🦋My name is Kaisah Darwisyah Binti Faizal, my matric number is 259125 from usrah group 59 and I am currently pursuing my Foundation in ENCOM. I was born on 2 December 2007, and I live in Penang. As a student, I am always eager to learn new things and improve myself in both academics and personal growth

👾Beyond the classroom, I am a subcommittee member for PIXEL in Amethyst & Head of Technical and Video Editor in CFS Connect Kuantan

💄I also have hobbies that reflect my passion for creativity and self expression. I enjoy listening to music, as it keeps me motivated and inspired. Additionally, I have a keen interest in fashion styling, where I experiment with different styles to build confidence and express my individuality

❤️‍🩹One of my inspirations in life comes from my favourite Surah Al-Insyirah

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا (٥)

“For verily, with hardship there is ease” (94:5)

This verse reminds me to stay patient, resilient, and positive in all challenges, as every difficulty will eventually bring relief and growth

💝Through my foundation journey, hobbies, and co curricular activities, I aim to grow into a confident, skilled, and well-rounded individual

🌈May this journey of learning bring me closer to success in this world and the hereafter, InsyaAllah

Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

1. BELIEF IN ALLAH

   
   

- The first and most important pillar.

- A Muslim must believe in the existence of Allah, His Oneness (Tawheed), His Names and Attributes, and that He alone deserves worship

- Any act of worship for other than Allah is shirk.

📍Example : Allah made 5 daily prayers fardh (obligatory) on every Muslim, skipping them deliberately is a major sin because it shows neglect of Allah’s right

✨In surah Al ikhlas (112:1-4)✨

قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌۢ

Say, ‘He is Allah, [who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent.

❣️This is the heart of Iman, and without it, the rest of the pillars lose meaning

2. BELIEF IN ANGELS

- To believe in the existence of angels created by Allah, who carry out His commands

- Muslims must believe that angels are real creations of Allah

- They are made from light (nur)

- They do not eat, drink, sleep and they never disobey Allah

- They have no free will, they only carry out Allah’s commands

📍Example : A Muslim believes that Angel Jibril brought down the Quran to Prophet Muhammad by Allah’s command

✨In Surah Fatir (35:1) ✨

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ جَاعِلِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ رُسُلًا أُولِي أَجْنِحَةٍ مَّثْنَى وَثُلَاثَ وَرُبَاعَ يَزِيدُ فِي الْخَلْقِ مَا يَشَاء إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

All praise be to Allah, the Fashioner of the heavens and earth, Who appointed angels as His message bearers, having two, three, four wings. He adds to His creation whatever He pleases. Verily Allah has power over everything

❣️It reminds us that Allah knows everything we do, since angels record our deeds

3. BELIEF IN DIVINE BOOKS

- To believe in all the revealed scriptures, including the Quran (final revelation), Torah, Injil, Zabur

- Muslims must believe that Allah revealed scriptures/books to His prophets and messengers as guidance for mankind

- These books contain commands, laws, wisdom, and knowledge from Allah

- The final and complete revelation is the Quran, which abrogates the previous scriptures

📍Example : When man pray, he recite verses from the Quran like Surah al-Fatihah because he believe it is Allah’s word

✨In Surah an nisa (4:136)✨

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ ءَامِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِۦ وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَـٰلًۢا بَعِيدًا

O you who have believed, believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Book that He sent down upon His Messenger and the Scripture which He sent down before. And whoever disbelieves in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day has certainly gone far astray

❣️This shows Allah’s mercy, He never left humans without guidance.

4. BELIEF IN PROPHETS

   
   

   - To believe Allah sent prophets to every nation to guide them

   - The messenger of Allah Swt were chosen and appointed among human beings, not from any other types of creation

   - They were neither divine in nature nor were they angels

   - Belief in Prophet Muhammad Saw as the final messenger means Islam is the completed religion

   
   

📍Example : Smiling, The Prophet SAW said that even a smile is charity

✨In surah Al Anbiya (21:25)✨

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ أَنَّهُۥ

لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعۡبُدُونِ

We never sent a messenger before you ˹O Prophet˺ without revealing to him: “There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Me, so worship Me ˹alone˺.”

