Hadith Jibril is one of the most important hadiths in Islamic tradition, as it encapsulates the core of the Islamic faith and practice

One day, while the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sitting with his companions, a man with extremely white clothes and very black hair appeared. There were no signs of travel on him, and none of the companions knew him. The man sat directly in front of the Prophet, with his knees touching the Prophet's knees, and placed his hands on the Prophet's thighs. He then began to ask a serious questions which is about;

1. Islam

2. Iman (Faith)

3. Ihsan (Excellence in Worship)

4. The Hour (Day of Judgment)

After these questions, the man left, and the Prophet asked Umar if he knew who the questioner was. Umar replied that Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet then informed him that the man was the Angel Jibril (Gabriel) who came to teach them their religion.

This hadith is significant because it outlines the fundamental aspects of Islam—faith (Iman), practice (Islam), and spiritual excellence (Ihsan)—and it emphasizes the importance of these pillars in the life of a Muslim.

5 Pillars of Islam
surah al-ankabut, verse 45
Performing salah (prayer) helps prevent immoral behavior and sin. This verse highlights that prayer strengthens a person’s spiritual connection with Allah and serves as a shield against wrongdoing.

surah al-baqarah, verse 183
Fasting is prescribed to cultivate taqwa (piety). The wisdom behind fasting is to develop self-restraint, mindfulness of Allah, and a deeper spiritual awareness through discipline and obedience.

surah al-baqarah, verse 197
During hajj (pilgrimage), believers are reminded to uphold good behavior, avoid disputes, and stay mindful of Allah. This verse emphasizes the importance of character refinement and maintaining piety during acts of worship.

surah at-taubah, verse 103
Paying zakat (charity) purifies the wealth and souls of the giver. It fosters personal growth, spiritual purification, and strengthens communal bonds by helping those in need.

Ibadah not only establishes a connection with Allah but also purifies the soul, refines character, and promotes ethical behavior, discipline, and societal harmony.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
The connection between niyyah and ibadah

# data[].attributes.body
Niyyah (intention) and Ibadah (worship) are fundamental concepts in Islam that define the sincerity and purpose behind every act of devotion. Niyyah is the internal commitment to perform an act solely for Allah, while Ibadah encompasses all acts of obedience that bring a believer closer to Him. Understanding their connection is essential for ensuring that our worship is meaningful, accepted, and spiritually fulfilling.

Thus, niyyah is the foundation of true ibadah, ensuring that every act is performed with sincerity and devotion to Allah.

# data[].attributes.body
Zakat and Sadaqah are two important forms of charity in Islam, each carrying numerous virtues and benefits, both spiritually and socially. Here are some key virtues associated with them:

Virtues of Zakat

1. Purification of Wealth and Soul – Zakat purifies one’s wealth and helps in detaching from materialism.

2. Obedience to Allah – It is a mandatory act of worship, reinforcing a Muslim’s submission to Allah.

3. Helping the Needy – Zakat ensures wealth is redistributed to the less fortunate, reducing economic disparity.

4. Increase in Blessings – Giving Zakat does not decrease wealth, rather, it brings barakah (blessings).

Virtues of Sadaqah

1. Protection from Hardships – Charity extinguishes sins and protects from misfortunes.

2. Continuous Rewards (Sadaqah Jariyah) – Some forms of charity provide ongoing rewards even after death.

3. Brings Divine Mercy and Forgiveness – Sadaqah is a means of gaining Allah’s mercy and expiation of sins.

4. A Sign of True Faith – Charity reflects sincerity, gratitude, and care for others, strengthening the community.

5. When we give Sadaqah in the form of money, Allah may reward us in different ways. It is not necessarily that He will replace it with money; instead, He might grant us blessings in other forms, such as good health, protection from harm, or unexpected opportunities. His rewards are beyond material wealth, encompassing both worldly and spiritual benefits.

Both Zakat and Sadaqah cultivate generosity, empathy, and a sense of responsibility, leading to a more just and compassionate society.

