In the second week, the topic presented is related to the pillars of Islam. Here I can define the pillars of Islam which are the five basic things of Islam that are considered mandatory for believers and must be convinced.

   In addition, the definition of Jibril's hadith which includes Islam, faith, courtesy and signs of the Day of Judgment. The pillars of Islam are divided into 5, namely Saying 2 words of shahadah Pray 5 times a day Fasting in the month of Ramadan Paying zakat Perform Hajj for those who can afford it. the importance of the pillars of Islam that we need and can apply is to strengthen our relationship with . Connecting with others 3. Purify the heart and avoid major sins 4. Making us true servants of GOD. manners are also presented such as referring to people who are more experts so that we do not get incorrect and unsaheh knowledge.

   The conclusion that can be obtained from this title is that the pillars of Islam must be trusted and give full benefits to Muslims

In the third week, the title is pillars of faith. Here it is told why there are three types of tawhid? And the answer is that when the prophet came to the Quraish community, the Quraish people believed in God but still worshiped idols and believed in multiple gods.

   In addition to that, idols exist because righteous people die and the community is afraid that the next generation will not remember about righteous people and they decorate their graves to prevent the occurrence of idols. Why do angels exist? This question used to play in my mind and finally I got the answer because to help people and every god made must have wisdom.

    There are 3 tawhids, namely rububiyyah, which means recognizing Allah as the only god. The second is uluhiyyah, which is the oneness of worship and asma'wa, the oneness of Allah's names and attributes.

    Next, believe in the book because other books are not guaranteed to be preserved because they have been added and processed. The evidence that God preserves the Qur'an can be witnessed by easy memorization of the Qur'an. Believing in the messenger is that we believe what was conveyed by the messenger and last but not least is the hereafter which is obligatory to believe that it will happen but we do not know when.

    Therefore, as Muslims it is obligatory for us to believe and hold on to this so that life does not go astray.

In week 4, I was given three more pillars of Islam, namely belief in rasul and anbiya, belief in the hereafter and belief in qada' and qadar. Belief in rasul and anbiya means it is compulsory to have belief in rasul and anbiya. Lack of/non-belief means that we are kufr. The wisdom we get is completing our faith as a Muslim.

    The second is belief in the hereafter which means that all our deeds regardless of reward or sin will be rewarded in the afterlife and wisdom when we believe is closer to Allah.

     The last is Qada which is something that has been decided by Allah swt for all his creations, whether it is in terms of its creation, destruction or changes. Whereas qadar is something that has been set at a certain amount since the beginning of time. And the wisdom for this is to become confident in his rulings.

   So we must believe in the pillars of this faith

In the first week,my facilitator introduced us to the concept of usrah.It can refer to meeting or discussion focused on a specific topic,usually based on Islamic or moral principles . The word usrah is taken from “al usrah”. Addtionally, “usrah” can be translated as “family”,signifying a sense of community and unity.

Next, understand the true meaning of manners and knowledge.Adab is derived from and arabic word,meaning behavior and good deeds,while knowledge from S.Naquib Al Attas (2007) defines that knowledge is the arrival of meaning in a person. From Iman Al-Ghazali’s point of view,knowledge is the esence of all things.

Last but not least, knowledgeable manners and the advantages of reading the Qur'an have been given by my facilitator. As a student this matter must be absorbed and used in life in order to be blessed by God.

In this penultimate week, I learned about The concept of Courtesy & its Relation to Islamic Eschatology. Ihsan is when we do worship as if God is visible while eschatology is hereafter. there is a real concept of kindness and connection with eschatology which is

1) GIVING GOODNESS TO OTHER PEOPLE/PARTY

2) GIVE BENEFITS TO OTHER PEOPLE/PARTY AT THE BEST LEVEL POSSIBLE MAYBE

3) DOING THINGS 1 AND 2 BECAUSE ALLAH S.W.T

There are also 3 stories of prophets with al muhsin, namely prophet nuh a.s, prophet ibrahim a.s and prophet yusof a.s. The story of the prophet can be taken from surah 37 surah as saffat verse 79 and 80 which is given as an example of him conveying monotheism to the people and never giving up.

In addition, the story of the prophet Ibrahim is quoted from reprimanding his father and giving the effect of being driven out. Finally, the story of Nabi Yusoh taken from Nabi Yusof was seduced by Al Aziz's wife Zulaikha when Al Aziz was away and she ran away because she did not want to betray Al Aziz.

in the sixth week, there are 3 that I learn which are manners with parents, manners with neighbors and manners when studying.

Here manners with parents are mandatory things that children need to do in order not to become disobedient children. Various aspects that include these manners such as do not say rude things to parents.

In addition, children also need to carry out their duties as children as best as possible. From the aspect of neighborly manners, we should respect each other because they are like a family. This can be taken as an example of the prophet's friend who was mistreated by his neighbor but he did not respond to the act because he remembered that the angel said that the neighbor was the heir. He was very kind because he still considered their neighbor as the heir.

Finally, study manners, various manners that students need to follow such as respecting the teacher and waking up when the teacher wakes up. This etiquette needs to be emphasized in order to be able to reflect oneself as a true Muslim

Manners Among Muslims refers to the behaviour that should be observed when interacting with fellow Muslims. It is extremely important to practice these virtues to maintain a healthy, blessed and harmonious relationship with other Muslims. This is also one of the ways to obtain Allah's pleasure and blessings.

I hope to be given another opportunity to participate in this usrah, and through it, I glad to gain a deeper understanding of the beauty of Islam and can improve myself to become a better Muslim.

I also hope that this usrah continues to improve and that the facilitator remains committed, as she conducts the event well. Minor improvements could be made to the event's layout to avoid wasting time like do more activities and there is no empty time that is not filled.But overall this usrah very good.

