This week’s lesson highlighted the Quran as the ultimate source of guidance for humanity. It was a reminder that the Quran has been preserved in its original form and continues to provide direction in matters of faith, character, and responsibility. Through its signs, stories, and emphasis on the Oneness of Allah, the Quran offers timeless wisdom and clarity, guiding us to live with purpose, patience, and accountability.

This first week of Usrah felt really light and welcoming. We’re having a Ta’aruf session and spent time getting to know each other better, and it was fun to have a Quizizz session about our personal information. It made introductions less formal and more interactive. I enjoyed learning little details about my classmates while sharing mine too. What stood out the most was the safe and peaceful atmosphere in class. Our Usrah assistant made it easy to feel comfortable, and I appreciated how everyone was open and respectful. Overall, this first week gave me hope that Usrah will not only be a place of learning, but also a place to build meaningful connections.

This week’s Usrah on the Quran as the Book of Guidance was really meaningful for me. I had the chance to present my part on the Best Way to Learn Quran, and while preparing and sharing, I actually understood it more deeply myself. Simple reminders like setting sincere intentions, starting with Tajweed, using translations, and being consistent really stuck with me.

I also enjoyed listening to my friends’ presentations because each of us highlighted different aspects of the Quran’s guidance. Altogether, it reminded me that the Quran is not only to be read, but to be lived with sincerity and effort. The session gave me more motivation to improve my relationship with the Quran in small but steady steps.

Today’s usrah helped me understand the Hadith of Jibril better. I learned that it teaches the core of our religion which are Islam, Iman and Ihsan. It also reminds us about the importance of the Pillars of Islam like praying, fasting, giving zakat, and hajj.

I also learned that Jibril wore clean white clothes to show the importance of cleanliness and came with good manners when learning. He sat politely and asked questions nicely, which teaches us to have good adab and not be shy to ask.

This lesson reminded me to always practice the pillars sincerely and have good manners when seeking knowledge.

SUMMARY

The Six Pillars of Iman form the foundation of Islamic faith. They guide believers to live with meaning, discipline, and hope: believing in Allah, angels, divine scriptures, prophets, the Day of Judgement, and qada’ qadr . Together, these pillars strengthen faith, shape character, and lead Muslims towards righteousness and eternal success.

# data[].attributes.body
This week’s Usrah on the Six Pillars of Iman reminded me that faith is more than just belief. it’s a guide for living. Each pillar holds a lesson that trusting Allah brings peace, angels remind us our deeds are recorded, scriptures guide us, prophets inspire us, the Day of Judgement keeps us accountable, and Qada’ and Qadr teach patience and trust. It felt like a gentle reminder to live with purpose, hope, and responsibility.

I felt comfort knowing that Allah’s plan is always wiser than mine, and every trial carries a hidden blessing.

Today’s usrah lesson was really meaningful. I learned about Ihsan & Eschatology. From Ihsan, I understood that it means doing everything sincerely as if Allah is always watching, and I’ll try to apply it in my daily life. I also enjoyed the short action or drama of the other group members showing good and bad actions towards parents. It really made me reflect on how I treat mine. We also learned about Eschatology, which reminded me about the Hereafter and that every small action will be rewarded or punished. InshaAllah, I’ll keep striving to do good with Ihsan and stay mindful of the Akhirah.

Today’s usrah lesson was about Adab to Parents, and it really touched my heart. I learned how important it is to speak gently, use polite words, and never raise our voice or be harsh towards them. We should always make dua for them and treat them with love and respect, just like how Prophet Ibrahim showed a soft heart in his story.

This lesson reminded me that being kind to our parents is a big part of our faith. I also realized that the same manners can be shown to friends, lecturers, and others around us. InshaAllah, I’ll try to practice this more , to always be polite, patient, and caring, especially with my parents.

SUMMARY

This poster highlights the importance of respecting and helping parents through polite speech, offering assistance, showing gratitude, and listening to their advice. These manners promote family harmony, kindness, and blessings while gaining Allah’s pleasure, as Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “The pleasure of Allah is in the pleasure of the parents, and the anger of Allah is in the anger of the parents.”

My first week of usrah for sem 2 felt warm and enjoyable. We started with a get to know each other session where everyone shared interesting facts, and it honestly made the class more comfortable because we laughed at how funny and unique some people are. Our usrah assistant was really kind and supportive, and I could see she tried her best even though it was her first time leading us. After that, we discussed the topics of niyyah, amal, and ihsan, and each group presented a short conclusion of our understanding. I learned that good deeds are not just about actions, but also about sincerity, purpose, and doing things consistently. I’m grateful for a meaningful first session and I’m looking forward to growing together throughout the semester.

