 W4 : Why we need to study to improve our amal ?📚

# data[].attributes.body
Islam has placed a high value on the pursuit of knowledge. The first ayat when Malaikat Jibril asked rasullah to 'read' is surah Al-'Alaq.Hence, this shows the importance of studying in islam.

Here's the reasons why:
1) Bring us closer to allah
2) Improve the quality of our ibadah
3) Enhance self-values
4) Strengthen our iman

So basically ,
-The more we study especially obligatory knowlegde (fardhu ain) like tauhid, akhlaq, tajwid , the more knowlegable you become in certain areas that mostly people didnt care and know about .
-Being in the right path or "fisabillillah" are always hard as many people want detour you and all i can say is dont give upp .
- Everytime we learn something, we need to apply it in our daily life so that it will be beneficial for us.

Ok , how to increase our islamic study as a student in cfs?
- learn by watching youtube videos such Ustaz Azhar Idrus, Ustazah Asma Harun , Ustaz Hadi
-having the right circles to motivate you to do amar ma'ruf nahi mungkar

Prophet Muhammad Saw once said:
Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever goes out seeking knowledge is in the way of Allah until he returns.”

WHY DO WE NEED TO STUDY MORE TO IMPROVE OUR AMAL?

# data[].attributes.body
Life is filled with ups and downs, and there are times where our trials seem unending. In the Qur’an, there are several verses in which Allah talks about the varying ways we will be tested, but He also provides a care package to help us navigate those trying moments.

1) A test can sometimes replace a worse misfortune
A test can be a form of protection from something that might have befallen us.  Or being deprived of something might, in fact, be saving us from something that is not good for us, even though we don’t have the knowledge to realise it at the time.  Allah tells us: “Perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good.” [Qur’an 4: 19]. Therefore the test which might seem so awful to you at the time is, in fact, a blessing.

2)To be a better muslim
The Prophet ﷺ said:“The people who face the most difficult tests are the prophets, then the righteous, then those following them in degree. A person is tried according to his religion. So if there is firmness in his religion, then the trial is increased, and if there is a weakness, then it is lightened. Verily a trial remains with a servant until he walks the earth having no sin left upon him.” [Bukhari].

Allah wants to refine us, out of His love and mercy, so that we can attain not just Paradise but the highest rank of the Prophets and the righteous. Tests expose our faults and weaknesses to ourselves—and that awareness enables us to be more focused and proactive in rectifying those aspects of our character.

3) to purify us and wash away our sins
The Prophet ﷺ said:“No calamity befalls a Muslim but that Allah expiates some of his sins because of it, even if it were the prick of a thorn.”  [Bukhari, Muslim].
So instead of seeing tests as a punishment from Allah, this shows that in fact, Allah wants to save us from punishment – i.e. the punishment of the Hereafter which is much worse than any test faced in this Dunya.

4) Because Allah loves us
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whenever Allah wills good for a person, He subjects them to adversity.” [Bukhari]. Why? Because if the servant reacts with Sabr and contentment with Allah’s decree, it brings them closer to Allah. And “Allah loves the Patient.” [Qur’an 3: 146]

5) We were created to worship Allah
We were created to worship Allah, and we all made a promise to do so before we were sent to earth. Tests are a means for us to fulfill this promise. In fact, they are a “sunnah” of Allah – i.e. tests are the means by which Allah distinguishes between us, because they help to expose faith and lack of faith.  Allah states in the Qur’an:
‘Do the people think that they will be left to say, “We believe” and they will not be tried? But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident those who are false.’ [Qur’an 29: 2-3]

How do i feel about this topic:
Well, it makes me realize I should have be more grateful and i need to look at things in a different way. Instead of focusing on the 'what' is the problem , I should've look into 'how' am i going to solve this problem.

And it gives me comfort , I quoted and remind myself
" It's ok eveything will pass " like this problem will not be with me forever , its just a test or a phase that im going through right now.

RAMADAN IN LOCKDOWN: Here's our guide to a lockdown Ramadan, filled with the duas you need, how-tos, some soulful inspiration and ideas for good deeds.

Why are we tested?

