We began our usrah with a brief and fun taaruf session. I've got to know so many amazing people from all around Malaysia. It made me think that we were actually brought together to gain insightful knowledge through this wonderful usrah we'll be having every week. How exciting! I genuinely adore our facilitator. Her bright and bubbly personality, along with her amazingly talented storytelling skills makes our usrah super engaging and fun to learn!

So our very first lesson we learned was about 'Manners of online class". It's simple but a very important aspect of online learning. A few points I've learned from this lesson included:

Try to always keep your camera open during lectures.

Always respond whenever you're asked.

Stay focused throughout the class.

Mute your microphone so you wouldn't disturb other students with your background noise.

Always thank the lecturer after class ends.

Well that's all from me this week! Bye!

Overview:

We had a brief outline of roleplay

We learned about Hadith Jibril

We played a quiz on quizzes about Islam, Iman and ihsan.

On this week's session, we learned about Hadith Jibril which is also known as, Ummu Sunnah. This hadith is the second of the famous 40 hadiths of Imam Nawawi. This Hadith is so fascinating because it covers the 3 fundamentals of our religion. Islam, Iman and Ihsan.

Islam:
The Prophet S.A.W. explained that the first category consists of external actions, both speech
and conduct. The first external action is to testify that there is no deity save Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. The remaining acts, namely, regular prayer, regular alms, fasting in Ramadan, and Pilgrimage, all involve conduct that can be described as either involving the body, e.g., Salat and Sawm, or involving property, e.g., paying Zakat, or a composite of the two, e.g., Hajj.

Iman:
Technically, Iman is a firm belief or faith arising out of knowledge and conviction. Some scholars including Imam Abu Hanifah define Iman 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 man who knows and convinces beyond doubt in the unity of Allah S.W.T., His Laws and the Revealed Guidance is called Mu’min (Faithful). This faith will lead him to a life of
obedience and submission to the Will of God. One who lives this life of submission is known as Muslim. This should clearly bring home the fact that without Iman, no man can be a true Muslim. In a nutshell, a Mu’min is a Muslim, but not every Muslim is a Mu’min.

Ihsan:
In hadith Jibril, Ihsan is defined as to worship Allah as if you see him for, verily, even though you do not see Him, He surely sees you.
The Prophet S.A.W. explained that Ihsan is to worship Allah in this world in the manner appropriate for His presence and His direct observation [of His servant], as if the servant sees
Him with his heart, looking upon Him as he worships Him.
The second part of the Hadith of the Prophet S.A.W. explaining Ihsan is that “if you do not see Him, then He sees you.” Because it is very difficult to attain the level that allows you to worship Allah as though you see Him, the Prophet S.A.W. told us that we may seek to attain that level by means of our knowledge that He certainly sees us.

Well, that's all from me now. Thank you!

Overview:

We had a recitation of Surah Al-Kahf Ayat 1-10.

One of our sisters shared us about Al-Khawarizmi.

Another one of our sisters shared the story of Ummu Haram.

We learned about the Pillars of Iman Part 1

In this week's session, we learned about 3 of the 6 pillars of Iman:

Belief in Allah:
- To firmly believe that Allah S.W.T. exists.
- To firmly believe in Allah's beautiful names and attributes.
- To avoid doing things that could nullify our Iman.

Belief in Angels:
- Muslims are to believe in Angels; the supernatural beings who act under the direction of God.
-They are the unique creation of Allah in the form of spirits, created from light .
-They are invisible and not perceivable through human beings’ regular sight and vision, except to Prophet S.A.W. on some occasions, with the Will of Allah S.W.T.

Belief in Kitab:
In Islam, the other divine books include the Tawrah revealed to Prophet Musa A.S., the Zabur to Prophet Dawud A.S., and the Injil to Prophet Isa A.S. When Allah S.W.T. revealed
these divine Books, apart from al-Quran, He did not guarantee to preserve them. Instead, He left the task of preserving them to the rabbis and priests, but they failed to preserve them or take proper care of them, so they became altered and distorted.
- We should always strive to act according to the Quran.

That's all from me today, Thank you!

Overview:

We learned about the dua when we look in the mirror.

Group 1 presented their roleplay on "Adab or Ahkam:  Which one is important?"

We learned about the Pillars of Islam Part 2.

In this week's session we learned about the dua for when we looked in the mirror and  the second part of the pillars of Iman.

