         <description><![CDATA[<p> From my point of view, i was excited and surprised at first because we have usrah on cfs iium. i didn't get to experience usrah in my previous school so i was kind of confused what does Usrah actually means?</p><p><br/></p><p>Usrah ;-</p><p>Usrah is a group of 5-6 people or more that meet once a week on average and try to grow together. That means different things to different people and that dynamic changes group to group but overall, it’s people that are committed to the religion of Islam and want to grow and develop themselves as members of that community. I am happy to get to know new people and get closer every week . Not to mention , My caring facilitator who always guide me .</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Islam ;-</p><p><br/></p><p>5 pillars of Islam,</p><ul><li><p><strong>Shahada (Declaration of Faith)</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Second Pillar: Salah (Prayer)</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Sawm (Fasting)</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Zakat (Almsgiving)</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Fifth Pillar: Hajj (Pilgrimage)</strong></p></li></ul><p><br/></p><p>As we already know, these are one of the most important things as a muslim. Starting from the shahada, the assertion of faith. The Shahada, or profession of faith is said five times a day during prayer. It is the first thing said to a newborn, and the last thing to a person on their death-bed, showing how the Muslim prayer and the pillars are instrumental from the day a person is born until the day they die. Next, Salah (Prayer) Before a prayer is observed, ablutions are performed including washing one's hands, face and feet.<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Pillars_of_Islam#cite_note-:1-16"><sup>[16]</sup></a> A caller (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muezzin">Muezzin</a> in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic">Arabic</a>) chants aloud from a raised place in the mosque. Verses from the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quran">Quran</a> are recited either loudly or silently. These prayers are a very specific type of prayer and a very physical type of prayer called <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sujud">prostrations</a>. These prayers are done five times a day, at set strict times, with the individual facing <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecca">Mecca</a>. The prayers are performed at dawn, noon, afternoon, evening, and night: the names are according to the prayer times: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fajr"><em>Fajr</em></a> (dawn), <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhuhr"><em>Dhuhr</em></a> (noon), <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asr"><em>ʿAṣr</em></a>(afternoon), <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maghrib_prayer"><em>Maghrib</em></a> (evening), and <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isha%27"><em>ʿIshāʾ</em></a> (night). Also Br kimi emphasized that Salah is the first thing that will be asked on the day of Judgement. After that, Fasting takes place during the daylight hours in Ramadan, which is the holy month in the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_calendar">Islamic calendar</a>. Using a lunar calendar means the month of Ramadan shifts 11 days earlier each year. Sawm is directly mentioned in the Quran: "eat and drink until the whiteness of the day becomes distinct from the blackness of the night at dawn, then complete the fast till night…". The fast occurs from dawn to sunset each day, during which time believers are expected to prohibit themselves from any food, drink, sexual intercourse, or smoking. The reason for fasting during Ramadan is to remind Muslims that all individuals are similarly needy upon the assistance of God and that there are less lucky individuals who need their assistance. Next, Zakat means <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritual_purification">purification</a> which indicates that a payment makes the rest of one's wealth legally and religiously pure.<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Pillars_of_Islam#cite_note-:1-16"><sup>[16]</sup></a> By following this pillar, Muslims have to deduct certain amount of their wealth to support the Islamic community, and it usually about 2.5% of an individual's wealth. This practice is not found in the Quran but rather in the hadith. The tax is used to take good care of the holy places and mosques in the individual's specific Muslim community or to give assistance to those in need or who are impoverished. Lastly, The final Pillar of Islam is the Hajj, or pilgrimage. During one's life, a Muslim is required to make the pilgrimage to Mecca during the 12th month of the lunar calendar. This ritual consists of making journey to Mecca wearing only 2 white sheets so all