Based on the usrah session, i was able to know that tawadu' is very important in every single thing that gives benefits to us. Either it is compulsory to do it in worship or just a simple things. Throughout of this, we will realize that it will gives us benefits in the future not only for ourselves but also people around you.

My wish for the next usrah is they sharing more interesting topic and doing a quiz for that topic and least the presentation session. Do more simple activities that relates to the topic and also make some notes so that we have guidance when they having the sharing.

To end this point, let us altogether ponder upon the following recommendations, which hopefully has many benefits for us all:

-The Muslim Ummah must have certainty upon the promise of Allah in bestowing rewards that are manifold and continuous to those that made infaq, for as long as it remains beneficial.

-The Muslim Ummah must have certainty that giving infaq will not cause the wealth to diminish, but instead, it will further increase.

-Muslims that have made infaq from their best and most beloved possession will be honored with the greatest appreciation by Allah.

Dalam suatu riwayat ada dikemukakan bahawa seorang pemilik pohon kurma mempunyai pohon yang mayangnya menjulur ke rumah jirannya yang mempunyai ramai anak. Pada setiap kali memetik buah kurma tersebut, pemilik itu akan memetik dari rumah jirannya dan apabila ada kurma yang terjatuh lalu dipungut oleh anak-anak tersebut. Akan tetapi dia segera turun dan merampas dari anak-anak itu, malahan jikalau ada yang sudah masuk ke dalam mulut dipaksa untuk mengeluarkannya. Oleh itu, orang fakir tersebut mengadukan perkara ini kepada Rasul dan baginda berjanji untuk menyelesaikannya.

Kemudian Rasulullah bertemu dengan pemilik kurma itu dan bersabda: "Berikanlah kepadaku pohon kurma yang mayangnya menjulur ke rumah si Fulan dan sebagai gantinya engkau akan diberikan pohon kurma di syurga." Pemilik pohon kurma itu berkata: "Hanya itu tawaran tuan?" Sesungguhnya aku mempunyai banyak pohon kurma dan pohon kurma yang diminta itu paling baik buahnya."Kemudian pemilik pohon kurma itu pun pergi.

Perbicaraan di antara Nabi dan pemilik pohon kurma itu didengari oleh seorang dermawan lalu dia datang mengadap Nabi dan berkata: "Apakah tawaran tuan itu berlaku juga bagiku, jika pohon kurma itu telah menjadi milikku?" Rasulullah menjawab: "Ya."

Maka pergilah orang itu menemui pemilik pohon kurma tersebut. Pemilik pohon kurma itu berkata: "Apakah engkau tahu bahawa Nabi Muhammad s. a. w. menjanjikan pohon kurma di syurga sebagai ganti kepada pohon kurma yang mayangnya menjulur ke rumah jiranku. Sesungguhnya aku telah mencatat tawarannya, akan tetapi aku mendapati bahawa pohon kurma tersebut mempunyai buah yang mengagumkan, padahal aku mempunyai banyak pohon kurma dan tidak ada satu pun yang selebat itu." Berkatalah dermawan itu: "Apakah engkau mahu menjualnya?" Dia menjawab: "Tidak, kecuali apabila ada orang yang sanggup memenuhi keinginanku, akan tetapi pasti tidak akan ada yang sanggup." Dermawan itu berkata lagi: "Berapakah yang engkau inginkan?" Dia menjawab: "Aku inginkan empat puluh pohon kurma. "Dermawan itu terdiam seketika lalu berkata lagi: "Engkau meminta yang bukan-bukan, baik aku akan berikan empat puluh pohon kurma kepadamu dan aku meminta saksi jika engkau benar-benar mahu menukarnya." Kemudian dia memanggil sahabat-sahabatnya untuk menyaksikan penukaran itu.

Selepas itu, dermawan tersebut datang mengadap Rasulullah s.a.w. dan berkata: "Ya Rasulullah! Pohon kurma itu telah menjadi milikku dan aku akan serahkan kepada tuan. "Maka berangkatlah Rasulullah menuju ke rumah orang fakir tersebut dan bersabda: "Ambillah pohon kurma itu untukmu dan keluargamu." Maka penurunan ayat ini (al Lai: 92": 1-21) adalah untuk membezakan kedudukan dan akibat bagi orang yang bakhil dan orang yang dermawan. Diriwayatkan oleh Ibnu Abi Hatim dan perawi lain dari al Hakam bin Abban dari Ikrimah dari Ibnu Abbas. Menurut Ibnu Katsir hadis ini adalah gharib)

Dalam riwayat lain pula ada dikemukakan bahawa Abu Bakar telah membebaskan tujuh orang hamba yang diseksa oleh pemiliknya kerana hamba-hamba itu beriman kepada Allah. Maka penurunan ayat ini (Surah al Lail: 92:17-21) adalah berhubung dengan peristiwa tersebut sebagai janji Allah kepada hamba-hambaNya yang dermawan yang menafkahkan hartanya ke jalan Allah. (Diriwayatkan oleh Ibnu Abi Hatim dari Urwah) Dalam riwayat lain ada dikemukakan bahawa Abu Quhafah bapa kepada Abu Bakar berkata kepada Abu Bakar: "Aku melihat engkau memerdekakan hamba-hamba yang lemah. Sekiranya engkau memerdekakan hamba-hamba yang kuat, pasti mereka akan membelamu dan mempertahankanmu, hai anakku." Abu Bakar menjawab: "Wahai bapaku, aku mengharapkan apa yang ada di sisi Allah." Maka turunlah ayat-ayat (Surah al Lail: 92: 5-21) berkenaan dengan kisah Abu Bakar ini. (Diriwayatkan oleh al Hakim dari Amir bin Abdillah bin Zubair dari bapanya bernama Zubair)

Recently, I've been taking an interest in learning about manners that every person, Muslim or Non-Muslim should adopt. Islam has a lot to offer in this area, through the examples of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) as well as his Companions. The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said "The only reason I have been sent is to perfect good manners". What piqued my interest in this area was my interest in the topic of Tazkiyyah, which I have been interested in for a number of years.

