As for my achievements, I managed to get an A in Sejarah (History) during my SPM exams. I honestly thought I had failed, but I ended up with great results! Alhamdulillah.

The lesson I gained during the first week of usrah was about manners (adab). Nowadays, many people no longer prioritize adab and instead act rudely. People often say, "Didn't their family teach them?" However, this isn't about others, but rather about ourselves and the path we choose to take. We know what is right and wrong.

As Muslims, we must learn from the Quran and Hadith about how to uphold adab. Adab is essential in shaping a person's character. Without adab, our lives hold no value. Remember, adab reflects a good Muslim.

As a student, adab is crucial when seeking knowledge because it is about attaining blessings. Without adab, our knowledge becomes meaningless as it lacks blessings. So, learn and uphold adab in your pursuit of knowledge and in life.

its okay! iʼd rather be with them anyway (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

Hey Alee, look how far you've come! You've passed your SPM and Sem 1, and now you're halfway through Sem 2—you’re going to ace that too. You're doing amazing, Aliya. Thank you for holding on and surviving each year. I remember when it felt like you had no one but yourself, yet here you are. At the end of the day, it's always been you and yourself, and that’s more than enough.

Thank you for enduring everything and coming out stronger. You’ve faced so much, and you deserve to rest and enjoy the happiness life has to offer. Don’t be too hard on yourself, and never ever underestimate your worth again. Trust in qada’ and qadar. Trust in Allah—He always knows what’s best for you.

And please, don’t abandon yourself, okay? Take care of your personality and learn to embrace silence when needed. Remember, Aliya, it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to fail, as long as you keep striving. Love yourself, Alee! Leave everything from 2024 in the past and step into 2025 with confidence.

Take care of yourself, Alee.

With love,

You.

the Syarah Hadith Jibril on Islam, Iman, and Ihsan is that this hadith explains three fundamental aspects of Islam:

1. Islam – Encompasses outward practices such as the shahadah (declaration of faith), prayer, zakat (charity), fasting, and pilgrimage (Hajj).


2. Iman – Involves belief in the six pillars of faith: belief in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Day of Judgment, and divine predestination (qada' and qadar).


3. Ihsan – Emphasizes the perfection of worship by being conscious of Allah’s presence, worshipping as if one sees Him, or at least knowing that He always watches over us.



Additionally, this hadith touches on the signs of the Day of Judgment, highlighting the importance of being prepared for the end times. The hadith was conveyed by Angel Jibril in the form of a question-and-answer session to educate the companions and the Muslim ummah about the essence of their religion.

This hadith teaches Muslims to understand and practice Islam holistically, not only through actions but also through faith and excellence (ihsan) in their daily lives.

Iman (faith) consists of six fundamental pillars that form the foundation of a Muslim’s belief. The first three pillars are the core aspects of Islamic theology, shaping a believer’s understanding of existence and the unseen.

The First Three Pillars of Iman

Belief in Allah – The belief that Allah is the only God, the Creator, and Sustainer of everything. He has no partners, and His attributes include being All-Knowing, All-Powerful, and Most Merciful. This belief shapes a Muslim’s devotion and trust in Him.

Belief in Angels – Angels are Allah’s creations made from light, carrying out His commands. They do not have free will and serve various roles, such as Jibril delivering revelations, Mikail controlling rain, and Israfil blowing the trumpet on Judgment Day.

Belief in Divine Scriptures – Allah sent holy books as guidance, including the Taurat (Torah) to Musa, Zabur (Psalms) to Dawud, Injil (Gospel) to Isa, and the Quran to Prophet Muhammad. The Quran is the final and preserved revelation for all humanity.

We've presented this last week, and in conclusion, Surah Al-Baqarah 284-286 teaches key lessons about faith, unity, accountability, and seeking Allah’s mercy. These verses emphasize belief in Allah, His angels, books, and messengers, highlighting the importance of obedience and trust in divine wisdom. They also reassure that Allah does not burden anyone beyond their capacity, encourage Muslims to seek forgiveness and mercy, and remind us of the rewards and consequences of our actions. Ultimately, these verses strengthen our connection with Allah and reinforce the principles of submission and hope in His justice.

And treat your parents with excellence,

talks about the importance of respecting and caring for our parents in Islam. It highlights that treating them with kindness, patience, and love isn’t just a good thing to do—it’s a religious duty.
The speaker explains how the Quran and Hadith emphasize the high status of parents and the rewards of honoring them. It’s not just about providing for them but also about speaking to them gently, being patient, and making sure they feel loved and appreciated, especially as they grow older.
The video also reminds us that neglecting or mistreating our parents is a serious sin. Even if we have disagreements, we should always be respectful and avoid hurting them with our words or actions. At the end of the day, our time with them is limited, so we should cherish every moment and do our best to make them happy.
In short, the message is clear—parents are a blessing, and treating them well is one of the most meaningful acts of worship in Islam.