This is a very common question from Muslims, people of other faiths, or no faith-so it's important to reflect on it. Lack of answers can sometimes distance people from their faith-if a person doesn't understand why trials happen they can start to feel life is unfair or even that God is being unfair. But Allah is Al-Adl, The Just, and He is Ar-Rahman, The Most Merciful; He never wants ill for His servants, He only wants the best for us. There is a lot of evidence in the Qur'an and hadith that helps us answer this question of why we are tested.

1) We were created to worship Allah

We were created to worship Allah, and we all made a promise to do so before we were sent to earth. Tests are a means for us to fulfill this promise. In fact, they are a " sunnah " of Allah - i.e. tests are the means by which Allah distinguishes between us, because they help to expose faith and lack of faith. Allah states in the Qur'an:

'Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried? But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident those who are false.' [Qur'an 29: 2-3]

2) Allah tests us to purify us and wash away our sins.

The Prophet (saw) said:"No calamity befalls a Muslim but that Allah expiates some of his sins because of it, even if it were the prick of a thorn." [Bukhari, Muslim].

So instead of seeing tests as a punishment from Allah, this shows that in fact, Allah wants to save us from punishment - i.e. the punishment of the Hereafter which is much worse than any test faced in this Dunya.

3) A test can sometimes replace a worse misfortune

A test can be a form of protection from something that might have befallen us. Or being deprived of something might, in fact, be saving us from something that is not good for us, even though we don't have the knowledge to realise it at the time. Allah tells us: "Perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good." [Qur'an 4: 19]. Therefore the test which might seem so awful to you at the time is, in fact, a blessing.

4) Tests are given to us to strengthen our iman (faith).

The Prophet (saw) said:"The people who face the most difficult tests are the prophets, then the righteous, then those following them in degree. A person is tried according to his religion. So if there is firmness in his religion, then the trial is increased, and if there is a weakness, then it is lightened. Verily a trial remains with a servant until he walks the earth having no sin left upon him." [Bukhari].

Allah wants to refine us, out of His love and mercy, so that we can attain not just Paradise but the highest rank of the Prophets and the righteous. Tests expose our faults and weaknesses to ourselves-and that awareness enables us to be more focused and proactive in rectifying those aspects of our character.

Listen to how it all started. 'Life before Amaliah', over on our podcast, 'Amaliah Voices' Rizq-Allah will provide from sources you cannot imagine It takes a village to raise children, are you building one?
5) Allah tests a person He loves.

The Prophet (saw) said: "Whenever Allah wills good for a person, He subjects them to adversity". [Bukhari]. Why? Because if the servant reacts with Sabr (patience) and contentment with Allah's decree, it brings them closer to Allah. And "Allah loves the Patient." [Qur'an 3: 146]

10 ways to deal with tests:

Ibn Al-Qayyim ( rahimahullah) stated that when we are tested, we are faced with 2 options:

So when we lack patience and get frustrated/ bitter/ panicky, or lose hope/ blame Allah, this is actually a choice we make, and not a very good one. But those who choose option (1), as difficult as it is, benefit from their tests in this life and also gain in the next life, i.e. Jannah.

So how can we choose to have more patience and contentment when tested? Thanks to the sisters who gave the following suggestions:

1. Read/ listen to Qur'an (because dhikr gives contentment - see Surah Ra'd: 28).

2. Make du'a for Allah's help, strength, and relief from the test - just as Ya'qub (as), and Maryam (as) and the Prophet (saw) all did.

3. Gratitude puts our tests in perspective and stops us from complaining; it is the greatest route towards Sabr.

4. Remember what others are going through - remember the Ummah, and people around you in your own communities; remind yourselves of the tests the Prophets went through - they provide us with good examples of perseverance. Bear in mind every single person is being tested in different ways.

5. Remember nothing in this life lasts forever, so the test will have an end inshaAllah: "verily with every hardship comes ease" [Qur'an 94:5-6].

6. Allah does not burden any soul beyond what it can bear [Qur'an 2:286]; Allah has confidence in us, so we too need to have confidence in our ability to get through the test.

7. Muhaasabah - use tests as an opportunity for self-assessment; are there things you can do better next time? Are there habits/ characteristics you need to change?

8. Deal with your test one step at a time - i.e. if you have a task to complete, give yourself small goals. Or if you are facing a long-term test, try to have patience for that day, and start afresh with your goal of sabr the next day etc.

