I also took some time to think about my niyyah for joining this program. I reminded myself that everything I do should be for the sake of Allah, including my effort to learn and grow here. It made me realize how valuable it is to have companions who encourage you to become better. Even small conversations and shared experiences can be sources of personal growth.

• Shahada (Declaration of Faith): This pillar reaffirmed the importance of consciously renewing my belief in Allah and the Prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH). It’s not just words; it’s a commitment to live by those words every day.

• Salah (Prayer): Salah felt like a sanctuary—a reminder that five times a day, I can pause and reset my mind, heart, and intentions. It’s not just an obligation but an opportunity to step away from the chaos and stand in the presence of my Creator.

• Zakat (Charity): I reflected on the fact that wealth is a trust from Allah. Giving a portion of it through Zakat purifies both my soul and my earnings, helping me detach from materialism and care for others.

• Sawm (Fasting): Fasting goes beyond abstaining from food—it’s about disciplining the soul, building empathy for the less fortunate, and strengthening self-control.

• Hajj (Pilgrimage): Even though I haven’t performed Hajj yet, learning about it reminded me of the unity of the ummah and the importance of humility before Allah. It’s a reminder that, ultimately, we are all travelers in this world.

• Belief in Allah: Understanding Allah’s attributes made me more mindful of His mercy and wisdom. It reminded me that trusting His plan—especially in difficult moments—requires not only patience but also love and hope.

• Belief in Angels: I found it humbling to reflect on the role of angels who record our deeds and fulfill Allah’s commands. Knowing this made me more aware of my actions, even when no one is watching.

• Belief in Scriptures: I realized that the Quran is not just a book to be read but a guide to be lived. It reminded me of the importance of engaging with it meaningfully—through reflection, practice, and prayer.

• Belief in Prophets: Learning about the lives of the prophets (peace be upon them) inspired me to remain patient and steadfast. Their stories showed me that every challenge is a chance to grow spiritually.

• Belief in the Day of Judgment: This belief heightened my sense of responsibility, reminding me that every action—no matter how small—has weight. It encouraged me to live purposefully, with the awareness that I will stand before Allah one day.

• Belief in Divine Decree (Qada’ and Qadar): Reflecting on Qada’ and Qadar gave me peace of mind, knowing that everything happens with Allah’s wisdom. It reminded me to accept both ease and hardship with gratitude and patience.

Being a muhsin means:

• Worshipping Allah as though I see Him—praying and performing acts of worship with sincerity, knowing that even if I don’t see Him, He sees me.

• Doing good in private and public, without seeking praise or reward from others.

• Forgiving and being just, even when it’s difficult, because that is what pleases Allah the most.

This week challenged me to adopt a mindset of intentional goodness, where every interaction becomes an opportunity to reflect the beauty of Islam.

• Kindness and Patience: This week reminded me to be gentle and patient with others, even when I feel wronged or misunderstood.

• Honesty and Humility: I reflected on the importance of speaking the truth while maintaining humility, knowing that arrogance only distances us from Allah.

• Respect for Differences: Treating everyone with dignity, regardless of their background or beliefs, is not just a courtesy but an essential part of Islam.

This week made me realize that even small gestures—like smiling, listening attentively, or offering a kind word—can have a big impact. Practicing good adab is a way to embody the teachings of Islam and leave a positive mark on those I encounter.
