         <description><![CDATA[<p><br></p><p>as we know , it is obligatory to accomplish the 5 pillars of Islam throughout our lifetime.  This pillars define the basic identity of Muslims - faith , beliefs and practices - and bind together a worldwide of believers into a fellowship of shared values .</p><p><br></p><p><strong>CONCLUSION OF HADITH JIBREEL </strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li><p>it is very important for us to be aware of our surroundings . The da’wah , the call to Islam is very much predicated upon the building of relationships with people for the sake of Allah ; that requires paying attention to the situations of people around us </p></li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><p>this hadith close related to the big three : Islam , Iman &amp; Ihsan - path towards Allah .</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p><em><mark>first level ( Islam )</mark> : you force yourself and bring yourself to do actions that Allah wants you to do</em></p><p><em><mark>second level ( Iman )</mark> : streghtening your relationship with Allah with those actions, then started taste the sweetness of it </em></p><p><em><mark>third level ( Ihsan )</mark> : you worship Allah as if you see Him even you cannot see Him , and you know that He sees you</em></p><p><br></p><ul><li><p>explained about the signs of hereafter . One of the interpretations that relates to modern time is “ the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress “ - the one that who gives birth becomes the servant of the one who is born . Usually it refers to parents and their children .</p></li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><p>based on this hadith , we can learn etiquette in terms of seeking knowledge . “ Jibreel came dressed in a very nice and clean way . He sat in front of the Prophet ( pbuh ) in a very respectful and humble way “ . Many scholars took the etiquettes of seeking knowledge such as students should have decent apparel , look clean and schow a high level of respect towards their teachers</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p>In the end , all of this is from Allah’s blessings . We still have to acknowledge that no matter how much effort we put in, our wealth and success will always be in the hands and bounty of Allah .</p>]]></description>

Belief in <strong>Allah</strong> provides purpose, while faith in <strong>angels</strong> and <strong>scriptures</strong> reinforces trust in divine guidance.

         <description><![CDATA[<p><br></p><p><strong>IHSAN </strong></p><p><br></p><p>When someone believes in Allah strongly, he reflects on the fact that the Compassionate Creator is present and watching, and does not seek for the attention of other than Him, and he thinks that turning to other than Him and seeking help from other than Him is at odds with proper courtesy towards that status of Ihsan</p><p><br></p><p><strong><mark>Practical Applications of Ihsan</mark></strong></p><p><br></p><ol><li><p><em>Intention</em> : Every action should begin with a sincere intention for Allah’s sake, turning daily routines into acts of worship</p></li><li><p><em>Mindfulness in Worship</em> : Prayers and other acts of worship should be performed with full concentration, embodying the state of devotion as if seeing Allah</p></li><li><p><em>Excellence in Work</em> : Approach all tasks with diligence and integrity, aiming for perfection</p></li><li><p><em>Kindness and Charity</em> : Extend kindness and charity to all, as Allah commands justice and doing good (Ihsan) to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, and neighbors (4:36).</p></li><li><p><em>Environmental Stewardship</em> : Respect the environment, avoiding waste and harm, in line with the principle of not causing corruption on earth (7:55-56).</p></li><li><p><em>Continuous Improvement</em> : Commit to lifelong learning and self-improvement, nurturing the soul and intellect</p></li></ol><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>ESCHATOLOGY</strong></p><p><br></p><p>The meaning of eschatology is from language</p><p>Greek, eschaton, “knowledge of</p><p>final affairs”, teachings about the end</p><p>history, which includes Messianism,</p><p>The Last Judgment, and the final victory</p><p>believers</p><p><br></p><p><mark>THE MAJOR SIGNS OF THE DOOMSDAY</mark></p><p><br></p><ul><li><p>According to the narration of Ahmad (Sahih Muslim (5238) and Musnad Ahmad (6881) with a tahqiq from Ahmad Syakir)</p><p>he added: And Abdullah said that while reading the book and I am of the opinion that the first sign would be the rise of the sun from the west</p></li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><p>Ibn Hajar combines between the appearance of Dajjal and the rise of the sun from the west as the first sign: “From that narration, we can conclude that the appearance of Dajjal as the first sign of the doomsday which indicates that there is a change in the world. And this ends with the death of Prophet Isa AS.”</p></li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><p>While the rise of the sun from the west indicates the change in nature and this ends with the coming of the doomsday and emergence of Dabbatul Ard. It probably happens on the same day as the rise of the sun from the west</p></li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><p>The wisdom is, when the sun rises from the west, the door of repentance is closed, then there is the emergence of Dabbatul Ard of which its emergence is to distinguish between mukmin and kafir as the completion of the closing of the door of repentance. While the first sign is the fire which gathers all humans.