9. Have trust in Allah (tawakkal), whatever the test is - because Allah is the best of Planners and teaches us the best lessons.

10. Strengthen your salah: "Seek help in patience and prayer" [Qur'an 2: 153]

Finally, What if you are not being tested?
The following question was asked, and it comes up quite a lot: "W hat if someone doesn't seem to be going through any major trials, and in fact, they are being blessed with abundance. Does Allah love such a person less than someone He subjects to obvious harsh trials? " Tests can take many forms, they can be great or small, a one-off trial or something we face consistently. They can come in the form of hardships... or, they can come in the form of blessings.

In fact, these can be a greater pitfall than hardships because they are harder to identify as tests. Why is this the case? Because when we feel less needy of Allah's help we turn to Him less. We tend to remember Allah less in times of ease. So "ease" is no less of a test of our faith, especially when we remember that Iblis vowed to use ingratitude as a means to lead us astray (see Surah A'raf: 16-17).

The way to show patience with such a test is to always be grateful; to know Allah is the source of our blessings; to fight pride and ego, and to fight the temptation to show off. And if someone succeeds in that trial, they would be rewarded by Allah and be drawn closer to Allah, no differently from someone who faced their hardships with sabr.

Having sabr with blessings is also shown by utilising the good things Allah gave us - if it is money, do we spend it freely in the way of Allah, or do we hold back? If it is knowledge, or free time, or good health, or youthfulness, how do we use these blessings? It is not always easy to be generous with those blessings, and to use them for Allah rather than the ego-that is a great test too.

Finally, it's worth remembering there are examples of companions who were blessed with abundance-Khadijah, Abu Bakr, Uthman bin Affan, Abdur Rahman bin Awf, may Allah be pleased with them all! They were blessed with wealth and status too, but they used that to serve Allah and the Ummah. In fact, they were among those promised paradise. So being tested with abundance does not necessarily mean that person is less beloved to Allah, they are just being tested differently. And Allah knows best.

Believe in Prophets and Day of Jugdement

# data[].attributes.body
1. R - Revelation

قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌۭ وَٰحِدٌۭ ۖ فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ لِقَآءَ رَبِّهِۦ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًۭا صَـٰلِحًۭا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ أَحَدًۢا ١١٠

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I am only a man like you, ˹but˺ it has been revealed to me that your God is only One God. So whoever hopes for the meeting with their Lord, let them do good deeds and associate none in the worship of their Lord.”
surah Al-kahf (18:110)

2. R - Reminder
prophets only can remind but cannot force us.
So , if we do not believe in Allah , it's our choice. But remember prophets already remind us

3. A - amaran (warning)

Prophets give warning to mankind about what are the punishments if someone did not want to believe in Allah or want to disobey His Commandment.

For example the story of prophet Nuh's wife who died in terrible ending because she did not want to follow prophet Nuh and believe in Allah

4. S - Seruan untuk bertaubat ( A call to repentance)

There are some prophets had already invite them to revert to islam but to no avail , they did not want to listen.

nevertheless, prophets still dont give up and keep spread Islam .

5. U - ummat terdahulu dibinasakan ( people of back of the day were destroyed)
For example, the people of prophet Luth kept doing sodomy eventhough prophet Luth already forbid them . Therefore , Allah turned the earth upside down .

وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلْفَـٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ٨٠ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةًۭ مِّن دُونِ ٱلنِّسَآءِ ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌۭ مُّسْرِفُونَ ٨١ وَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓا۟ أَخْرِجُوهُم مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌۭ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ ٨٢ فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُۥ كَانَتْ مِنَ ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ ٨٣

And ˹remember˺ when Lot scolded ˹the men of˺ his people, ˹saying,˺ “Do you commit a shameful deed that no man has ever done before?(80)You lust after men instead of women! You are certainly transgressors.” (81) But his people’s only response was to say, “Expel them from your land! They are a people who wish to remain chaste!”(82)So We saved him and his family except his wife, who was one of the doomed.(83)

6. L - Long lasting living example
Qatadah reported: I said to Aisha, “O mother of the believers, tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.” Aisha said, “Have you not read the Quran?” I said, “O course.” Aisha said, “Verily, the character of the Prophet of Allah was the Quran.”