In Islam, appreciation for nature and the environment is deeply rooted in the teachings of the Quran and the Sunnah (traditions of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him). Islam emphasizes that nature is a sign of Allah’s creation and a trust (Amanah) given to humanity. Muslims are encouraged to respect, protect, and live in harmony with the environment. Here are some key aspects of how Islam promotes appreciation for nature and environmental stewardship:

1. Nature as a Sign of Allah’s Greatness (Ayat)

The Quran repeatedly invites believers to reflect on the natural world as a manifestation of Allah’s power and creativity. Trees, rivers, mountains, animals, and the heavens are described as signs (ayat) for those who contemplate.

“And it is He who spread the earth and placed therein firmly set mountains and rivers; and from all of the fruits He made therein two mates; He causes the night to cover the day. Indeed, in that are signs for a people who give thought.” (Quran 13:3)

2. Stewardship and Trust (Khilafah)

Humans are considered stewards (khalifah) of the Earth, responsible for maintaining balance and avoiding corruption or destruction.

“It is He who has made you successors (stewards) upon the earth…” (Quran 6:165)

This concept implies that protecting the environment is not optional but a moral and religious duty.

3. Prohibition of Waste (Israf)

Islam condemns wastefulness and encourages moderation in consumption. Even in times of abundance, believers are taught to avoid excess.

“And do not waste, for Allah does not love the wasteful.” (Quran 7:31)

This principle applies to water usage, food consumption, and resource management.

4. Planting Trees and Caring for Animals

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of planting trees and taking care of animals. He said:

"If a Muslim plants a tree or sows seeds, and then a bird, or a person, or an animal eats from it, it is regarded as a charitable gift (sadaqah) for him." (Sahih al-Bukhari)

This shows that even small acts of environmental care are rewarded by Allah.

5. Protection of Water Resources

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught the importance of conserving water, even when performing ablution (wudu), saying:

"Do not waste water, even if you are at a running stream." (Sunan Ibn Majah)

This highlights the value of natural resources and the need to avoid their misuse.

6. Maintaining Environmental Balance

Islam encourages preserving the balance (mizan) in nature. The Quran mentions that everything in creation has been made in perfect balance, and humans should not disrupt it.

“And the heaven He raised and imposed the balance. That you do not transgress within the balance.” (Quran 55:7-8)

7. Avoiding Corruption (Fasad) on Earth

The Quran warns against causing corruption and destruction on the Earth, which includes pollution, deforestation, and harm to ecosystems.

“Do not cause corruption on the earth after it has been set in order…” (Quran 7:56)

Belief in the Messengers of Allah

Allah sent prophets and messengers to guide humanity.

They delivered divine messages and called people to worship only Allah.

Among them, Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is the final messenger.

Belief in the Day of Judgment

A day when all humans will be resurrected and held accountable for their deeds.

The righteous will be rewarded with Jannah (Paradise), while wrongdoers face Jahannam (Hellfire).

This belief encourages responsibility, righteousness, and preparation for the Hereafter.

Belief in Qadar (Divine Decree)

Everything happens by Allah’s will and wisdom.

Qadar includes both good and bad, and believers trust that Allah’s plan is always just.

This belief instills patience, contentment, and reliance on Allah in all circumstances.

And just like that, our Usrah journey comes to an end—filled with smiles, laughter, and so much positivity.

To our amazing faci, Bihah,

Thank you for being such a wonderful facilitator and a role model I truly admire. I love everything about you—your calmness, your wisdom, and the way you carry yourself. Thank you for teaching us, reminding us about Islam, and sharing your knowledge with us these past seven weeks. I’ve learned so much from you, and I’m beyond grateful.

May Allah always bless you with success fii dunya wal akhirah. Take care of yourself, and don’t forget to smile because you’re truly amazing! I hope you always get 4.00 in your exams and achieve everything you dream of. Keep shining, Bihah!

And to my friends,

I love you guys so much! Thank you for making this journey even more meaningful. Let’s keep growing together, in faith and in life.

One of the core values developed is al-ṭāʿah, or submission and loyalty to Allah. In salah, we follow His commands wholeheartedly, showing our obedience in both body and spirit. This submission builds loyalty to our faith and reminds us that our lives revolve around His guidance.

Salah is also a form of jihād not the physical battle, but the inner struggle to stay focused, sincere, and consistent in our worship. It’s not always easy to maintain concentration or to wake up for Fajr, but doing so strengthens our spiritual discipline.

Another important virtue is muḥāsabah, or self-reflection. In the quiet moments of prayer, especially during sujūd and after taslim, we are given space to reflect on our actions, seek forgiveness, and renew our intentions.

Salah also instils ʿiffah, which is modesty and self-restraint. Regular prayer reminds us to stay away from sinful behaviour. As the Qur’an says, salah prevents indecency and wrongdoing it keeps our heart in check.

