Before we begin our discussion, we recite Surah Al-Isra

( 9-21 ) as our introduction for this week's topic.

There are a few points that Sr Dania had discuss with us about this topic which is:-

📍Intention

• First, we must purify the intention of why we want to seek knowledge. As a muslim, it had to be the intention of pleasing Allah, benefiting others and improve oneself. We should not have the intentions of seeking knowledge to show off and be arrogant.

📍Respect Teachers

• No matter how successful or brilliant we are, we must show a good manners towards our teacher. There are few example of small action that can show our respect to them; come to the class early, wearing shariah compliance attire and focus in class. This etiquette implies that honoring teachers is a way of showing gratitude to the knowledge they share, which ultimately comes from Allah.

📍Preparation before class

• It is important to prepare for class, just as you prepare to go to school or work. We can read and try to understand the context of what will be learning before the class according to the timeline given by the lecturers. In this way, we can master the topic more effectively and long-lasting during the class. We may also encounter any questions to the lecturers for deepen knowledge.

During the discussion, Sr Dania also ask us to make a role play on the example of good manners towards lecturers to enhance our understanding.

Then, we conclude our usrah with the recitation of Surah Al Kahfi.

❤❤❤

A man with exceedingly white clothes and exceedingly black hair sat down next to Prophet Muhammad SAW and ask "O Muhammad, tell me about Islam."

📍Islam

• Muhammad SAW said "Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, to give zakat, to fast during Ramadan, and to perform pilgrimage to the Kaaba of you are able to do so.

  
  

Then he said:"Tell me about Iman(faith)."

📍Iman

• Muhammad SAW said "It is to believe in Allah, His angles(malaikat), His Books(kitab), His Messengers(rasul), the Last Day(kiamat), and to believe in the divine decree, both good and bad."

  
  

Then he said:"Tell me about Ihsan."

📍Ihsan

• Muhammad SAW said "It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not see Him, then indeed Allah sees you."

Then he said:"Tell me about the Hour." Muhammad SAW said "The one being asked does not know more than the one asking" He said "Then,tell me about its sign".

📍Signs of Qiyammah

• Muhammad SAW said "That the slave woman will give birth to her mistress, and you will see barefoot, naked, destitude shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings."

Then he left, and Muhammad SAW said to Umar: "O Umar, do you know who the questioner was?" Umar said "Allah and His Messenger know best" Then, Muhammad SAW said,"It was Jibril.He came to teach you your religion."

From Hadith Jibril we can relate with our first week which is,

📍Adab of seeking knowledge based on Hadith Jibril

• Always refer to the knowledgeable person

• Don't afraid,hesitate or shy to ask

• Don't afraid to say "I don't know"

Lastly, we conclude our usrah with the recitation of Surah Al Kahfi

❤❤❤

Pillars of Iman refer to the fundamental beliefs in Islam, which are the core aspects of a muslim's faith. The six pillars of Iman are based on Al-Quran and Hadith, it creates muslim's relationship with Allah and undersatanding of the world.

For this wek, we are going through the first 3 pillars of Iman which are:-

📍Belief in Allah

• It is the main pillars of the six pillars of Iman, and it constitutes the essence of belief in Islam, as knowledging and accepting Allah as our God is at the heart of Islam.It means we have to belief inAllah's existence as the Creator of everything.It also involve constant attempts to obey Allah, and strictly follow His orders.

  
  

📍Belief in His Angles (malā'ikah)

• The belief in angels entails a strong belief in Allah as angels are invisible creations of Allah's and human beings can't see them, but we need to believe the existence of angels and believes the angel's different roles and the attributes bestowned upon them by Allah.

  
  

📍Belief in the books of Allah (kutubullah)

• These books contain the message of Allah to us human beings, consisting of all the commands we need to obey, and the warnings of things we need to be aware of. These include Taurat,Zabur,Injil and Al-Quran,which is revealed to our prophet, Muhammad SAW. Al Quran is our final and complete revelation to understand our life better. Hence, we have to acknowledge the holiness of these books in and we need to believe in Allah's word.

❤❤❤

Before our discussion, we recite Surah An Nuh (25-28) as an introduction for belief in the prophets.

📍Belief in the Prophets

• We have to believe all of Allah's prophet from Adam to Muhammad SAW as they are the bridge between human beings and Allah to guide us towards knowing Allah by receiving the revelation and offer it to others. Muhammad SAW is chosen by Allah among human in order to show us the best example for us to follow and admire its sunnah.

📍Belief in the day of Judgment (yawm al-qiyamah)

• We have to believe that there will a day where all human will be resurrected and held accountable for their deeds. It is situated at the end of time that can be happen anytime. Hence, belief in the day of Judgment inspires us to discipline our hearts and minds to abide by the rules of Islam in order to prepare for the judgment.

