         <description><![CDATA[<p>The Hadith Jibril through a story narrated from Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he said :</p><p>While we were one day sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), there appeared before us a man dressed in extremely white clothes and with very black hair. No traces of journeying were visible on him, and none of us knew him. He sat down close by the Prophet (peace be upon him), rested his knee against his thighs, and said, <strong>"O Muhammad! Inform me about Islam."</strong></p><p>The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said,<strong> "Islam is that you should testify that there is no deity except Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger, that you should perform salah, pay the Zakah, fast during Ramadan, and perform Hajj to the House, if you are able to do so."</strong></p><p>The man said,<strong> "You have spoken truly."</strong> We were astonished at his questioning him (the Messenger) and telling him that he was right, but he went on to say, <strong>"Inform me about iman."</strong></p><p>He (the Messenger of Allah) answered, "It is that you believe in Allah and His ange<strong>ls and His Books and His Messengers and in the Last Day, and in qadar (fate), both in its good and in its evil aspects."</strong> He said, <strong>"You have spoken truly."</strong></p><p>Then he (the man) said, <strong>"Inform me about Ihsan."</strong> He (the Messenger of Allah) answered, <strong>"It is that you should serve Allah as though you could see Him, for though you cannot see Him yet (know that) He sees you."</strong></p><p>He said, <strong>"Inform me about the Hour."</strong> He (the Messenger of Allah) said, <strong>"About that, the one questioned knows no more than the questioner."</strong> So he said, <strong>"Well, inform me about the signs thereof."</strong> He said, <strong>"They are that the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress, that you will see the barefooted, naked, destitute, the herdsmen of the sheep (competing with each other) in raising lofty buildings."</strong> Thereupon the man went of. I waited a while, and then he (the Messenger of Allah) said, <strong>"O Umar, do you know who that questioner was?"</strong> I replied,<strong> "Allah and His Messenger know better."</strong> He said, <strong>"That was Jibril (the Angel Gabriel). He came to teach you your religion."</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>That’s all from me, thank you ! 💗</p>]]></description>

         <title>Usrah Week 6: Adab towards Parents</title>
         <author>eisya18106</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/eisya18106/81cxuvkcw0d5k0iy/wish/3332696846</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li><p><strong>Adab towards Parents </strong></p></li></ol><ul><li><p>Respect and Obedience: Always show respect and speak kindly to your parents. Obey them in all matters that are not against Islamic teachings</p></li><li><p>Care and Compassion: Take care of them, especially as they grow older. Islam teaches that serving your parents is a noble act</p></li><li><p>Gratitude: Be thankful for their efforts in raising and supporting you. Always make dua (prayers) for them, asking Allah to bless them</p></li><li><p>Avoid Disrespect: Never raise your voice or argue with them, and be patient, even if you disagree</p></li></ul><ol start="2"><li><p><strong>Based on The Story of Nabi Ibrahim</strong></p></li></ol><ul><li><p>The language style used by Prophet Ibrahim (AS) is very simple, namely by using the word: يَا أَبَتِ Imam al-Syac (RA) gave the reason why Prophet Ibrahim a.s used that word and did not use the word: يَا أَبِي . He said that the word: has a deeper insight when compared to the word: . Prophet Ibrahim a.s wanted to say that although Azar was a father, in his love it seemed to have two loves, namely the love of a father and a mother.</p></li><li><p>The use of questions by Prophet Ibrahim a.s was none other than so that his father would not feel inferior or that Prophet Ibrahim a.s wanted to show his superiority and greatness (al-Syacrawi. This careful situation and debate can be seen in the words of Prophet Ibrahim a.s who did not directly ask about the nature of his father's worship by saying:</p><p>"<strong><em>Why does you worship Satan..?</em></strong>", but Prophet Ibrahim ended the fact and replaced it with the characteristics and attributes while also expressing the nature of his worship, namely: "<strong><em>.. something that does not hear, does not see and cannot help you in the slightest?