In my first usrah, my facilitator talked about “ibadah “

Ibadah in the context of worshipping allah,encompasses all acts of devotion and obedience that are performed with the intention of pleasing him.

Purpose of ibadah:

~connection with Allah means ibadah fosters a personal relationship between the worshipper and allah,allowing individuals to express their devotion and gratitude

~remembrance and reflection means ibadah encourages mindfulness and reflection on ones life and purpose, helping individuals remain focused on their values and goals.

Here’s some examples for ibadah:

1.study

2.eat

3.charity

4.married

5.married

So we as muslim need to grateful to allah and worship only to allah. Then,we also need to accept our qada’ and qadar

Ibadah encompasses a wide variety of acts of worship and devotion in Islam. Here are some of the primary forms:

1. Salah (Prayer): The five daily prayers are a fundamental aspect of ibadah, serving as a direct link between the believer and Allah.

2. Sawm (Fasting): Observing fasts, particularly during the month of Ramadan, is a form of ibadah that promotes self-discipline, empathy for the less fortunate, and spiritual reflection.

3. Zakat (Charity): Giving to those in need is an essential form of worship that purifies wealth and fosters a sense of community and social responsibility.

4. Hajj (Pilgrimage): Undertaking the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a lifetime, if financially and physically able, is a significant act of ibadah that symbolizes unity and equality among Muslims.

Examples of General and Specific Worship

General Worship:

1. Acts of Kindness: Helping neighbors and volunteering

2. Honesty in Daily Life: Conducting oneself with integrity in business

Specific Worship:

1. Salah (Prayer): The five daily prayers are specific acts of worship with prescribed times, rituals, and recitations that create a direct connection with Allah.

2. Fasting during Ramadan: This specific act of worship involves abstaining from food and drink from dawn until sunset during the holy month, fulfilling a religious obligation.

Characteristics of Prayer that Prevent Wrongdoing

1. Regular Discipline: The five daily prayers instill a sense of routine and discipline in a believer's life.

2. Spiritual Reflection: During prayer, individuals engage in self-reflection, which promotes awareness of one's thoughts and behaviors, helping them to avoid wrongdoing.

3. Connection with Allah: Prayer serves as a reminder of Allah’s presence and authority, instilling a consciousness that discourages sinful behavior.

4. Community Aspect: Congregational prayers promote a sense of accountability and support among believers, fostering an environment where individuals encourage one another to lead righteous lives.

5. Focus on Values: The recitations in prayer emphasize moral values and teachings from the Quran, reinforcing ethical behavior and helping individuals align their actions with Islamic principles.

6. Repentance and Forgiveness: The act of seeking forgiveness during prayer allows believers to acknowledge their mistakes and commit to avoiding wrongdoing in the future.

By integrating these aspects, prayer not only serves as an act of worship but also functions as a moral compass that guides individuals away from negative actions.

To prepare for solat with khusyuk (focus and humility), follow these steps:

1. Cleanse Yourself: Perform wudu (ablution) to purify your body.

2. Create a Peaceful Environment: Find a quiet space, free from distractions.

3. Set Your Intention: Remind yourself of the purpose of solat and your connection to Allah.

4. Calm Your Mind: Take deep breaths to relax and center your thoughts.

5. Recite Dua: Begin with a short prayer asking for concentration and sincerity during your solat.

By following these steps, you can enhance your focus and spiritual connection during prayer.

Khusyu’ is important because can make solat meanigfull and spiritually fulfilling.

In conclusion, we as muslim we need to always khusyu’ when perform in solat for get the reward from allah

1.al taah : obey for allah

2.al-jihad : sacrifice and jihad for allah or parents.

3.tawaddu : humanity and humble

4.muhasabah : self reflection

5.iftah : stay away from immorality

point number 4 and 5 related each other.

When we pray,it’s remind us always observed from allah.

Sabr: Fasting requires significant self-discipline and endurance. Muslims abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs from dawn until sunset, which cultivates patience and perseverance. This practice helps individuals develop a stronger will and the ability to withstand challenges, fostering a mindset that embraces resilience in both spiritual and worldly matters.

Rahmah: Fasting also serves as a reminder of Allah's mercy. Through the experience of hunger and thirst, individuals gain empathy for the less fortunate, encouraging acts of charity and compassion. It is a time for reflection on one’s blessings, promoting gratitude and a sense of community. The spiritual mercy during Ramadan is amplified through increased prayers, reading of the Qur'an, and communal gatherings.

Together, sabr and rahmah enrich the experience of sawm, transforming it into a profound spiritual journey that emphasizes self-control, empathy, and a closer connection to Allah.

Ukhwah: Zakat fosters a sense of community and brotherhood among Muslims. By sharing wealth with those in need, zakat strengthens social bonds and promotes solidarity. It encourages individuals to care for one another, creating a support system that uplifts the less fortunate. This communal responsibility reinforces the idea that wealth is not solely for individual benefit but is meant to circulate within the community, ensuring that everyone has their basic needs met.

Tawakkul: Tawakkul emphasizes reliance on Allah while performing acts of charity like zakat. Muslims are encouraged to trust that their giving will yield spiritual rewards and that Allah will provide for them in return. This trust alleviates the fear of loss associated with giving away wealth, fostering a mindset that recognizes Allah as the ultimate provider. Tawakkul in zakat reflects a deep faith that one’s sustenance is in Allah's hands, promoting a sense of peace and contentment in the act of giving.

Together, ukhwah and tawakkul enhance the practice of zakat, transforming it into a powerful tool for social cohesion and spiritual growth.