📍Belief in divine decree (qadar)

• It means that our lives are controlled by Allah, who has designed our whole lives for us in advance but is yet giving us the chance to sometimes make choices of our own. As the quote goes, "Allah is the best planner". Hence, we must believe that every good or bad things happen to us is a part of Allah's divine wisdom.

• We also had our friend who share about Qada and Qadar that happened to her during high school. She shared that despite she was busy with handling events as a head prefect and felt down during trial SPM, she managed to get straight A's in SPM. It shows that Allah had planned our lives perfectly and the best for us.

  
  

  Lastly, we end our discussion with the recitation of Surah Al Kahfi

  
  

  ❤❤❤

Before our discussion, we recite Surah Al Isra' (22-39) as our introduction for this week's topic.

📍Ihsan

• Ihsan is a concept in Islam that refers to the act of doing good or performing one's duties in the best possible way, with excellence and perfection.

• The word 'Ihsan' is repeated 211 times in the quran

📍Al-Muhsin (a person who has the quality of Ihsan)

• Based on the Quran, there are 3 characeristics of al-muhsin which are;

  📎 Giving goodness to others.

  📎Providing goodness to others to the best of one's ability.

  📎Performing actions 1 and 2 for the sake of Allah SWT.

📍Example Prophets that are Al-Muhsin

• Nuh - He conveyed the message from Allah for over 950 years.

• Ibrahim

• Yusof

Lastly, we close our usrah with the recitation of Surah Al-Kahfi.

❤❤❤

First of all, The word 'Adab' is commonly understood as the Islamic etiquette of having good manners and character. Prophet Muhammad SAW is known to be a person of the best etiquette and moral values concerning his relationships with Allah SWT, himself and others. Hence,

We and Sr Dania discussed about three types of Adab towards mankind which is:-

📍Adab towards parents

• Always praying for them by recite a doa,

  اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْلِي ذُنُوبِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيْرًا

• We must being patient and and tolerant instead of giving vent to their anger if they say or do anything that we don't like.

• We must show our big gratitude to our parents by obeying them, always take care of their hearts and also do good service to them as its secures their blessings and grace in our life.

• We must treasure all the moments with them and love them with our heart and soul to consider this as a privilege and a source of reward from Allah in the eternal world.

📍Adab towards neighbour

• We must always respect our neighbour regardless their religion. As we are in a diversal country, we must respect other cultural despite their loud celebration.

• To maintain the peaceful environment of the community, we must look after and be aware about the situation of neighbours by sharing or exchange foods because it is mentioned in Hadith:- The Messenger of Allah, (Peace and blessings be upon him) says:" He is not a believer who eats his fill whilst his neighbour beside him goes hungry."

📍Adab towards friends

• We should choose friends who can positively influence us towards kindness and fulfill our rights as a Muslim.

• Besides, we can't judge anyone who may don't satisfied the characteristic of a Muslim. We as a friends should company them towards the right path that can leads both of us to Allah and Paradise.

• Avoid backbiting of our friends as relationship in Islam emphasize loyalty, trust and sincerity.

There are a few points that Sr Fatin had discuss with us about this topic which is:-

📍Intention

• Intention (niyyah) refers to the inner resolve or purpose in one's heart to perform an action for the sake of Allah. It is essential for the acceptance of deeds, as actions are judged based on the intention behind them. A sincere intention to please Allah, rather than seeking personal gain or recognition, is a core principle in Islam.

📍Amal

• Amal refers to good deeds or action performed by a person, with the intention to seek the pleasure of Allah.

• One of the example of Amal in our daily life that Sr Fatin had mentioned is reciting a doa after waking up in the morning such as:

  الحمد لله الذي أحيانا بعد ما أماتنا وإليه النشور

  "All praise is due to Allah, who has given us life after He has caused us to die, and to Him is the return."

📍Ihsan

• Ihsan refers to doing something with the utmost sincerity, care, and striving to perform acts of worship in the best possible manner, as though one sees Allah.

• It's the highest level of faith, going beyond duty (Islam) and belief (Iman), and embodying beauty and excellence in every action.

• For example, feeding a cat and smiling at everyone

• Sr Fatin said that "Ibadah does not guarantee success, but it encourages success with blessings."

❤❤❤

📍Solat

• To gain a blessed prayer, we should perform solat with sincere intention in worshipping Allah, feeling fear of Allah's punishment and always practice zikrillah as Islam preferred us to recite Dua Iftitah.

• Solat reminded us of the Hereafter. Each prayer acts as a reminder of the ultimate purpose of life and prepares one for the final return to Allah.

• In addition, Solat builds self-discipline and consistency as each prayer requires regularity (five times a day), teaching discipline and time management in one's life.

📍Sawm

• Sawm strengthening taqwa by controlling desires and increasing awareness of Allah. Thus, we become more mindful of Allah's presence and commands.

• Sawm purifies the soul by detaching it from worldly distractions and encourages a focus on spirituality and self-reflection.

