HAJJ

Hajj, in Islam, the pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, which every adult Muslim must make at least once in his or her lifetime. The hajj is the fifth of the fundamental Muslim practices and institutions known as the Five Pillars of Islam. The pilgrimage rite begins on the 7th day of Dhū al-Ḥijjah (the last month of the Islamic year) and ends on the 12th day.

3 types of Hajj

1. Hajj al-Tamatt’u

The most common type of Hajj pilgrimage. It entails performing Umrah rituals during the Hajj season and then completing the steps to Hajj between the 8th and 13th day of Dhu al-Hijjah. Pilgrims intending to undertake Hajj al-Tamatt’u must combine Umrah rituals with that of Hajj. Sacrificing an animal  is required in order to complete this form of Hajj. A pilgrim who undertakes this type of Hajj is called Mutamatti.

2. Hajj al-Ifrad

To perform the rituals of Hajj alone without sacrificing an animal (Hadee) or Qurbani. A pilgrim who undertakes this type of Hajj is called Mufrid.

3. Hajj al-Qiran

To perform both Hajj and Umrah while being in the state of Ihram. This form requires sacrificing an animal to complete the rituals. A pilgrim who undertakes this type of Hajj is called Qaarin

Virtues of Sadaqah

Sadaqah refers to a virtuous deed or an act of kindness done without the expectation of getting anything in return. This voluntary charitable act does not necessarily have to be monetary aid. It can also be as simple as greeting someone with a smile or lending someone a helping hand. Sadaqah is a sign of sincere faith in the angels of Allah counting good deeds for mercy on the Judgement day.

Giving sadaqah helps Muslims to achieve taqwa

Allah said in the Qur’an, “The most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous (taqwa) among you.” (Qur’an 49: 13) But what is taqwa? Sayyidina Ali RA defined taqwa as ‘the fear of Allah, acting upon the tanzeel (the book revealed), being content with qaleel (little) and preparing oneself for the hereafter.’

It is taqwa or the fear of Allah that propels Muslims to obey Allah’s commands and keeps them from doing evils and what is forbidden. By giving sadaqah, we are able to achieve taqwa, and become the noblest in the eyes of Allah.

The Virtues of Zakat & Sadaqah

What is Zakat?

Zakat is a mandatory process for muslims and is regarded as a form of worship. It is one of the five pillars of Islam. Zakat ensures that individuals who are helpless, lacking basic necessities are protected from things such as hunger.

The importance of paying Zakat reinforces the key idea that the wealth we are blessed with does not belong to us solely, it is a blessing from Allah SWT that must be shared

Benefits of giving Zakat

1. It purifies your wealth

Zakat spiritually purifies your wealth and soul. It's a way to learn discipline, show your obedience to Allah (swt) and increase in love for your brothers and sisters worldwide.

2. A sign of brotherhood

If there ever was a time we need unity and to come together, it's now. The Qur’an describes as brothers in faith and Zakat is one of the best ways to demonstrate this brotherhood.

“But (even so), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and give their Zakat, they are your brethren in Faith.”

Zakat is a way of increasing love, harmony and connection between Muslims.

FASTING

Fasting during this month is a powerful tool for cultivating spiritual development and promoting a deeper connection with Allah.

Sawm is profoundly spiritual act of worship, it's aim to transform us both internally and externally.

Fasting in Ramadan teaches self-discipline and patience, helping us to cultivate greater control over our physical and emotional desires. With this self-control we can focus on our spiritual growth and deepen our connection with Allah.

Fasting is a shield. So, the person observing the fast should not use obscene language and should not behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody fights with him or abuses him, he should tell him twice,'I am fasting'". (Sahih al-Bukhari)

Fasting cultivates compassion and empathy, particularly towards those who live in poverty and struggle with access to food and resources. The act of abstaining from worldly pleasures allows us to understand and appreciate the challenges faced by those in need.

Fasting and the Qur’an are important aspects in the life of a believer, as both serve as a means of seeking closeness to Allah, attaining forgiveness, and ultimately, redemption in the afterlife. Engaging in acts of worship such as fasting and reading the Qur’an can have a profound impact on our spiritual journey and increase our chances of success in the hereafter.

KHUSYU'

How to get khusyu' in every prayer?

"Truly successful are the believers, that is, those who are devoted in their prayers."(al-Mu'minun: 1-2)

According to Imam al-Hanbali Rahimahullah in Al-Khusyuk Fi Al-Solat, the origin of khusyuk is the soft feeling of the heart, calm, submissive and constant

1. Prepare early before prayer

Make early preparations such as bathing and wearing the best clothes is one of the ways to achieve privacy. The heart and feelings become calm and the body parts will be more ready to pray. Khusyuk is not only in the heart, but also in the limbs

2. Understanding Each Prayer Recitation

we are encouraged to learn and appreciate every act and recitation in prayer because this will help us to be solemn in prayer

3. Pray Calmly And Not In A Hurry

Prayer requires concentration and is done carefully. At this time, we are likened to meeting a king. So, with God it is natural for a person to feel more afraid and at the same time hope that God will accept his prayers and requests.

4. High expectations for Allah SWT

God is simply a place of hope and not to creatures or material belongings. Prayer is proof of a servant's dependence on Allah because this is when we are closest to Allah SWT, especially when prostrating.

We need to respect our friends no matter where they are . This is the education of Islam towards its followers. We need to respect everyone even if they are of different religions and races. Below is a brief description of the manners among friends. It is focused on students.

Every student should treat other students as his own and treat them according to their age.

Students should avoid feeling envious and jealous of other students. Any problems should be referred to teachers and school administrators so that they can be resolved fairly and equitably.

