REASONS AND SOURCES OF HIKMAH FROM ’IBADAH

" A virtuous intention is the source of all goodness. "
The heart is where intentions are formed. Hence, as the heart and mind are interconnected, what we intent will influence our thoughts and then our action.

so does the state of heart influence our intention?

in a hadith, Prophet Muhammad PBUH mentioned, “... in the body there is a piece of flesh; if it is sound, the whole body is sound, and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt. Truly, it is the heart.”  (Sahih Bukhari)

if the heart has such a significant influence on our body, what more on our intentions? hence, it is vital that we ensure our hearts are in a healthy state as we set our intentions to avoid pursuing any actions or goals that may harm ourselves and others.

faith is the key to paradise but how can one increase their rank in paradise? it is through action that makes one rise.

enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong are two important duties imposed by Allah in islam, as revealed in the Quran and Hadith.

Allah said by way of description of Prophet Muhammad PBUH : [He orders them with that which is good and forbids them which is bad. And he makes allowed for them that which is clean and good, and forbids them that which is unclean and detestable.] Quran 7/157.

therefore, as a muslim, we have to do what is good for us and prevent ourselves from doing the things that are bad for us.

📌 internalising the ihsān (positive virtues).

# data[].attributes.body
ihsan is one of the many words in arabic that cannot be translated into just one english word but rather has a broad and deep meaning.

once the Prophet PBUH was asked; “what is Ihsan?”  to that he replied “[Ihsan is] to worship God as though you see Him, and if you cannot see Him, then indeed He sees you.”  we can understand from this that it means to do a thing well, in the best possible manner, to achieve excellence, to aim at beauty and perfection.

in brief, Ihsan is a labour of love, not merely a duty. this can result only from an inner sense of presence before God and love for Him. therefore, the essence of Ihsan is love of God, and is the pinnacle and the highest state of Islam,

APPRECIATION FOR THE NATURE AND ENVIRONMENT!!

# data[].attributes.body
as a muslim, we should embrace the nature whole heartedly. we shouldn't take advantage over the nature around us since it brings a lot of benefits to mankind. hence, it is obligatory for us to take a good care of the nature around us as the nature is also part of Allah's creation.

iman is a firm belief of faith arising out of knowledge and conviction.

a person who knows and convinces beyond doubt in the unity of Allah is called mu'min.

every mu'min is a muslim but not every muslim is a mu'min.

according to imam abu hanifah, iman can be defined as to be convinced with the inner heart, to affirm with the tongue and to carry out actions with various parts of the body.

a brief introduction under the topic of al-ihsan.

# data[].attributes.body
al-ihsan implies three of the following concepts:

doing well, doing goodness and behaving with others in a good manner.

perfecting something or doing something in the best way.

worshipping Allah SWT with the belief that He is present and watching that act of worship.

# data[].attributes.body
we were told to introduce ourselves since it was our first day of usrah. i still remember being the first person who got called out by our naqibah (randomly) to introduce myself. it was a bad timing because at that time, i was still looking for a good spot that can make myself audible to others and also for me to hear the whole thing clearly since my neighbor's house was under the construction at that time.

it was very chaotic behind the camera but fortunately, i was able to introduce myself briefly to my fellow usrah's members xD

me and my group members presented our topic together!!

# data[].attributes.body
based on this hadith, Islam as a religion consists of three fundamental elements :

1) islam
2) iman
3) ihsan

# data[].attributes.body
fahsya’ can be regarded as major sins or an action that is acted upon by a person but can be seen by other people.

munkar can be regarded as minor sins or an action that is  acted upon by a person but cannot be seen by other people.

are we obliged to be khusyu’ in salah?  khusyu’ in salah is not obligatory.

some of the benefits that we can gain if we perform our salah are reward in the hereafter and a peace of mind in the world.

# data[].attributes.body
my team and i presented this in our usrah.

# data[].attributes.body
khusyu’ in salah can be foster in the heart.

the sole purpose of salah is to worship Allah.

Benefits of performing salah with khusyu’ :

mujahadah : strive

muhasabah : self-reflect

iffah : refraining ourself from committing any immoral behaviours that went beyond Allah’s command.

tawadhu’ : humbleness. by being humble, we could protect ourself from ujub and arrogance.

