What I Gained from Usrah II?
It was an unforgettable and enjoyable experience for me since I started to understand how usrah works in this semester. I got to know new friends that actually I used to know but I can't recognize at first. Beside that, I am able to practice every knowledge that my naqibah shared in our usrah's sessions. For example, on week 3 we learnt about the preparation for salah with khushu'. It actually helps me to improve my salah and this can lead me to be a better Muslim.

Improvement for Usrah
I think we can hold more meetings and starts usrah as soon as our semester starts for instance starting from week 2, so that we can have more knowledge sharing session that can be shared together.