         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Adab</strong> : often used synonymously with <em>akhlak</em> but refers to practices and outward behavior , addresses the proper or improper ways of acting such as speaking respectfully to someone</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Akhlak</strong> : translated as <em>morality </em>, represents the moral philosophy or the why behind actions . It's the inner quality , the moral character rooted in the heart and soul</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><mark>ADAB AND SURAH MARYAM ( 41-50 )</mark></p><p><br></p><ul><li><p>surah maryam , the story of ibrahim and his father serves as a background for understanding adab towards parents</p></li><li><p>the story highlights the importance of maintaining adab even in the face of adversity</p></li><li><p>the repeated use of " <strong>Ya abati </strong>" highlights Ibrahim's use of beautiful language to address his father , term of <strong>endearment </strong>, showcasing deep <strong>love</strong> and <strong>respect</strong></p></li></ul><p><br></p><p><mark>BACKGROUND OF SURAH MARYAM</mark></p><p><br></p><ul><li><p>Ibrahim AS was a prophet of Allah while his father was not just an idol worshiper, but an idol maker. This created a significant conflict for Ibrahim AS.  He was commanded to spread Allah's message, but this conflicted with his love and respect for his father</p><p><br></p></li><li><p>Despite this conflict, Ibrahim AS tried his best to invite his father towards the truth , he did not insult or confront his father for his beliefs. He invited his father to reflect on the irrationality of idol worship, highlighting that idols cannot hear, see, or provide benefit.  He appealed to his father's reason and encouraged him to think critically.</p></li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><p>in verse 44 ; Ibrahim AS avoided words that could hurt his father's feelings or push him further away. He did not use terms like "kafir" (disbeliever) or other harsh language , he warned of Allah's punishment but used soft language ("Yang masakah"—the punishment will touch you), avoiding harsh or threatening words</p></li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><p>The Father's Response (Verse 46): The father responded aggressively and rejected Ibrahim's message. He expressed hostility, anger, hatred, and resentment, and threatened to stone Ibrahim if he did not stop.  The word "rejam" (to stone) is interpreted by Ibn Abbas as a violent and harsh reaction.  The father essentially banished Ibrahim, saying he didn't want to see him anymore</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p><mark>ADAB ( ETIQUETTES ) LEARNED FROM IBRAHIM'S STORY</mark></p><p><br></p><p>- <strong>Continuous Supplication: </strong> we should persistently pray for our parents' guidance ( hidayah ) if they are non-believers, and for blessings and ease of burdens if they are believers</p><p><br></p><p>- ⁠⁠<strong>Kind Words and Respectful Language:</strong> use kind, considerate, and respectful language towards parents, regardless of their faith</p><p><br></p><p>- ⁠<strong>Compassion and Kindness:</strong> show compassion and kindness even when faced with harsh treatment from parents.  Strive to be kind despite challenges</p><p><br></p><p>- ⁠<strong>Beautiful Speech:</strong> use beautiful and polite language, choosing words carefully to express yourself kindly and thoughtfully.  This applies to interactions with everyone</p><p><br></p><p>- ⁠<strong>Humility:</strong> practice humility in interactions with parents and others</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion , we shouldn't apply only towards our parents but also our surrounding - friends , neighbours , strangers so we can keep a good relationships ( ukhwah ) between Muslims .</p>]]></description>

It is a necessary basic prerequisite for performing any form of worship or good deed. In other words, Niyyah refers to the motive behind an act, which is to attain Allah’s pleasure and draw yourself closer to Him.</p><p><br></p><ul><li><p>Aspects of Niyyah</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p>In Islam, there are two aspects of Niyyah. Thefirst one is the intention itself. The second one is the intention for the One for whom the act is carried out. Making the intention is what helps distinguish an ordinary act from an act for worship that is performed for the sake of Allah SWT.</p><p><br></p><ul><li><p>Applying the right amal </p></li></ul><p><br></p><p>Make sure you are doing the right action according to Qur’an and Sunnah. Ask yourself “Is this act prescribed in Islam?” or“Is it done the way Prophet Muhammad has taught us</p><p>Don’t let your intention shift halfway. For example, if you’re praying to please Allah, don’t start hoping for people to notice your devotion.Constantly renew and protect your intention.</p><p><br></p><ul><li><p>Internalising the Ihsan</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p>After you begin the action, especially in acts of worship like prayer or fasting:Remind yourself: “Allah is watching me now.”Ask: “Am I doing this as if I see Him?”</p><p>Worshipping alone, unseen by anyone, is one of the strongest ways to build ihsan.The heart learns to be present just for Allah.Even in the middle of the act, quietly say in your heart:“Ya Allah, this is for You. Let me be sincere.”This guards against the heart wandering and refocuses you.</p>]]></description>