Fasting is directly linked to Sabr.

The Prophet SAW said, “It is the month of patience, and the reward for patience is Paradise. It is the month of sympathy with one’s fellow men. It is the month wherein a believer’s provision is increased.”

Ramadan is a training ground for us to practice, develop and nurture Sabr, to draw closer to Allah (SWT) and attain His love through this esteemed act of worship, and to prepare us for a life of trials and tests in which success is only attained by the Saabireen – those who practice Sabr.

Observing sabr in our lives beyond Ramadan gives us the skills to overcome many things we don’t have a choice over. It allows us to be patient in managing adverse situations in our life with a rational and thoughtful approach according to the teaching of Islam, which will ultimately result in attaining Allah (SWT) mercy and reward.

Have you ever had that feeling of anxiety in your heart? What if it doesn’t work out? What if you never get over it? The truth is, we have all felt this way at some point in our lives. Sometimes, the uncertainty is just too much to bear, or the hardship of a moment prevents us from seeing any light at the end of the tunnel. At times we desperately want some kind of medicine, a pill perhaps, to miraculously take these worries away.

But we do have that. This pill is called tawakkul. Like any pill, it’s sometimes hard to swallow. There are moments when we wonder whether this medicine even works, or if it is just some tool to make us simply believe we can be better. But Allah, the One – the only One – in control of this universe has said:

“…And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him.” (Qur’an, 65:3)

So what does it mean to rely on Allah; to have tawakkul in Him?

It means to be firm in your heart.

and through fasting, we could attain tawakkul in our life.

🔔 taharah : ablution also called wudhu, is a cleaning process by clean water before performing any prayers or salah or namaz.

🔔 pillars of salah : must follow all of the 13 pillars of salah starting from niyyah until tartib.

it is important for us, as a muslim, to show respect towards our parents and towards the people in our society regardless of their age, race and religion. it is also obligatory for us, as a student, to always respect our teachers as they are the people who gives us knowledge and shape us to be a better person on this world.

Islamic eschatology is the aspect of Islamic theology incorporating the afterlife and the end of the world, with special emphasis in the Quran on the inevitability of resurrection, the final judgment, and the eternal division of the righteous and the wicked, which take place on the Day of Resurrection.

# data[].attributes.body
what is the meaning of taqwa?  conscious of God, fear of God, enjoining the good and forbidding evil.

when we’re fasting, we’re protecting our own fast.

the fact that we want to fulfil our fast, that means we adhere with Allah's command.

# data[].attributes.body
respecting other people in terms of emotionally and physically such as :

by not eating in front of the people who fast.

by prioritising the elder people whenever we buy something from bazaar.

Ramadan is not only about fasting but also the month of practicing all that characteristics which strengthens the humanity. Ramadan is the month of spirituality, brotherhood, sacrifice, and peace.

The world statistics proved that the quarrels and homicides have been reduced in this Holy month. It is the blessings of fast which stop the men to do wrong things. When a person, will be hungry he is able to feel the hunger of others. Which rise the feeling of charity and forgiveness.

When the Muslims gathered for “Tarawih” in the mosque they also greet each other warmly and even meet to those neighbors whom they didn’t meet the whole year. It represents the great scene of brotherhood. Every poor and rich, black and white, big and small stood in the same line and showed the equality.

# data[].attributes.body
brotherhood in islam is what makes islam peaceful.

by paying regular alms, we are technically strengthening the bond between us and the rest of muslims around us.

the concept of zakah is that we preserve others’ property for the sake of giving the property back at them.

# data[].attributes.body
Ramadan is the month of kindness and generosity. You are expected to be at your best during the month of fasting to gain the full benefit of the ritual, as promised by Allah.

It is easier said than done. Your character is tested throughout the long hours of fasting. You are constantly called on to disprove the saying that a hungry man is an angry man.

Often it is noticed that Ramadan brings with it an overwhelming sense of piety and religiosity in society. Even those who do not observe the fast take great care not to offend the sentiments of the faithful.

So, the ritual strengthens the bonds of friendship and camaraderie often going beyond the realms of religious beliefs.

three things that Allah forbid in islam:

obscenity

fusuq

quarrel

and hajj is our training ground to refrain ourself from committing it.
