Islam preaches for children to treat their parents with respect and love, as they have made numerous sacrifices for the sake of their children. "For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And honour your parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them ˹even˺ 'ugh,' nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully." (Al-Isra, verse 23). Some ways to respect our parents include:

speaking to them with an even tone without raising our voice

helping them out to the best of our abilities

pray for their wellbeing

look after them when they are sick or old

1. Setting the right intention (niyyah)

By having the right intentions when doing something, we are able to gain berkat for the action we have done. Niyyah is important because it helps distinguish between different acts of worship

2. Practicing correct amal

We obtain hikmah through the correct amal because we have set good niyyah or intention for doing something.

i. Hajj

Hajj is the annual Islamic pilgrimage for Muslims and is compulsory for those who can afford it, not only from a financial aspect but also a physical and mental aspect. There are three types of Hajj:

Ifrad: completion of Hajj first during the Islamic months of Syawal, Zul-Qaedah and the first 10 days of Zul-Hijjah before Umrah in the same year.

Tamattuk: completion of Umrah first during the Islamic months of Syawal, Zul-Qaedah and the first 10 days of Zul-Hijjah in the same year.

Qiran: completion of both Hajj and Umrah at the same time in one go during the months of Syawal, Zul-Qaedah and the first 10 days of Zul-Hijjah

ii. Salah

Salah is the practice of formal worship in Islam that is done five times a day. in Surah Al-Ankabut verse 45, Allah SWT says:

ٱتْلُ مَآ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِ ۗ وَلَذِكْرُ ٱللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ ٤٥

Recite what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, ˹genuine˺ prayer should deter ˹one˺ from indecency and wickedness. The remembrance of Allah is ˹an˺ even greater ˹deterrent˺. And Allah ˹fully˺ knows what you ˹all˺ do.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

https://quran.com/ms/29/45

The above ayah mentions that salah and compulsory, and performing it helps to deter one from bad deeds because through salah, we are remembering Allah SWT. He is Al-Baseer, meaning that He is The All Seeing and sees what we do.

iii. Sawm

Sawm or fasting is the Islamic practice of abstaining one's self from things that could invalidate it from sunrise to sunset. In Surah Al-Baqarah verse 183, Allah SWT says:

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ ١٨٣

O believers! Fasting is prescribed for you—as it was for those before you—so perhaps you will become mindful ˹of Allah˺.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

https://quran.com/ms/2/183

The ayah clearly states that sawm is compulsory, and doing so will make us become more mindful of Allah SWT.

WEEK 3: PREPARATION FOR SALAH WITH KHUSU'

# data[].attributes.body
i. Preparation

Before performing salah, Muslims must first perform ablution or wudhu, which is letting water run down certain parts of the body after reciting the niyyah. The parts of wudhu include the hands up until the wrists, the mouth, the nose, the face, arms up until the elbows, the head, the ears and the legs.

However, in cases of emergencies where water is scarce, Muslims can perform Taharah or tayammum instead. It is the practice of dry purification in place of wudhu using clean sand or dust. It entails the act of reciting the niyyah, placing the hands on the clean dust or sand, dusting the face and then dusting both arms.

ii. Conditions for Acceptance

In order for one's salah to be valid, one must:

1. Face the Qiblah

2. Be aware that the time for prayer has begun

3. Cover all of their aurat

4. Be clean from najis

iii. Pillars of Salah

There are 13 pillars of salah, and they are divided into three types:

1. Qalbi, which involves the heart: niyyah

2. Qauli, which involves words or recitation that can be heard by one's own ears: takbiratul ihram, al-fatihah, reciting the tashahhud and salam

3. Fi'li, which involves physical movements: qiam, rukuk, prostration, sitting the last qa'adah

WEEK 4: VIRTUES FOUND IN SALAH WITH KHUSU'

WEEK 4: VIRTUES FOUND IN SALAH WITH KHUSU'

# data[].attributes.body
i. Al-Ta'ah

Al-Ta-ah refers to the virtue of loyalty or submission towards Allah SWT's commands. by performing salah with khushu', muslims submit themselves to allah by worshipping Him.

Al-Jihad in Islam means the meritorious struggle or effort in doing something. It may refer to all efforts done to make personal and social life in accordance to Allah's commands. By committing to the five daily prayers, Muslims exert the effort to make their life in compliance to Allah SWT's commands.

iii. Muhasabah

Muhasabah is an action of the heart by self reflecting on ones actions and behaviour, and then correcting their wrongdoings while striving to continue their good deeds. Through salah, Muslims are able to reflect on their actions, asking Allah SWT for His forgiveness on their wrongdoings while continuing to do more good deeds like prayer and charity.

iv. Iffah

Iffah or chastity refers to the act of abstaining from doing sinful acts or prohibitions. Iffah can be obtained from salah because by consistently praying five times a day with utmost focus (khusu'), one becomes aware that Allah is The All Seeing, Al-Baseer, thus motivating them to not do bad deeds.

v. Tawaddu'

Tawaddu' is being humble and aware of one's nothingness in comparison to Allah SWT no matter how wealthy, powerful, or intelligent one might be. By praying with khushu', a Muslim will become aware of their own helplessness and how powerless they are.

√ tadhiyyah (التضحية )

√ taqwa (التقوى)

1. TADHIYYAH is also called "qurbani" which means sacrifice.

What's the connection between sacrifice and hajj?

Well, In the story of Prophet Ibrahim, he was commanded by Allah to sacrifice his son Ismail. Before he could carry it out, Allah replaced Ismail with a ram. This story took place during the zulhijjah month, which month when muslims perform hajj. Plus, during performing hajj, pilgrims are obligated to sacrifice by Stoning the Jamrah, spending the night in Mina, and increasing acts of worship. These sacrifices are part of the obligatory rituals of Hajj.

2. TAQWA

ٱلْحَجُّ أَشْهُرٌۭ مَّعْلُومَـٰتٌۭ ۚ فَمَن فَرَضَ فِيهِنَّ ٱلْحَجَّ فَلَا رَفَثَ وَلَا فُسُوقَ وَلَا جِدَالَ فِى ٱلْحَجِّ ۗ وَمَا تَفْعَلُوا۟ مِنْ خَيْرٍۢ يَعْلَمْهُ ٱللَّهُ ۗ وَتَزَوَّدُوا۟ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ ٱلزَّادِ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ۚ وَٱتَّقُونِ يَـٰٓأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ ١٩٧

˹Commitment to˺ pilgrimage is made in appointed months.1 Whoever commits to ˹performing˺ pilgrimage, let them stay away from intimate relations, foul language, and arguments during pilgrimage. Whatever good you do, Allah ˹fully˺ knows of it. Take ˹necessary˺ provisions ˹for the journey˺—surely the best provision is righteousness. And be mindful of Me, O people of reason!

❤️❤️❤️

How hajj and umrah build taqwa?

Ihram - teach self-restrain form bad feeling such as anger.

Tawaf and saie - increase humility as everyone regardless of their social status need to circling the kaabah and then it bring us close to Allah.

Wuquf at arafah -

This is the deepest moment of repentance as it raise awareness of Allah peaks in ourself.

Stoning jamrah -Symbolic rejection of Shaytan

Tadhiyyah - Reflects submission and willingness to give up for Allah.

To sum up, without taqwā, the rituals may be performed outwardly but miss their spiritual depth.
