day. Everything will be annihilated. That day is called al-Qiyamah, i.e. the Last Day.

presented before God, who will sit for judgment. This is called al-Hashr

(Resurrection).

3. The entire record of every man and woman including all of their deeds and

transgressions will be presented before God for final judgement.

4. Those who demonstrate exceptional virtue will be rewarded, while those whose

good deeds outweigh their transgressions will suffer the severe punishment.

of eternal bliss will be opened to them meanwhile those who are condemned and

deserve punishment will be sent to Hell the abode of fire and torture.

– He gently invited: “Follow me, I will guide you to the straight path.”

Ḥikmah (Wisdom):

Defined as intellect, discernment, and acting rightly.

Linked to fear of Allah, comprehension of His commands, and combining knowledge with deeds.

Objective of Ḥikmah:

Deepen understanding of religion.

Guide life according to Islamic teachings.

Cultivate inner qualities like sincerity and humility.

Ḥikmah in Education:

Pedagogical approach that develops higher-order thinking, inquiry, and independent reasoning.

Supports Islamic education goals: understanding,

internalizing, and practicing values.

Niyyah (Intention)

Foundation of all deeds: “Actions are judged by intentions.”

Correct niyyah ensures acts are for Allah alone.

Tips for right niyyah: sincerity, purity, clarity, focus, and consistency.

Amal (Good Deeds)

Refers to worship and righteous acts (salah, zakat, fasting, hajj, kindness).

Must be performed with sincerity and consistency.

Hadith of Jibril outlines Islam (pillars), Iman (beliefs), and Ihsan (excellence in worship).

Core Idea

The purpose of creation is worship (ʿibādah), which nurtures wisdom (ḥikmah), moral discipline, and closeness to Allah.

Each major act of worship (Ṣalāh, Ṣawm, Zakāh, Ḥajj) carries unique wisdom and spiritual benefits.

Salah

Builds awareness of Allah, sincerity, and remembrance.

Restrains from immorality and wrongdoing (Qur’an 29:45).

Effectiveness depends on sincerity and consistency.

Sawm(fasting)

Prescribed to cultivate taqwa (piety) (Qur’an 2:183).

Teaches empathy, discipline, and resistance to Satan’s influence.

Unique among deeds: Allah Himself rewards fasting directly.

Zakah(charity)

Purifies wealth and the soul (Qur’an 9:103).

Encourages generosity, reduces greed, and supports the needy.

Historically linked to the Tabuk expedition, showing its role in strengthening the community.

Hajj

Symbol of total devotion to Allah (Qur’an 2:197).

Requires abstaining from indecency, disputes, and disobedience.

Prepares believers for the Hereafter and strengthens unity.

Best provision for Hajj is taqwa.

Broader Impact of ʿIbādah

Shapes the Muslim individual, family, community, nation, and world.

Prepares believers to be khalifah (vicegerents) managing the world according to Allah’s will.

Ensures readiness for the Akhirah (Hereafter).

Conclusion: Ibādah is not just ritual—it is a source of ḥikmah that purifies the soul, disciplines behavior, fosters taqwa, and prepares Muslims for both worldly responsibilities and eternal life.

1. Qur’anic Basis of Fasting

Al-Baqarah 2:183: “O believers! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may attain taqwa.”

Fasting is a command for believers, proving true faith.

Mention of “those before you” refers to Jews, Christians, or all previous nations — showing fasting is a universal practice.

2. Purpose: Attaining Taqwa

Taqwa means mindfulness, precaution, and avoiding sin.

Example: Umar ibn al-Khattab likened taqwa to walking carefully on a thorny path.

Fasting trains believers to be cautious, disciplined, and spiritually aware.

3. Prophetic Teachin

Hadith (Abu Hurairah, al-Bukhari): If one does not abandon lies and false conduct, Allah does not need him to abstain from food and drink.

Emphasizes fasting is not just physical abstinence but moral and spiritual discipline.

4. Virtues of Fasting

Sabr (Patience):

Obedience to Allah.

Avoiding prohibitions.

Enduring trials and difficulties.

Levels of Fasting (Al-Ghazali):

1. Minimum: Abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations.

2. Intermediate: Guarding body parts (tongue, eyes, ears, hands) from sin.

3. Optimal: Purifying the heart from worldly distractions.

Rahmah (Mercy & Empathy):

Experiencing hunger builds compassion for the poor.

Encourages feeding others.

Hadith: Whoever provides food for a fasting person earns the same reward without reducing the fasting person’s reward (At-Tirmidhi).

Conclusion:

Fasting is more than abstaining from food and drink — it is a spiritual discipline that develops taqwa, patience, self-control, and empathy. It connects believers to Allah and to the struggles of others, shaping moral and spiritual character.

This semester's usrah reminded me of the true purpose of ṣalāh — it is not only an obligation, but a protection for the heart. When I pray with khushū‘, I feel closer to Allah, aware that I am standing before Him. That awareness helps me pause when facing temptations, guiding me to choose what is right. I realize that ṣalāh is meant to shape my character, keeping me away from immorality and wrongdoing.