❣️Following the Sunnah is therefore a practical way to live Islam every day, turning belief into action

5. BELIEF IN LAST DAY

- To believe in resurrection, judgment, Heaven and Hell after death

- Life does not end with death. Every person will be resurrected and held accountable for their deeds

-This worldly life is temporary, while the Hereafter is eternal

- It gives comfort during hardship that true justice will be established in the Hereafter

- It teaches that life is a test, not the final destination

📍Example : Muslim avoids lying, because they remember that on the Last Day, every word will be accounted for

✨In Surah Al Baqarah (2:281)✨

وَٱتَّقُواْ يَوۡمٗا تُرۡجَعُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّا كَسَبَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ

Be mindful of the Day when you will ˹all˺ be returned to Allah, then every soul will be paid in full for what it has done, and none will be wronged

❣️Belief in the Last Day means living every day with accountability, hope and fear of Allah, preparing for the eternal life to come

6. BELIEF IN DIVINE DECREE

- To believe everything that happens good or bad is by Allah’s knowledge, will, and wisdom

- Allah knows everything from the past, present, and future. Nothing escapes His knowledge

- Allah wrote everything that will happen until the Day of Judgment in al Lawḥ al-Maḥfūẓ

- Whatever Allah wills happens, whatever He does not will, will never happen

- Allah created everything including people’s actions but humans still have choice and responsibility

📍Example : A man gets a job he really wanted. He doesn’t say “It’s only because of me,” but instead says: “Alhamdulillah, this is from Allah’s Qadr, and He guided me to it”

✨In Surah Al Qamar (54:49)✨

إِنَّا كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَٰهُ بِقَدَرٖ

Indeed, all things We created with predestination

❣️Difficulties are tests, and Allah never burdens a soul beyond what it can bear

❓✅Why does Allah test our Iman? (FATIMAH)

-To strengthen our faith.

-To forgive our sins.

-To raise our rank with Allah.

❓✅What's the purpose of trials in our life? (HUSNA)

- Test of Faith and Sincerity

- For believers spiritual growth and purification

- Through patience in trials, believers gain higher ranks in Paradise

- As a reminder that human have weaknesses and should be dependent on Allah to humble us

- Building resilience and patience

- Reminder of the temporary nature of the world

❓✅Are test a sign of weakness or of allah's love? (SYAHIRAH)

-tests can be a way for Allah to raise someone’s rank, cleanse sins, and bring them closer to Him

«أشد الناس بلاءً الأنبياء، ثم الأمثل فالأمثل»

(رواه ابن ماجه)

-Facing hardship is not a sign that someone is weak or abandoned by Allah. Even the prophets who were the strongest in faith were tested the most.

-Trials remind us to turn back to Allah, to be patient, and to strengthen our faith. They also serve as purification for sins, so a believer comes out purer and stronger

❓✅How do tests strengthen our faith? (KAISAH)

- Tests increase patience (sabr)

Allah says: “Indeed, Allah is with the patient.” (Quran 2:153)

Hardships build patience, strengthen character and keep us firm in faith.

- Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity (Qur’an 2:286)

assures us that every test is within our ability even if it feels heavy

- Tests remind us of dependence on Allah

In trials, we turn to Him in dua, salah and dhikr strengthening our trust and reliance on Him.

- Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:155):

“We will certainly test you with a touch of fear and famine and loss of property, life, and crops. Give good news to those who patiently endure.”

✨️In Surah Taha (20:114)✨️

فَتَعَالَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ ۗ وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِالْقُرْآنِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يُقْضَىٰ إِلَيْكَ وَحْيُهُ ۖ وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا

So high [above all] is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth. And, [O Muhammad], do not hasten with [recitation of] the Qur'an before its revelation is completed to you, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."

💗A true seeker of knowledge constantly turns to Allah with dua, without His help, knowledge becomes memorization only but with His help, knowledge becomes light, wisdom, and guidance

عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوْسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِذْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ شَدِيْدُ بَيَاضِ الثِّيَابِ شَدِيْدُ سَوَادِ الشَّعْرِ, لاَ يُرَى عَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ السَّفَرِ وَلاَ يَعْرِفُهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ, حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم, فأَسْنَدَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ, وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ, وَ قَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَخْبِرْنِيْ عَنِ الإِسْلاَمِ, فَقَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم : اَلإِسْلاَمُ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لاَإِ لَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُوْلُ اللهِ, وَتُقِيْمُ الصَّلاَةَ, وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ, وَتَصُوْمَ رَمَضَانَ, وَتَحُجَّ الْبَيْتَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيْلاً. قَالَ : صَدَقْتُ. فَعَجِبْنَا لَهُ يَسْئَلُهُ وَيُصَدِّقُهُ. قَالَ : فَأَخْبِرْنِيْ عَنِ الإِيْمَانِ, قَالَ : أَنْ بِاللهِ, وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ, وَكُتُبِهِ, وَرُسُلِهِ, وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ, وَ تُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدْرِ خَيْرِهِ وَ شَرِّهِ. قَالَ : صَدَقْتَ. قَالَ : فَأَخْبِرْنِيْ عَنِ الإِحْسَانِ, قَالَ : أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ. قَالَ : فَأَخْبِرْنِيْ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ قَالَ : مَا الْمَسْؤُوْلُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ. قَالَ : فَأَخْبِرْنِيْ عَنْ أَمَارَاتِهَا, قَالَ : أَنْ تَلِدَ الأَمَةُ رَبَّتَهَا, وَأَنْ تَرَى الْحُفَاةَ الْعُرَاةَ الْعَالَةَ رِعَاءَ الشَّاءِ يَتَطَاوَلُوْنَ فِيْ الْبُنْيَانِ, ثم اَنْطَلَقَ, فَلَبِثْتُ مَلِيًّا, ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا عُمَرُ, أَتَدْرِيْ مَنِ السَّائِل؟ قُلْتُ : اللهُ وَ رَسُوْلُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ : فَإِنَّهُ جِبْرِيْلُ أَتَاكُمْ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ دِيْنَكُمْ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ

Umar ibn al-Khattab reported : We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, one day, a man appeared with very white clothes and very black hair. There were no signs of travel on him and we did not recognize him. He sat in front of the Prophet, rested his knees by his knees, and placed his hands on his thighs. The man said, “O Muhammad, tell me about Islam.” The Prophet said, “Islam is to testify there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, to give charity, to fast the month of Ramadan, and to perform pilgrimage to the House if a way is possible.” The man said, “You have spoken truthfully.” We were surprised that he asked him and said he was truthful. He said, “Tell me about faith.” The Prophet said, “Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in providence, its good and its harm.” The man said, “You have spoken truthfully. Tell me about excellence.” The Prophet said, “Excellence is to worship Allah as if you see Him, for if you do not see Him, He surely sees you.” The man said, “Tell me about the final hour.” The Prophet said, “The one asked does not know more than the one asking.” The man said, “Tell me about its signs.” The Prophet said, “The slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and you will see barefoot, naked, and dependent shepherds compete in the construction of tall buildings.” Then, the man returned and I remained. The Prophet said to me, “O Umar, do you know who he was?” I said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” The Prophet said, “Verily, he was Gabriel who came to teach you your religion.”

🌷Definition of Ihsan in Hadith Jibril

Hadith Jibril in relation to the definition of Ihsan

فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْإِحْسَانِ قَالَ: أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ

Then he (the man) said, "Inform me about Ihsan." He (the Messenger of Allah) answered, "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."

The Prophet SAW explained that Ihsan is to worship Allah in this world in a manner appropriate for His presence and His direct observation of His servant. It is as though the servant sees Allah with his heart, looking upon Him while he worships Him

In the second part of the Hadith, the Prophet SAW further explained: “If you do not see Him, then He sees you.” This shows that even if a believer cannot reach the high level of worshiping Allah as though seeing Him, they must still worship with the certainty that Allah is ever seeing and always aware of their actions. Achieving this level is not easy, but the Prophet informed people that they could strive for it through knowledge and awareness of Allah’s constant observation. A Muslim who has this feeling of being observed (muraqabah) will beautify his actions and strive to attain Allah’s love and pleasure

❣️Eventually, a Muslim who aims to achieve perfection, beautification, and excellence in his submission to Allah SWT due to this deep awareness of God’s presence is called a Muhsin. Ihsan in submission requires a believer to worship Allah wholeheartedly, with total sincerity and devotion. It also requires complete commitment to following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad SAW

📖Definition Of Ihsan In the Quran

✨In Surah Ah nahl (16:90)✨

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأۡمُرُ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ وَٱلۡإِحۡسَٰنِ وَإِيتَآيِٕ ذِي ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ وَيَنۡهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ وَٱلۡمُنكَرِ وَٱلۡبَغۡيِۚ يَعِظُكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ

Indeed, Allah commands justice, grace, as well as generosity to close relatives. He forbids indecency, wickedness, and aggression. He instructs you so perhaps you will be mindful.

Performing obligatory deeds is al-Adl (justice), while going beyond with voluntary deeds is al-Ihsan. Ihsan means doing deeds in the best way, with excellence and sincerity, beyond the minimum requirement.