• Sawm also encourages one to appreciate the blessings of food, water, and daily comforts, and to develop gratitude for Allah's provisions

📍Zakat

• Zakat purifies one’s wealth by giving a portion to those in need, and this act cleanses the heart from greed and attachment to materialism.

• Giving zakat fosters humility by recognizing that wealth is a trust from Allah, and sharing it reflects generosity and care for others.

📍Haji

• The rites of Haji symbolize various important moments in Islamic history, leading to a deeper understanding of sacrifice, faith, and devotion.

• Performing Haji also increasing our taqwa as the long journey and the rituals, cultivate deep submission to Allah’s will and teachings.

In conclusion, there's no Ibadah that don't give benefit to us, as long as our intention is to seek the pleasure of Allah, all of our doings will get 'pahala' from Allah.

As this week is our last week in 2024, we play a game where we have to write our dua for next year and recite it. Aamin~

❤❤❤

📍Ablution

• Ensure our wudu is valid and complete. This will helps to purify ourselves from minor impurity (hadas kecil).

• Thus, it is encouraged for us to cough 3 times during urinating to help expel any remaining urine so that complete purification can be done before performing ablution.

📍Find a quiet place

• When performing solat, choose a clean and quiet place where we can avoid any distraction in order to build a peaceful environment to pray

📍Recite with understanding

• When we know the meaning of our recitation in Solat, we tend to focus on the Quranic verse as we are speaking directly to Allah.

📍Correct posture

• Stand in the correct position with humility, keeping your focus on Allah.

• Maintain an upright posture also can strengthen our focus towards Solat. For example, during sujud, we’re closest to Allah, and the physical act of prostration reminds us of the significance of that moment, increasing our sense of connection to Allah.

📍Focus Your Intention (Niyyah)

• Have a clear and sincere intention in your heart to perform the prayer for the sake of Allah. This aligns your heart with the act of worship.

❤❤❤

📍Obedience

• When one prays with full concentration, they submit to Allah's commands with sincerity and humility. Khusyuk helps strengthen a Muslim’s commitment to fulfilling religious duties, increasing their devotion and compliance with Allah's guidance.

📍Jihad

• Jihad is internal struggle to maintain faith and righteousness.

• Solat with khusyuk requires constant effort to maintain focus and resist distractions. Hence, it builds spiritual strength by battling the distractions of the world and helps cultivate patience and perseverance in both worship and daily life.

📍Self-reflection (Muhasabah)

• Solat with khusyuk creates a time for deep reflection as it reminded us about our relationship with Allah, our shortcomings, and our need for forgiveness.

• This self-awareness may affect our daily life to be more cautious of doing something bad and increase our intention to do amal ibadah.

📍Humility (Tawaddu)

• Khusyuk in solat helps us detach from the distractions of the ego and worldly desires. When we are fully focused on Allah, our heart humbles itself, and our pride and arrogance fade.

• This cultivates a state of tawaddu, as we are reminded that all power, success, and blessings come from Allah alone, leading to a deeper sense of humility.

• In addition, it will improve one's character , fostering a humble attitude in everyday life.

📍Iffah

• Solat with khusyuk promoting self-restraint that will lead a modest and pure life as it helps us resist sinful behaviors, encouraging a life of dignity, moral integrity, and purity.

• Khusyuk purifies the heart by removing distractions and focusing solely on Allah. A purified heart is less likely to be drawn to immoral or immodest actions, thus enhancing our iffah by making modesty and chastity a natural part of our character.

❤❤❤

📍Sabr

• 💎During sawm

  • By controlling hunger and anger during fasting , we become more aware of our emotions. Thus, we learn to restrain anger and avoid negative speech.

  • Use time wisely by engaging in prayer, Qur’an recitation, and acts of kindness to keep your mind and heart occupied

• 💎Outside Ramadan

  • Endure hardships while believing that Allah's help is near.

  • Respond with kindness rather than react with frustration while dealing with people whether in family, work or friendships.

📍Takrim

• 💎During sawm

  • Avoiding bad habits like gossip, anger, or bad language. Honor the sacredness of Ramadan by treating it with reverence.

  • Be mindful of others, especially those who are fasting, and avoid making them feel uncomfortable if they cannot eat or drink.

• 💎Outside Ramadan

  • Showing respect to everyone around you, especially elders and parents. Listening attentively, being kind, and helping those who need assistance to show respect in daily life.

  • Respect people’s views, cultures, and beliefs, and treat them with dignity, just as Islam teaches us to do.

📍Rahmah

• 💎During sawm

  • Fasting increases our empathy for those who are less fortunate, as we experience hunger. Use this feeling to give charity (zakat or sadaqah) and help others in need.

  • Being gentle and forgiving toward others, especially family members.

• 💎Outside Ramadan

  • Be compassionate in our daily interactions with everyone, especially the vulnerable—whether it’s giving a smile or helping a neighbor

  • We can also offer support to those who are struggling emotionally or financially. Compassion is about actively caring for others and being there when needed.