Dua when looking in the mirror:

ﺍﻟﻠَّـﻬُﻢَّ ﻛَﻤَﺎ ﺣَﺴَّﻨْﺖَ ﺧَﻠْﻘِﻲ ﻓَﺤَﺴِّﻦْ ﺧُﻠُﻘِﻲ

Translation (Malay): "Ya Allah sebagaimana Engkau telah cantikkan kejadianku (rupaku), maka cantikkanlah juga akhlakku."

Translation (English): "O Allah, just as You have made my external features beautiful, make my character beautiful as well."

Belief in the Prophets and Messengers:

Muslims have to believe that Allah appoints some prophets as His Messengers.
Messengers were assigned to bring the glad tidings and warnings, preacher to the true path and religion, guide mankind, and bring them out from the darkness into the bright side. Indeed, their delegation is to save the nations from polytheism or idolatry, to observe societies from any
corruption.
- What is the difference between Nabi and Rasul?
ANS: Nabi were sent down to inform the things people didn't know. There are thousands of nabi but only few are mentioned in the Quran. Nabi preach about Islam to the those who already believe in them. Rasul were sent down to those who doesn't believe in Allah/ are not in the straight path.
-We also have to firmly believe in the Rasul Ulu Azmi.

Belief in the Last Day:
Muslims must be utterly convinced and fully believe in:
- The Day of Resurrection.
- The Hisab will happen
- Jaza' will happen

Only Allah knows the exact day of the occurance.

Belief in Qada' and Qadar:

Qada' refers to the belief that Allah S.W.T. has ordained to every person certain matters over which the person has no control such as his parentage and lineage, his identity and ethnicity, when and where he is born, and when and where he will die, etc.

Qadar refers to the belief that Allah S.W.T. has formulated, programmed and pre-measured His system for everything, and these are known as the Laws of Allah S.W.T. or the laws of nature, the Sunnatullah. It means that
everything in the universe runs and operates according to the system or formulae He has set, ordained, and pre-measured.

Thank you!

Ihsan:
Meaning of Ihsan:
In Hadith Jibril, we learned that Ihsan is defined as to worship Allah as if you see him for, verily, even though you do not see Him, He surely sees you. This definition indicates a Muslim to strive to do Ibadah excellently and to beautify his actions to attain Allah's Love and Pleasure.
Ihsan derives from the Arabic word Al-Husnu.

3 Types of Ihsan:

1. Ihsan towards Allah

3. To do every action in the best possible manner.

Example of Ihsan towards people:

Some points on Eschatology:
- It is knowledge on the Akhirah.
- It is one of the branches of theology (Study of religion)
- Only Allah knows the day when the resurrection happens.
-There are already so many signs of the Last Day, and many    more are yet to come.

Our life is like an exciting rollercoaster ride full of ups and downs, sharp turns and corners, unexpected surprises on each track and precious memories made along the way. It really is as wild as you think. That's why we should cherish our life. Because our life is a gift from Allah S.W.T. And Allah can take it away at any moment, which is why we have to treasure it and live accordingly to the Quran and the sunnah, so we can be successful in this life and the hereafter.

We have to come to an understanding that this life has many  happy and sad moments. Surely, we can cherish every happy moments in our life. But what about the sad moments? We cannot simply go ahead and be depressed and anxious about our problems all day long.

So how should we handle such situations?
Ans:

Remember Allah (dhikr)

Always make dua.

Turn sadness into kindness

Distracting oneself from sadness

Practice simple habits of self-love

Why should we cherish our life?

Allah has decide to bring us to the world because He knew it is best for us.

This usrah session has been an amazing and wonderful time and I've gained much beneficial knowledge. Much has been learned and I thank Allah for granting me such knowledge through this usrah. Knowing how to treat parents excellently and treating neighbors with kindness has been an eye-opening reminder to me. Being aware of the concept of eschatology has been very insightful and I appreciate learning such concept.

This usrah is absolutley excellent and i have no complaints whatsoever. However, i am aware that in the e-portfolio criteria, we must include an improvement so i will only add this: Perhaps an addition of extra quizzes and games.
Nevertheless, this usrah is already perfect to me and i have enjoyed every moment of it.

Thank you to my dear facilitator, Qistina. You have always managed to brighten up my day whenever we have an usrah session. I pray that Allah will make things easy for you and make all your dreams come true.

And to everyone else too!

Thank you!