# data[].attributes.body
SUMMARY

The poster emphasizes that Islam’s inner and outer life are linked: niyyah sets the direction of the heart, ehsan raises the quality of what you do, and amal becomes the visible outcome. So when your intention is truly for Allah (not for people’s praise) and you strive to do things with excellence even in private, your deeds gain real value, nurture sincerity, strengthen your soul, and show up as kindness and responsibility toward others, leading to success in this life and the Hereafter.

SUMMARY

This poster reminds me that sawm is more than avoiding food. It trains our heart and character. It helps me control desires, increase taqwa, and build empathy for those in need. Ramadan should also push me to improve worship, reflect on my weaknesses, and carry these lessons into good daily behaviour even after Ramadan.

week 3 : Wudu, Tayammum, Salah, Khusyuk 

# data[].attributes.body
SUMMARY

Our roleplay video talked about wudu, tayammum, salah, and khusyuk. We showed how to do wudu and why it is important before praying. We also explained tayammum and when we can use it if there is no water. Then we shared the key parts of salah that we must do properly. Lastly, we explained khusyuk, which means praying with focus and a calm heart, and how to avoid distractions during prayer.

# data[].attributes.body
SUMMARY

This poster reminds me that khusyuk in salah is not just about finishing the prayer, but truly being present with Allah. When I focus, I feel closer to Allah, more peaceful, and my prayer becomes a reminder to avoid wrongdoing. Khusyuk also makes my worship more sincere and meaningful, and over time it helps improve my akhlaq and soften my heart.

Week 2 usrah felt like a soft wake up call for me. The main reminder was that hijrah can start with fixing my solat. being more consistent, more focused, and treating it as a real priority. It also linked well with discipline and being on time, because punctuality in prayer shows respect and obedience. The part about taqwa made me reflect on being aware that Allah sees me even when no one else does, especially in my private habits and intentions. Ramadan topics were meaningful too: fasting teaches self-control and builds empathy, helping me understand the struggles of others and be more grateful. I also appreciated the reminder about zakat. it’s not just giving, but reducing greed and strengthening brotherhood. Overall, the session made me feel motivated to improve my worship and character little by little.

# data[].attributes.body
We did a roleplay activity with 4 casts, where each person represented one topic. It was a fun but meaningful way to learn because we didn’t just listen , we had to act out the concepts clearly. Each cast focused on a different topic: wudu, tayammum, salah, and khusyuk. Through the roleplay, we showed the correct steps and common mistakes, and we also highlighted the deeper purpose behind each practice. I personally found it helpful because watching and acting made the lessons feel more real and easier to remember, especially how good preparation (wudu or tayammum) connects to a better quality of prayer, and how khusyuk is something we can train with intention and focus. Overall, the roleplay made the session more engaging, interactive, and impactful.

# data[].attributes.body
Today’s usrah session reminded me how important it is to perform salah with khusyuk, and it honestly made me reflect on my own imperfect prayers. I realised I often get distracted by my own thoughts and what’s happening around me, and sometimes I rush without really feeling the meaning of what I’m reciting. Learning about khusyuk made me understand that prayer is supposed to be a real connection with Allah that brings calm and helps improve our akhlaq, not just movements. After this session, I feel more motivated to fix myself and try my best to pray with more focus and sincerity, little by little.

SUMMARY

This poster shows that fasting is not only about not eating and drinking. It also teaches us to control our words, stay focused in prayer, and manage our emotions. Even when it is difficult, fasting helps us build patience, self-discipline, and become a better person.

# data[].attributes.body
From today’s usrah session, we had a sharing session where everyone talked about their challenges during fasting. Hearing my groupmates’ experiences helped me realise that each struggle has its own hikmah. We discussed how fasting trains patience, self-control, and mindfulness in different ways. I felt motivated because their stories reminded me that we are all trying to improve, and that every small effort during Ramadan has meaning.

Today’s usrah session helped me understand zakah in a more meaningful way. We discussed the definition of zakah, and I realised it is not just giving money, but an act of worship that purifies our wealth and trains our heart to be less attached to dunya. We also touched on the commandments of zakah, which reminded me that it is a clear obligation for Muslims who meet the conditions, and it reflects our obedience to Allah.

We then learned the difference between zakah and sadaqah. Zakah is compulsory with specific rules and recipients, while sadaqah is voluntary and can be given anytime. What I found most impactful was how tawakkul relates to zakah, because paying zakah requires trusting that Allah will bless and replace what we give sincerely. Lastly, we reflected on ukhuwah, and I realised zakah strengthens unity in the ummah by helping those in need and reducing social gaps. Overall, the session made me feel more aware of my responsibility and the bigger purpose of zakah in building a caring community.