</em>"</strong></p><p>With that, Prophet Ibrahim (AS) stated to his father that the worship was not worthy of being worshipped because it had characteristics that were not worthy of being worshipped, namely not hearing, not seeing and not being able to help.</p></li><li><p>Prophet Ibrahim a.s invited his father to Islam politely and softly through the beginning of the kalam by repeating the words: يَا أَبَتِ Prophet Ibrahim AS also did not say that his father was a fool or called himself a wise man. Prophet Ibrahim AS said to his father: What he meant was: "<strong><em>O my father, indeed, some knowledge has come to me that has not come to you, so follow me, I will surely show you the straight path.</em></strong>"</p></li><li><p>However, the impact and results of Prophet Ibrahim's preaching were not as desired. His invitation using these methods did not get satisfactory results, and his father even cursed and threatened Prophet Ibrahim AS by saying: His father said: "<strong><em>Do you hate my gods, O Ibrahim? If you do not desist, I will surely stone you and leave me for a long time"</em></strong> <strong>(al-Quran, Maryam 19:46)</strong></p></li><li><p>Responding with the best answer</p><p>After getting a harsh answer and attitude from his father, Prophet Ibrahim a.s did not say anything except with words of farewell and peace, namely:</p><p>Ibrahim said: "<strong><em>May peace be upon you</em></strong>" <strong>(al-Qur'an, Maryam 19: 47).</strong></p><p>After responding with a good answer, Prophet Ibrahim continued with a promise to ask for forgiveness for his father. Prophet Ibrahim a.s said:</p><p>"<strong><em>I will ask forgiveness for you from my Lord. Indeed, He is very good to me</em></strong>" <strong>(al-Qur'an, Maryam 19: 47).</strong></p></li><li><p>Then Prophet Ibrahim promised to separate himself from his father and his worship, and prayed to God that he would not feel any loss for his prayer. Prophet Ibrahim said: "<strong><em>And I will distance myself from you and from what your father calls upon besides Allah, and I will call upon my Lord, I hope that I will not be disappointed in calling upon my Lord</em></strong>" <strong>(al-Quran, Maryam 19: 48)</strong>. This separation also shows that Prophet Ibrahim was no longer able to invite his father to monotheism. Prophet Ibrahim was pleased with what his father had decided, however, this did not prevent him from continuing to do good to his father.</p></li><li><p><strong>Summary of the story :</strong></p></li></ul><p>The story of Prophet Ibrahim's da'wah towards his father Azar has various wisdoms and lessons, among them, the da'wah movement must be started towards the closest relatives, as he did. Da'wah towards his father continued to be carried out until his father disbelieved and died in a state of disbelief in Allah. This is because guidance belongs entirely to Allah and as a servant. In addition, the method used by Prophet Ibrahim AS to his father was through the method of <em>mujadalah husna</em> or through dialogue in a good way. Among them, using an easy to understand method, accompanied by rational reasons, being humble, showing love by forbidding his father to obey the devil, talking about his worries and fears for his father from being punished by Allah SWT, answering with the best answer, asking for forgiveness and the last method is to separate or migrate to avoid continuing to encounter points of difference and fights.</p><ol start="3"><li><p><strong>Conclusion :</strong></p></li></ol><ul><li><p>manners teach students to be respectful, responsible, and kind in their relationships with parents, creating a harmonious atmosphere based on Islamic values.</p></li></ul><p><br/></p><p>That’s all from me, thank you ! 💗</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Assalamualaikum everyone ! Today 14/2/2025 is the last day of our usrah meeting. So, Sr Faqihah, our facilitator asked us to tell about any story that gives a lesson to all. Although not everyone tells stories, but there is also a lesson that I got from the stories that my other friends have told. Then, our last session ended with a photo session as a memory for all of us. I would like to thank my facilitator for giving us knowledge and being our naqibah for usrah Sem 2. I really appreciate and take lessons from the knowledge that he has conveyed.</p><p><br></p><p>That’s all from me, thank you ! 💗</p>]]></description>