Al-Qurtubi stated that al-Adl is mandatory, while al-Ihsan is above and beyond. Al-Ghazzālī explained that justice is necessary, but Ihsan is a virtue. Justice is giving and taking fairly, while Ihsan is giving more to others and taking less for oneself.

❣️Therefore, Allah loves the Muhsinun, those who apply Ihsan

🌷Definition of Eschatology In Hadith Jibril

َالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ السَّاعَةِ. قَالَ: مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ. قَالَ: فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ أَمَارَتِهَا. قَالَ: أَنْ تَلِدَ الْأَمَةُ رَبَّتَهَا، وَأَنْ تَرَى الْحُفَاةَ الْعُرَاةَ الْعَالَةَ رِعَاءَ الشَّاءِ يَتَطَاوَلُونَ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ.

He said, “Inform me about the Hour.” He (the Messenger of Allah) said, “About that, the one questioned knows no more than the questioner.” So he said, “Well, inform me about the signs thereof.” He said, “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.”

In this hadith, Angel Jibril AS came to teach the companions the most important parts of Islam. He asked about Islam, Iman, and Ihsan, which are the foundations of our religion. He also asked about the Day of Judgment and its signs. This shows that knowing about the Last Day is very important in Islam. The hadith reminds us that the signs of the Hour are real, and Muslims should always be aware of them

📖Definition of Eschatology In the Quran

✨In Surah al-Baqarah (2:107)✨

أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ

“Do you not know that to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and [that] you have not besides Allāh any protector or any helper?”

This Quran verse teaches us that believing in the reality of the “last things” (like the Day of Judgment, Heaven, and Hell) is an important part of Islamic faith. It reminds us to recognise Allah’s oneness (Tawḥeed) and His complete power over everything. Other verses in the Qur’an also give the basis for key Islamic beliefs, such as the soul living on after death, the resurrection of the body, the final judgement, and the real existence of Paradise and Hell.

The Quran describes these events of the end times in two main ways. First, as a warning that the world and life will eventually come to an end. Second, as a message of hope, because after Doomsday there will be a new life, with eternal joy for the believers

Definition Of Adab

- To educate and discipline oneself.

- Good manners (good manners & akhlak)

- Actions that follow Islamic teachings

- Reflects a person’s true character

- Seen through both words and action

- Without adab, knowledge and worship are incomplete

Types of Adab

1. Adab Batin

- Related to the heart, thoughts, and intention

📍Examples:

- ikhlas(sincerity) in worship.

- Tawadhu’ (humility, not arrogant)

- Sabar (patience in difficulties)

- Syukur (thankful for Allah’s blessings)

- Husnuzon (thinking positively of others)

2. Akhlak / Adab Zahir

- Shown in physical actions, behavior, and speech

📍Examples:

- Greeting with salam

- Speaking politely, not shouting or insulting

- Helping others in need

- Respecting parents, teachers, and elders

- Taking care of the environment (not littering, not destroying)

💕Adab with Parents through the Story of Nabi Ibrahim (Surah Maryam 41–45)

وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صِدِّيقًۭا نَّبِيًّا ٤١ إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لَا يَسْمَعُ وَلَا يُبْصِرُ وَلَا يُغْنِى عَنكَ شَيْـًۭٔا ٤٢ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّى قَدْ جَآءَنِى مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ مَا لَمْ يَأْتِكَ فَٱتَّبِعْنِىٓ أَهْدِكَ صِرَٰطًۭا سَوِيًّۭا ٤٣ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ لَا تَعْبُدِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَصِيًّۭا ٤٤ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذَابٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ فَتَكُونَ لِلشَّيْطَـٰنِ وَلِيًّۭا ٤٥

And mention in the Book ˹O Prophet, the story of˺ Abraham. He was surely a man of truth and a prophet (41) ˹Remember˺ when he said to his father, “O dear father! Why do you worship what can neither hear nor see, nor benefit you at all?(42)O  dear father! I have certainly received some knowledge which you have not received, so follow me and I will guide you to the Straight Path(43)O  dear father! Do not worship Satan. Surely Satan is ever rebellious against the Most Compassionate(44)O  dear father! I truly fear that you will be touched by a torment from the Most Compassionate, and become Satan’s companion ˹in Hell˺”(45)

❣️Adab is holistic because it covers both the inner and outer aspects of a person’s life. It starts from the inside (batin) which means the state of the heart and mind. If the heart is pure, filled with sincerity, patience, humility, and gratitude, then the person’s actions will also be good. This inner adab shapes the intention behind every deed