Students should practice greeting each other and be polite to each other.

Students must show a cheerful face in the school area.

Adab with neighborhood

1. Be nice to them.

In surah an-Nisa' verse 36, Allah says

Meaning: "And you should worship God and do not associate anything with Him and you should do good to your parents and relatives and orphans and the poor and your near neighbors and your distant neighbors and fellow travelers and stranded travelers and also the slaves you have. Indeed, Allah does not like those who are arrogant and boastful.

2. Not adopting an 'excessive' attitude of being aware of the neighbor's affairs

-Although we are forbidden to take care of the edge of other people's clothes, there are some important things we should know about the rights of neighbors, even with various cases of domestic violence now, as neighbors we should take care and protect them because protecting those who are persecuted is part of amal makruf nahi evil (calling to do good and preventing from doing evil).

3. Help them when they are in trouble.

In surah al-Maidah verse 2, Allah says which means:

"And you should help each other in doing good deeds and piety, and you should not help each other in committing sins (disobedience) and aggression."

4. Visiting them when they are sick and taking care of their bodies when they die.

From Abu Hurairah RA he said, I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: The rights of a Muslim over another Muslim are five things, which are to respond to greetings, visit those who are sick, accompany the dead, fulfill invitations, and pray for those who sneeze

Adab with parents🤗

1. Obey orders and stay away from their prohibitions as long as it does not conflict with Islamic law

-Being kind to parents is something that is demanded in Islam. This is natural because parents have struggled to conceive, give birth, raise, pray, give love and education to their children since birth until today. It is impossible for us to repay all their kindness.

2. Calling parents with a good, gentle, and respectful name.

-Mother", "Mak", "Ummi", "Mama", "Mami", "Ayah", "Abah", and "Papa" are calls that children always give to their parents. Whatever the nickname is, as long as it gives a good meaning and is full of honor then as a child it is not wrong for us to use it.

3. Use polite, gentle and respectful language when communicating

-A person is educated in good communication methods starting in his own family. How he treats and treats his family members, that's how he will treat others.

4. Always take care of the parents' feelings

-Children when they are young become a test for parents to grow up and educate them. But when parents grow old, it will be a test for children to take care of their emotions and feelings. Anyone who is currently taking care of an elderly mother and father, you are a wonderful and patient person

5. Praying for the well-being of parents in this world and in the hereafter

-Among the manners that are important to parents is prayer. Prayer is the weapon of every Muslim. When there is no effort we can do anymore, prayer is the last resort or tawakal which shows that we surrender ourselves completely to Allah SWT in determining what happens whether good or bad.

In this week, I learned about Ihsan and eschatology.
What I understand about Ihsan is often translated as "doing good" or "doing what is beautiful" and is closely linked to the concept of Taqwa (piety). This means that one should perform their duties and responsibilities to the best of their ability, with sincerity, and with the intention of pleasing Allah. the concept of Ihsan encourages Muslims to strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives, including their professional lives. Finally, by practicing Ihsan, individuals can improve their personal and professional relationships, contribute positively to their organizations and communities, and ultimately please Allah.

Eschatology is a field of study in Islam concerning future events that would happen in the end times. It is primarily based on sources from the Quran and Sunnah.
Signs of End Times
-Zina will become widespread
-The Earth rapidly vomiting gold and silver
-The number of men will decrease, whilst the number of women will increase, until for every man there are 50 women;
The coming of Imam Mahdi,[44]
-The Antichrist (Masih Ad-Dajjal) will appear and travel to Jerusalem";[44]
-The descent (or Second Coming) of Jesus Christ (Al-Maseeh 'Isa ibn Maryam)

In this week, I learned about Hadith Jibril.

That the Angel Jibreel himself came to teach the fundamentals of the Faith to the Companions by asking questions to the Messenger ﷺ.

That one can teach others by asking about that which he already knows.

That if someone wants to know about Islaam generally, then he should be made aware of the pillars which constitute it.

That Islaam is built on the five pillars which have to be acted upon with eemaan and ihsaan. Denying any one of these pillars and not wishing to fulfill any one of them makes one a non-Muslim.

That belief in what Allaah has destined for us, whether it is perceived to be good, or bad, is part of eemaan, and without believing in it, our eemaan is incomplete and defective.

That one must accept the Messengers sent by Allaah.

That one must develop ihsaan in all that he does so that he is as much aware as he can be that Allaah is indeed watching every move that he makes.

That as part of the Islaamic manner the teacher should be ready to accept and say that he does not know the answer or that he does not know it better than the enquirer.

That the signs of the Last Hour are real and cocern how we live and behave.

That although the Companions were the best of the people and were the most knowledgeable, they did not interrupt with their own answers, nor did they show impatience at the questioner. Therefore as part of the Islaamic manners, if someone asks a question to the teacher in a group, then the others in the group should keep quiet until one of them is asked for help.

It is not permissible to say that there is a certain length of time left before the end of the world, for none knows but Allaah, not even the Messenger ﷺ.

In this week, I learned about Pillars of Iman. First, Belief in Allah. We as His slaves must acknowledge Him as The Sole creator. He himself have all the authority to decide everything on His creation. We must also believe that He has neither a partner nor anyone similar to Him. Second, belief in Angles. Angles were created to obey the commands of Allah and they never disobey His laws. it is obligatory for every muslim to believe the existence of Angels. Last, Belief in the revealed scripture. It is obligatory for muslims to believe in all the Books which Allah has revealed and in all the Prophets and Messengers whom Allah has sent.

For example adab in seeking Knowledge is set purity intention for Allah and put a lot of effort in studies.
