Zakat

is an Islamic finance term referring to the obligation that an individual has to donate a certain proportion of wealth each year to charitable causes. Zakat is mandatory for all Muslims in most countries and is considered to be a form of worship.

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

3. Gaining closeness to Allah

Zakat is both a physical and a spiritual act, and thereby it's a way of gaining proximity to Allah.

4. The removal of sins

Giving your Zakat is one of the greatest acts you can ever do, with your reward being potentially infinite.

It’s both the right of Allah, as well as the right of the poor. In fact, an Islamic government can forcibly take Zakat from the rich if they withhold it.

Sawm is the Arabic term used to describe the act of fasting. Muslims are obligated to fast in the month of Ramadan for one month.

Benefits of Sawm

1. It increases our Taqwa

Fasting improves this ability to be conscious of Allah as we walk the thorny paths of this world, avoiding that which displeases Him. It increases our capacity to be vigilant over ourselves, account ourselves and ultimately control ourselves.

2. Fast Metabolism

Fasting prompts the liver’s enzymes to break down cholesterol and fats to convert them into bile acid, which, in turn, converts to heat – ultimately stimulating faster metabolism.

Benefits of Salah with Khusyu'

1. Khusyuʿ ensures ṣalāh is easy and beloved for the one praying

If your salah feels like a chore, it is because there is an absence of khusyuʿ in your salah. Once you experience khusyuʿ, your salah will transform into a source of comfort and joy. It will become something you continuously seek recourse in and cannot live without.

2. Khusyuʿ in salah averts evil and prevents immorality

If you pray salah as it is ought to be prayed, fulfilling its conditions and with complete concentration and humility, your heart will become purified. Eventually your heart will become illuminated. Your iman will increase. You will incline more to goodness and abhor evil. Being able to restrain yourself from sins and shameful behaviour is not only one of the greatest fruits of salah, but is in fact one of its primary purposes.

3. Khusyuʿ leads to crying out of the fear of Allah

Having complete khusyuʿ will undoubtedly lead you to cry out of the fear of Allah. Crying in this manner is a great deed which can save you from the Hell-fire and admit you into Paradise.

4. Khusyuʿ is the key to attaining closeness to Allah

Khusyuʿ in salah gives you the pleasure of conversing with Allah. It increases your faith, softens your heart, distances you from the world, and makes you long for Allah and His closeness in the hereafter.

The origin of khusyu’ comes from the softness of the heart, the calm and submissive state of one’s heart.

Steps to Attain Khusyu’ in Prayer

1. Remembering Death

We should pray as if it's our last prayer. We should remember that there would be a time where we would be unable to pray due to sickness or old age.

2. Does Not Perform the Prayer Hurriedly of Hastily

Among the ways to attain khusyu’ in prayer is to perform it calmly. The act of hurriedly or hastily performing prayer, without toma’ninah (calmness) in ruku’ and sujud is prohibited by the Prophet PBUH.

3. Understanding the Meaning of the Verses Recited During Prayer

Understanding the meaning of the verses recited during prayer helps someone in attaining khusyu’ in his prayer. The reason is, a prayer is an act of a servant facing his Rabb, Allah SWT. Hence, he should understand everything that he recited, for the verses of the Quran are the words of Allah

In Islam, prophet Ibrahim (AS) is considered to be one of the greatest men in the history of humanity.

IBRAHIM INVITES HIS FATHER TO ISLAM. He would start with his father who was the closest person to him, and whom he loved so much. He said to him in the softest and kindest voice.

“Oh father! Why do you worship that which doesnt hear or doesnt see, and cannot avail you in anything?”

the father then reply “Do you reject my god, Oh Ibrahim? If you stop not (this) , i will indeed stone you. so get away from me safely before i punish you”

“peace be upon you! i will ask forgiveness of my lord for you. verily! he is unto me, Ever most gracious. and i shall turn away from you and from those whom you invoke besides Allah” Ibrahim replied

quran ayah 19:43-48

🤍The relationship between Prophet Ibrahim with his father

-He’s always patient and spoke softly even though was told to get away by his father

-He Ask Allah for forgiveness for his Father to not be astray from the One and Only god

🤍Moral

-we should always respect them and pray for them to get better

🤍PROPHET

-Prophet in islam are individuals in Islam who are believe to spread god’s messages on earth and to serve as models of ideal human behaviour.

-according to islamic doctrine, prophet Muhammad S.W.T was a prophet divinely inspired to preach and confirm the monotheistic teaching of Adam, Ibrahim, Musa, Isa and other prophet.

-he is believed to be the seal of the prophet within islam.

🤍Hereafter (akhirah)

-Believing in Hereafter in islam means the soul and the body of the dead will rise on the day of resurrection to be judged.

-righteous people will be rewarded with eternal blessings in Jannah whilst the sinful and disbelievers will suffer in Jahannam

-The belief that death is not the end of existence, but transferral from the temporal world to the everlasting world (Al-Akhirah)

🤍Qada’ and Qadar

-Qada’ is Allah’s invention and creation of the pre-eternal recording and destiny.

-Qadar is the results of Allah’s knowledge and Qada’ is the manifestation of Allah’s power.

-The belief in Al-Qada’ and al-Qadar should therefore be understood as a source of strength that god has given every human being his own capacity and ability to work and act

Hadith on Sadaqah: Every good deed is charity, even smiling  :))

1. I learned that i can't always see myself as the bigger person i have to be the same level as everybody. That way, it's easy to get along with others

2. Hardworking is also important, especially when you're working in a group of people. I find myself sometimes doing things in the last minutes, i learned that you need to use all the times you have doing something

3. When it comes to teamwork it's important to be socially active and always interacting with others.

4. Lastly, always help those who are confused or don't know what to do. in this way you're not only just helping them but you're performing "sadaqah".