❣️When the inner qualities are strong, they naturally appear on the outside as akhlak. This can be seen in how a person speaks politely, treats others with respect, helps those in need, and follows the teachings of Islam in daily life. In other words, akhlak is the visible result of what is hidden inside the heart

❣️A person with true adab therefore has both a pure heart and good actions. The two cannot be separated, because good behavior without sincerity is empty, while sincerity without good actions is incomplete. Together, they create a balanced character that reflects the values of Islam in every aspect of life

1. Shahadah (Testimony Of Faith)☝🏻

📌Definition : It is the entry point into Islam, saying it sincerely with belief makes one Muslim

Example :

أَشْهَدُ أَلَّا إِلَه إِلَّا اللَّه، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّه
“I bear witness that there is no god except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”

- It is the key to entering Islam
- It distinguishes a Muslim from a non Muslim
- Everything in Islam is built upon this foundation of faith


2. Salah (Prayer)🕌

📌Definition : Muslims pray 5 times daily

Example :
Fajr (before sunrise)
Dhuhr (midday)
Asr (afternoon)
Maghrib (after sunset)
Isha (night)

- It prevents evil and wrongdoing.
- It builds a constant connection with Allah
- It reminds Muslims of the purpose of life

Prophet SAW said: “The first thing a person will be asked about on the Day of Judgment is their prayer”


3. Zakat (Almsgiving)💰

📌Definition : Every Muslim who is financially able must give 2.5% of their saved wealth

- Helps the poor, orphans, and needy
- Reduces greed and selfishness


4. Sawn (Fasting In Ramadan)🌙

📌Definition : Muslims fast from dawn (Fajr) until sunset (Maghrib)

- Fasting includes no food, drink, smoking or marital relations
- Builds patience, self-control, and piety
- Teaches empathy for the poor and hungry
- Ramadan is also the month of Qur’an revelation


5. Hajj (Pilgrimage to Makkah)🕋

📌Definition : Obligatory once in a lifetime for those who can afford and are healthy enough to perform in the month of Dhul-Hijjah

Example :
Tawaf (circling the Kaaba)
Sa’i (walking between Safa and Marwah)
Standing at Arafah (the peak of Hajj)
Stoning the Jamarat

- Shows the unity of Muslims (all wearing simple ihram clothes)
- Symbolizes following the steps of Prophet Ibrahim AS
- A complete Hajj wipes away past sins

During the usrah session, I felt truly grateful for the opportunity to learn and deepen my understanding of Islam together with my friends. The discussions helped strengthen my connection with Allah SWT and increased my awareness of the importance of sisterhood and reminding one another towards goodness. I also had the chance to share the knowledge and lessons I gained from usrah 59 with my friends from other universities and even my high school friends

My goal in the future is to become someone who can inspire others in a positive and meaningful way. I want to develop strong communication skills that allow me to connect with people from different backgrounds and share good values. I also hope to understand myself better so I can grow into a more confident, kind, and balanced person who contributes positively to others and society.

For improvement during the usrah session, inviting guest speakers to make the session more interesting and engaging. By having different speakers, members can gain new perspectives and insights on various Islamic topics. It can also make the usrah more lively, interactive, and inspiring, as each speaker brings unique experiences and knowledge to share

"O believers! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was for those before you so perhaps you will become mindful of Allah."

Target Audience👍

- The call to "O believers" implies that correct faith is a prerequisite for the fast to be val

Historical Context🌍

- Fasting was also required for previous nations (such as Jews and Christians), which serves to ease the modern burden and encourage Muslims to excel

Taqwa (Mindfulness)🧠

- The goal is to gain Taqwa, which means taking precaution or being cautious of the undesirable. It is likened to walking carefully on a path filled with thorns

Moral Integrity🫂

- Physical hunger is meaningless without moral restraint; Allah does not need a person to abstain from food if they do not also avoid lies and false conduct

The Three Levels of Fasting

According to Al-Ghazali📊

Minimum🌻

- Refraining from food, drink and sexual intercourse

Intermediary✅

- Refraining the heart from worldly distractions that lead away from Allah

How does it related❓

Sabr (Patience)🌥

Rahmah (Mercy and empathy)❤️‍🩹

- Hunger humbles the believer to feel empathy for the poor and encourages the act of feeding others

(Surah An-Nahl 16:97)

“I was sent to perfect good character.”
(Reported by Ahmad)

4. Promotes a Harmonious Society (RISYA)

Good deeds such as helping others, giving charity, and showing kindness strengthen social bonds and create a caring and cooperative community