Lastly, tawaḍḍuʿ humility is at the heart of salah. The act of bowing and prostrating reminds us of our position as servants of Allah. It teaches us not to be arrogant, and to always rely on Him.

In essence, salah with khushūʿ is not just an act of worship it is a process of becoming a better, more grounded person.

One of the main virtues developed through fasting is ṣabr, or patience. By holding back from basic needs like eating and drinking, we learn to control our desires and endure hardships with calmness. This patience extends beyond fasting hours, helping us face life’s challenges with greater strength and resilience.

Fasting also teaches us takrīm respect and deference. We become more mindful of the blessings we often take for granted, and more respectful towards those who are less fortunate. This respect deepens our empathy and encourages generosity towards others.

Finally, fasting cultivates raḥmah, or friendliness and compassion. Experiencing hunger and thirst firsthand softens our hearts, motivating us to be kinder, more caring, and more understanding towards others in our community.

In short, fasting is a means to develop patience, respect, and compassion, turning us into better individuals who live with empathy and faith.

my part :

Sawm is not just about avoiding food and drink, but also about refraining from sinful behavior. The purpose of fasting is to attain taqwa (God-consciousness). During Ramadan, Muslims are reminded to control their tongue, actions, and thoughts—avoiding lying, gossip, anger, and bad language.

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

"Whoever does not give up false speech and acting upon it, Allah has no need of him giving up his food and drink." (Bukhari)

This shows that true fasting involves spiritual discipline, helping a Muslim purify their soul, improve their behavior, and grow closer to Allah.

my part :

In Islam, good companionship plays a vital role in shaping one’s faith and character. A righteous friend encourages you to stay on the straight path, supports you in doing good, and reminds you of Allah. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, “A person is on the religion of his companion...” (Tirmidhi), showing how much influence a friend can have.

Mutual support among believers strengthens iman (faith), promotes positive character traits like patience, humility, and honesty, and helps individuals avoid bad habits. Islam encourages Muslims to uplift each other through advice, encouragement, and sincere care, building a strong and moral society.

One key virtue developed through zakāh and ṣadaqah is tawakkul, or reliance on Allah. When we give from what we have, we trust that Allah will provide for us in return. This reliance frees us from fear of loss and deepens our faith in His mercy and wisdom.

Another important virtue is ukhuwwah, or brotherhood. Giving zakāh and ṣadaqah connects us with others, especially those in need. It builds a sense of unity and compassion within the Muslim community, reminding us that we are all responsible for one another.

Through these acts, we learn to trust Allah more and to care deeply for our brothers and sisters, strengthening both our spirituality and social bonds

One of the central virtues learned from Ḥajj and ʿUmrah is al-taḍḥiyyah, or sacrifice. Pilgrims leave behind their comfort, wealth, and daily routines to perform acts that require patience, endurance, and giving up personal ease. This willingness to sacrifice teaches us dedication and reminds us of the importance of putting Allah’s commands above our own desires.

Another important virtue is taqwā, or God-consciousness. The pilgrimage is a constant reminder of Allah’s presence, encouraging us to be mindful of our actions and intentions. Experiencing the unity of millions in worship strengthens our awareness of His greatness and our need to live according to His guidance.

Together, these virtues make Ḥajj and ʿUmrah transformative experiences, helping us grow in faith, humility, and devotion.

We can also work on strengthening our bond as a group. Usrah is more than just a discussion session, it's a support system. Showing care, listening to one another, and helping each other grow in faith can make the sessions more meaningful.

Lastly, let’s apply what we learn in our daily lives. When we truly practise values like patience, sincerity, humility, and avoiding sin, it shows that our usrah is making a real impact.

Together, with sincere hearts and small steps, we can keep improving for the sake of Allah and our own growth.

Alhamdulillah, I would like to sincerely thank our usrah facilitator for all the time, effort, and dedication throughout this semester. Your guidance, patience, and consistent reminders have truly made each session meaningful and inspiring.

You didn’t just share knowledge, but also created a space that felt safe, welcoming, and encouraging — helping us grow not just in understanding, but also in practice. May Allah reward you abundantly for every word spoken and every heart touched through your efforts.

Jazakillahu khayran, and may Allah continue to bless you with strength, sincerity, and barakah in everything you do.

One of the biggest takeaways is that worship isn’t just about rituals — it’s about how those actions help us grow spiritually, improve our behaviour, and treat others better. From learning about patience during fasting to humility in prayer, every session gave us something to reflect on and practise.

This usrah also reminded me that improvement takes time. Even small changes, like renewing our intentions or being more mindful during salah, are valuable steps forward. And being in a group that reminds each other of Allah has made the experience even more special.

In the end, I’m grateful for the chance to learn, reflect, and grow — not just individually, but together as a group on the same path toward becoming better Muslims.
