on whether their deeds are accepted by Allah.

They are always careful and mindful in every action.

If a person is able to fast during Ramadan, they are also capable of abandoning haram acts such as gossiping and sinful speech.

Virtues of Fasting

(I) Patience (Sabr)

Patience in obeying Allah.

Patience in staying away from Allah’s prohibitions and immoral acts.

Patience in facing trials and hardships.

Trials are evaluated through gratitude, knowing that Allah is paying attention to us.

Patience will always be rewarded in the Hereafter.

Do your best for the sake of Allah and do not be concerned with people’s judgments.

Levels of Fasting

1. Minimum Level

Refraining from food and drink.

Avoiding things that invalidate the fast.

2. Intermediate Level

Controlling food and drink.

Guarding the hands, eyes, ears, and desires.

3. Optimal Level (Highest Level)

Protecting the heart from attachment to worldly matters.

Performing actions while thinking only of Allah.

Avoiding negligence and distractions of the world.

(II) Rahmah (Mercy and Compassion)

Fasting nurtures compassion for those who are less fortunate.

It teaches self-restraint, not only from desires but also from excess.

Feeding a fasting person brings the same reward as the one who fasts.

Wisdom Behind Fasting

1. Self-Transformation

Change begins over 30 days.

With time, good habits become natural.

2. Environment

We avoid eating in front of those who are fasting.

Islam encourages us to choose a righteous circle of friends.

A good environment makes us fearful of committing wrongdoings.

3. Motivation to Do Good

Special encouragements such as Laylatul Qadr motivate us to strive harder.

Those who wish to improve need encouragement to remain consistent in goodness.

# data[].attributes.body
TOPIC : Zakah & Sadaqah

Actually, zakat and charity (sadaqah) are similar in nature. Both require us as Muslims to give part of our wealth and share our sustenance with those in need. Allah SWT strongly encourages us to practise these acts in order to obtain blessings in our livelihood. However, both have their differences, including the following:

Zakat

zakah is very important in a Muslim’s life, just like prayer

It is a formal and structured ritual in Islam

Allah SWT specified its recipients, amounts, time and method of payment.

Its consist of two types which are Zakah al-fitr and Zakah al-mal

Sadaqah

It is recommended act of Ibadah

It is neither a formal nor a structured ritual in Islam

Allah SWT did not specify its recipients, amounts, time

and method of payment.

It is inclusive of all acts of giving and donation such as Zakah, Infaq and Waqaf.

In conclusion, we must practise both of these acts of worship in our lives as they complement each other. They help to strengthen ukhuwah (brotherhood) among Muslims and bring us closer to Allah by increasing our sense of complete trust (tawakkul) in Allah SWT.

Darwisyah - fourth reason