I refreshed back about functions of prophets and signs of the Day of Judgement , and chronology of hereafter

Go check it out for more explainatory:
1) https://youtu.be/yH68kglc8Io
2) https://youtu.be/plP0xvE7mTw
3) https://youtu.be/D_jBTI004_k

Supportive evidence :-

1)Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, among the most beloved and nearest of you to me on the Day of Judgment are those of you who have the best moral conduct, and, indeed, the most hated of you to me and farthest from me on the Day of Judgment are the talkative, the pompous, and the Mutafayhiqūn." They (the Companions) asked: "O Messenger of Allah, we know the talkative and the pompous, but we do not know who the 'Mutafayhiqūn' are." He replied: “The arrogant."
Sahih/Authentic. - [At-Tirmidhi]

2) "Nothing is heavier on the believer's Scale on the Day of Judgment than good character. For indeed Allah, Most High, is angered by the shameless obscene person." [Tirmidhi, Birr 62, (2003, 2004); Abu Dawud, Adab 8, (4799) The following is stated in a narration by Tirmidhi:

3)“Knowledge without manners (adab) is like fire without wood and adab without knowledge is like a spirit without a body.” - Imam Zakariya Al-Anbari

So, what is my stand and what did I gained from this usrah :
- I agree , Adab is more important than ahkam
- Because sometimes even you're high intellectual person but have no manners , people will not respect and dislike you because you're an arrogant person.
- I stick to this quote , my highschool teacher once told me that , "no matter how smart you are , without adab , you are nothing" . Because we need our teacher's and parent's blessing.
My teacher also said ," It's better to be poor but when you have adab, you are far more richer than the rich" .
So , basically this session reminded of what have my teacher said . Other that, it is a good reminder that we need to reflect of our own actions.

# data[].attributes.body
Adab refers to the Islamic etiquette and entails good manners, morals, and appropriate actions.

يَـٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ خُذُوا۟ زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍۢ وَكُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ وَلَا تُسْرِفُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ
Children of Adam! Take your adornment at every time of Prayer; and eat and drink without going to excesses. For Allah does not like those who go to excess.
Surah Al-A’raf Ayat 31 (7:31)

Adab towards Parents :

وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَـٰنًا ۚ إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ ٱلْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَآ أُفٍّۢ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلًۭا كَرِيمًۭا
And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], “uff,” and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.

Abu Huraira reported that a person said: Allah's Messenger, who amongst the people is most deserving of my good treatment? He said: Your mother, again your mother, again your mother, then your father, then your nearest relatives according to the order (of nearness).

1. Respect and obedience to parents

2. Do not even say 'ugh'

3. Do not scold them

4. Address them with respectable words

5. Submit oneself before them in humility out of compassion

6. pray for them

Adab towards  neighbours and society:

1) Doing good to neighbors who may even be strangers

“Serve God, and join not any partners with Him; and do good – to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbors who are near, neighbors who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (ye meet), and what your right hands possess.” [The Holy Qur’an, al-Nisaa 4:36]

2) Treating one’s neighbor with respect and duty

When asked what the rights of the neighbor are, the Prophet Mohammed answered: “The least of a neighbor’s rights on him is that if he asks him for a loan he should grant it to him. If he asks for help, he should help him. If he wants to borrow something from him, he should lend it to him. If he needs him to donate something to him, he should do so. If he invites him, he should accept his invitation. If he gets sick, he should go and visit him. If he passes away, he should attend his funeral procession.” [Mustadrak al-Wasa’il, v.2, p.79]

3)One must not trouble their neighbors

In one narration, someone complained to the Prophet Mohammed about his neighbor. The Prophet reportedly turned his face away from him, and then stated to those around him: “Go and publicly announce that the curse of God and the angels is on one who troubles his neighbor.” [Mustadrak al-Wasa’il, v.2, pp.78-79]

Things we can do to society:
1. Visit the sick
2. Feed on animals
3. if you see litters , pick it up
4. pay someone's groceries or meal
5. Initiate salam (greetings) eventhough strangers
6. Give in charity like to the orphans
7. Make dua for them in private

As a student;

smile

For example, invite our friend to pray subuh and magrib prayer together at mosque.