Fasting in Islam, particularly during Ramadan, carries profound wisdom and benefits, both spiritual and worldly. Here are some key aspects of its hikmah:

1. Spiritual Growth and Taqwa (God-Consciousness)

Fasting is a means to attain Taqwa which is piety and awareness of Allah, as mentioned in the Quran:
"O you who have believed, fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you that you may attain Taqwa." (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:183)

It strengthens faith by increasing devotion, prayer, and Quran recitation.

2. Self-Discipline and Patience

Fasting teaches self-restraint from food, drink, and desires, fostering patience and control over impulses.

It helps in overcoming bad habits such as excessive eating, gossip, and negative thoughts.

3. Gratitude and Appreciation

Experiencing hunger makes one more appreciative of the blessings of food and drink, leading to increased gratitude toward Allah.

It reminds people of those who are less fortunate, encouraging acts of charity and generosity.

4. Purification of the Soul

Fasting purifies the heart by reducing distractions and worldly indulgences.

It enhances sincerity (Ikhlas) since fasting is a hidden act of worship, known only to the individual and Allah.

5. Health Benefits

Modern science supports the health benefits of intermittent fasting, such as improved metabolism, detoxification, and weight control.

It gives the digestive system a break, helping in digestion and overall body rejuvenation.

6. Strengthening Social Bonds

Ramadan fosters unity as Muslims worldwide fast together.

It encourages communal prayers (Taraweeh), Iftar gatherings, and charitable acts, strengthening the sense of brotherhood.

7. Developing Empathy and Compassion

By experiencing hunger, fasting cultivates empathy for the poor and motivates people to engage in charity which is Sadaqah and Zakat.

8. Training for a Life of Devotion

Fasting serves as spiritual training, making it easier to continue acts of worship beyond Ramadan.

It develops a habit of waking up for Tahajjud (pre-dawn prayers) and engaging in Dhikr (remembrance of Allah).

9. Strengthening Willpower and Focus

By resisting food, drink, and temptations, fasting strengthens determination and focus, which can be applied to other areas of life.

10. Reward and Forgiveness

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
"Whoever fasts in Ramadan with faith and seeking reward, all his past sins will be forgiven." (Bukhari, Muslim)

The reward for fasting is immense, as Allah says in a Hadith Qudsi:
"Fasting is for Me, and I will reward it." (Bukhari, Muslim)

Fasting is not just an obligation but a powerful tool for self-improvement, spiritual purification, and strengthening one’s connection with Allah.

How can we connect hikmah, niat, amal, and ihsan in worship?

Hikmah refers to wisdom, which can be seen in how our niat (intention) shapes our amal (actions). The quality of an amal is determined by the niat behind it. A good niat reflects hikmah as it leads to positive actions and fosters ihsan—worshipping Allah sincerely with the awareness that even if we cannot see Him, we know He is always watching. This understanding encourages us to perform good deeds and avoid wrongdoing.

Welcome to my e-portfolio for Semester 2 Usrah! This platform serves as a reflection of my journey, experiences, and lessons learned throughout this meaningful course.

My reflection

Alhamdulillah, I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be part of this Usrah. It has been a journey of learning, self-improvement, and spiritual growth.

One of the most impactful lessons I learned is the importance of sincerity (ikhlas) in our intentions and actions. It reminded me that even small acts can be meaningful when done for Allah’s sake.

I sometimes struggled with maintaining consistency in my ibadah, but the support and motivation from my Usrah group encouraged me to keep striving for improvement.

My wish

I wish that our connection could grow even stronger. True sisterhood in Islam is not just about gathering for discussions, but about being there for one another in every aspect of life spiritually, emotionally, and even in our daily struggles.

Suggestion for Improvement

1. Storytelling & Sharing Personal Experiences such as Use Islamic stories from the Quran, Hadith, or history and relate them to modern struggles.

I sincerely thank my Usrah mates and our naqibah for their support, wisdom, and kindness. May Allah bless us all and allow us to continue growing in our deen. Jazakumullahu khayran.