The hajj is the fifth of the fundamental Muslim practices and institutions known as the five pillars of Islam </p><p><br></p><p><strong>(WHAT IS RELATION TO THE AL-TADHIYYAH AND HAJJ ?)</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li><p>hajj &amp; umrah involve multiple forms of al-Tadhiyyah </p><p>( sacrifice ) - leaving behind comfort , wealth &amp; daily routines to fulfill a sacred journey for the sake of Allah</p></li><li><p>physical sacrifice of an animal during Hajj ( Qurbani ) symbolizes the willingness to give up what is beloved for Allah just as Prophet Ibrahim was willing to sacrifice his son</p></li><li><p>the spirit of tadhiyyah teaches humility , obedience &amp; the readiness to submit fully to Allah's will</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>( HOW TO GAIN TAQWA ON HAJJ ? )</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li><p>Taqwā is not limited to physical acts. Allah ﷻ says, “Whoever honours the symbols of Allah — indeed, it is from the <strong>taqwā of hearts</strong>” (22:32). The heart is the true home of taqwa. Cultivating it is among the most important inner acts during ḥajj</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p><mark>SABR</mark>  :</p><p>often translated as<em> patience ,</em> refers to holding back your reactions and being in control of your emotions, and to <strong>persevere</strong> in doing something you dislike, for the sake of Allah. Ṣabr is a key provision in your journey to Allah</p><p><br></p><p><strong>i)</strong> <strong>sabr in obeying Allah</strong></p><ul><li><p>needed in <strong>every act of obedience to Allah</strong>. Ṣabr is practised when performing the rituals of ḥajj such as the ṭawāf , saʿy , standing at ʿArafah , staying at Muzdalifah , throwing the pebbles at the Jamarāt and maintaining continuous remembrance and supplication to Allah</p></li></ul><p><strong>ii) sabr in staying away from sins</strong></p><ul><li><p>during ḥajj , you refrain from even permissible actions such as using perfumes , engaging in marital relations , cutting hair , and trimming nails . If you can be patient with these minor prohibitions , it becomes easier to exercise patience in avoiding sins</p></li></ul><p><strong>iii) sabr in regards to the trials Allah has decreed</strong></p><ul><li><p>hajj is filled with difficulties and uncertainties . You will face inconvenience , difficulty and discomfort during your journey due to the crowds , unfamiliar customs, and even the behavior of some individuals . However , this is the perfect training ground for developing patience . The Prophet ﷺ said , “ Whoever tries to be patient , Allah will grant him patience ” (Muslim)</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>PRACTICING SABR &amp; TAQWA IN HAJJ BY :</strong></p><p><br></p><p>( <em>CONTROLLING TONGUE</em> )</p><ul><li><p>during ḥajj, you will be pushed to your limits by those around you or the systems . You may feel like arguing , cursing or using vulgar language , however Allah has specifically warned against it</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p>( <em>CONTROLLING ANGER</em> )</p><ul><li><p>ʿAbdullāh b. al-Mubārak (raḥimahullāh) was asked, “Summarise for us good character in one phrase.” He replied, “<strong>Avoiding anger</strong>.”</p></li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><p>Ḥajj is the time to control your anger, especially when you may be feeling irritable due to lack of sleep, tiredness and disorganisation. If you feel angry, seek Allah’s protection from Shayṭān, perform wuḍū, move away and control your tongue. Ḥajj is the time to develop forbearance: to overlook people’s faults and to refrain from reacting when provoked</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p>( <em>CONTROLLING EYES )</em></p><ul><li><p>gazing at ḥarām gives Shayṭān open access to your heart. Protecting yourself from looking at ḥarām has become especially more important today, with the increase in shamelessness, easy access to ḥarām images and the normalisation of it. The eye is the entry point to your heart. What you look at affects your emotions, desires and thoughts</p></li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li><p>once you see something ḥarām and it captivates you, your heart becomes imprisoned by it, and you can’t stop thinking about it. This is why scholars said that lowering the gaze liberates the heart from the clutches of one’s desires. Allah ﷻ says, “Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their chastity. That is purer for them…” (24:30). Thus, one of the most powerful means to <strong>purify your soul</strong> is guarding your gaze and protecting your private parts</p></li></ul><p><br></p>]]></description>
