Week 1 : The Usrah sessions began with Ta‘āruf (introductions and ice-breaking activities) to create a sense of community among participants. The focus was on the significance of setting sincere intentions (niyyah) in all actions, performing acts of worship (ʿamal) correctly, and internalizing the positive virtues of iḥsān. These principles were discussed in relation to how they help Muslims lead meaningful lives, fostering sincerity, mindfulness, and excellence in character.

Week 2 : This week delved into the wisdom (ḥikmah) derived from essential acts of worship, such as ṣalāh (prayer), ṣawm (fasting), zakāh (charity), and ḥajj (pilgrimage). Using selected Qur’anic verses, participants explored the spiritual and practical benefits of these obligations, reflecting on their ability to nurture intellectual growth, discipline, and devotion.

Emphasis was placed on the spiritual connection during ṣalāh and practical ways to enhance mindfulness and focus before, during, and after prayer.

Participants discussed how fasting fosters self-control, gratitude, and compassion for others, particularly those in need.

Participants reflected on how acts of charity purify wealth and souls, foster unity among Muslims, and help address societal inequalities. Discussions also included practical ways to promote generosity and create sustainable initiatives to support those in need.

Week 7 : The final week explored the virtues associated with ḥajj (pilgrimage) and ʿumrah, focusing on taḍḥiyyah (sacrifice) and taqwā (God-consciousness). Participants reflected on the spiritual significance of pilgrimage as a journey of self-purification and devotion. The session also included practical discussions on planning for ḥajj, understanding its rituals (iḥrām, ṭawāf, saʿī, wuqūf, and stoning), and the lifelong lessons of submission, patience, and unity derived from the experience. A role-play activity was conducted to simulate the key aspects of ḥajj.