In pursuit of learning more about Tazkiyyah, I bought "Purification of the Heart: Signs, Symptoms, and Cures of the Spiritual Diseases of the Heart." In this book, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf provides commentary on Imam al-Mawlud's Matharat al-Qalb. In this book, Shaykh Hamza provides commentary on the following verses from Imam Mawlud's work:
"I begin by starting with the heart of beginnings, For it the highest and noblest of beginnings."
Commenting on these two lines, Shaykh Hamza informs us that, as is often the case, we have lost some intricacies of these two verses due to translation. Focusing in on "heart of beginnings", the word for beginning in Arabic is ba'du and the word for heart in Arabic is qalb. Another meaning of qalb in Arabic is to reverse, so in Arabic this phrase can also be read as "qalb ba'du" or "reverse beginning". If we take this literally, what happens if we reverse the word ba'du? In Arabic, we get the word adaab, which means to be courteous, but also to have good manners, morals, etiquettes, etc.

"...one of the keys to purifying the heart is to adorn oneself with good morals..."
- Ayaz Siddiqui
After reading Shaykh Hamza's commentary where he points out this hidden gem and commented upon it, I realized that one of the keys to purifying the heart is to adorn oneself with good morals, characteristics, etiquettes, and manners.

In order to learn more about the topic of manners, I recently registered for the Prophetic Conduct: Islamic Manners in Everyday Life. Before the course started, we received a lecture describing the Ten Adab of Seekers of Knowledge given by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani (hafidhahullah). My notes on this lecture are below. If I left anything out, mistyped anything, or misunderstood anything, it is from my own shortcomings.

In this lecture Shaykh Faraz expounds upon five outward manners seekers of knowledge must adopt as well as five inner manners.

The Five Outward Manners of Seeking Knowledge
1. Repeat and Review

Commenting on this advice, Shaykh Faraz tells us that by repetition, even donkeys learn so there is no reason why we humans cannot learn through repetition.

What do you have to review?

Key Concepts, conditions, and integrals because if you understand these clearly, you understand what you are studying

Definitions (e.g. What is ghusl? What is wudu? What is wiping?)

Shaykh Adib Kallas (rahimahullah) said that matters are known by their definitions.

So, it is of utmost importance that one learns the definitions of what is being studying.

Definitions bring out the meanings of things

2. Take Notes

Take notes while listening, but also make your own notes on readings that are prescribed or supplemental material described in the lecture

Have pen and paper to jot down the most important things described or items to be researched at a later time

Diagram what you are studying because diagramming helps to visual concepts

Diagramming helps you actively engage in what you are learning.

A seeker of knowledge is called a seeker because they are an active participant in learning. The term "seeker" means that you are the one who is searching and acquiring knowledge. You are not being sought for knowledge.
Example: Seekers ask "What else can and should we be reading?" when studying a topic with a teacher.

3. Ask!

The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, "The cure for confusion is but to ask".

We shouldn't be scared to ask questions from our teachers because if we don't ask, it may lead to confusion and misunderstanding. Questions should, however, be asked with the proper etiquette and manners.

Asking is half of knowledge

Part of why it is half of knowledge is to know how to ask a question, and the right way of asking questions

Ask also to confirm what you do understand because Ilm is decisive knowledge so it is imperative to make sure your understanding is correct.

4. Extra Readings

You must do extra readings in a guided way, not randomly.

The strong student of knowledge is one who learns the core of their knowledge through teachers but at the same time they continue reading to gain breadth of knowledge.

You can potentially read many things, but you would be foolish to read books above your current level Ilm. So, ask what is appropriate

Anytime you are studying one book, try to read a similar book on the same level

This will deepen your understanding of any topic

Read actively

5. Prepare for class

The best way to prepare for a class is to prepare so much that you know the subject better than the teacher

It is important to prepare for class, just as you prepare to go to school or work.

It is best to read and understand the text of the section being discussed, however, if nothing else, read over the text of the section.

When reading, you may encounter questions which you can then ask when given the opportunity

Many Ulema say that one should prepare for five hours for each one hour of class, however, others have recommended less time for preparation.

The Five Inward Manners of Seeking Knowledge
1. Intention

Have a high intention of why you are seeking knowledge. Is it to seek the pleasure of Allah (may He be exalted), or are you seeking knowledge to show off?
2. Clear & Defined Goals

Have a clear sense of what you are seeking, and define what your goals are for seeking knowledge. What are you trying to achieve? How are you going to go about seeking knowledge? Do you want to be able to teach others?
3. Veneration

Have a deep, unshakeable respect for scholars (even when we disagree), writings of scholars, books (which are the vessels containing the water of guidance), and even knowledge itself

Scholars are inheritors of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)

Disrespect of Ulema is sickness of our times

Have wudu when studying

4. Adab (Manners)

Have proper adab (manners) - you can only have adab if you learn about it
5. Consistency

Learn something every day and review every day. Our lives are busy, but at the same time we should set aside some time every day to learn

Seeking knowledge should become intrinsic for the true seeker
Part of consistency is to have a routine

BONUS: Always act upon knowledge learned