of the pilgrims are identical and there is no class distinction among them. The main rituals of the Hajj include walking seven times around the Kaaba termed <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tawaf"><em>Tawaf</em></a>, touching the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Stone">Black Stone</a> termed Istilam, traveling seven times between <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Safa_and_Al-Marwah">Mount Safa and Mount Marwah</a> termed <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sa%27yee"><em>Sa'yee</em></a>, and symbolically <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoning_of_the_Devil">stoning the Devil</a> in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mina,_Saudi_Arabia">Mina</a> termed Ramee.<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Pillars_of_Islam#cite_note-Britannica_India-31"><sup>[31]</sup></a> When at Mecca, the pilgrims go to the Ka’aba in the mosque and walk around it in a circle.</p><p><br/></p><p>Iman ;-</p><p><br/></p><p>5 pillars of iman </p><ul><li><p>- Believe in Allah -</p><p>Belief in Allah is the foundation for which a Muslim’s faith is built upon. It is to believe that Allah is the only Creator, Sustainer, King, and Planner of everything in existence.</p></li><li><p>- Believe in Angels -</p><p>Angels are from the world of the unseen. &nbsp;They were created to obey the commands of Allah and they never transgress His laws or commands. It is upon the Muslim to believe that the angels exist, that they are the creation of Allah, and that some of them have been given names. Some of these names are Jibreel (Gabriel), Mikail, Israfeel, and Malik.</p></li><li><p>- Believe in the Revealed Scriptures ( Al - Quran )</p><p>In Islam it is a part of faith to believe all the books that were revealed to the messengers. There have been many scriptures revealed throughout the history of mankind. Allah tells us about a few of the names of the scriptures in the Qur’an.</p><p>They include the Torah which was sent to Moses, the Gospel which was sent to Jesus, the Psalms (Zaboor) which was sent to David, the scriptures of Ibrahim (Abraham), and the Qur’an itself which was sent to Muhammad (peace be upon them all).</p></li><li><p>- Believe in the Messengers </p><p>There are 25 messengers who have been mentioned by name in the Qur’an. They include: Adam, Idrees, Nooh (Noah), Hood, Salih, Ibrahim (Abraham), Lut (Lot), Ismail, Ishaq (Isaac), Ya’qoob (Jacob), Yusuf (Joseph), Shu’ayb, Ayoob (Job), Dhu’l-Kifl, Moosa (Moses), Haroon (Aaron), Dawood (David), Sulaymaan (Solomon), Ilyaas (Elias), al-Yasa’, Yunus (Jonah), Zakaria, Yahya, ‘Isa (Jesus) and Muhammad – blessings and peace be upon them all. Prophets and messengers were chosen by Allah, and were sent to every nation throughout the history of mankind</p></li><li><p>- Believe in the Day of Judgement -</p><p>he Day of Judgment is the day when Allah judges mankind for their deeds. Every human being will be resurrected from their graves and will be given their book of deeds – both good and bad. They will regret the sins they committed as well as the good deeds they had missed. Believing in the Last Day includes the belief of the punishment and bliss of the grave, belief in the resurrection, belief in the judgment of the scales which will balance your deeds, and belief in Paradise and Hell.</p></li><li><p>- Believe in Divine Decree ( Al - Qadar )</p><p>Al-Qadar is what Allah decrees for every single creation based on what has preceded in terms of His Knowledge and in accordance with His Wisdom. Belief in this pillar is to believe that everything that happens, good or bad, happens only according to Allah’s divine decree.</p></li></ul><p><br/></p><p>Ihsan ;-</p><p><strong>Ihsan</strong> (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_language">Arabic</a>: إحسان <em>ʾiḥsān</em>, also romanized <em>ehsan</em>), is an Arabic term meaning "to do beautiful things", "beautification", "perfection", or "excellence" (Arabic: <em>husn</em>, lit. 'beauty'). </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>It derives from the root word : أدب - to refine, to educate, to discipline. It denotes a habit, an etiquette, a manner of conduct, a custom, refinement, good breeding, good manners, social graces, decorum etc.</p><p><br/></p><p>Adab refers to <strong>the Islamic etiquette and entails good manners, morals, and appropriate actions adopted by Islam, derived from its teachings and instructions.</strong></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Adab vs Akhlaq </strong></p><p>Akhlāq (morality) and adab (manners) are two frequently used terms to denote ethics. Akhlāq is moral philosophy, while adab is the actual practices of morality. Adab “addresses what is the proper, or improper, behaviour of man, while the first (akhlāq) addresses why such actions are proper or otherwise (Hashi, 2011, p. 122)”. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I joined an Usrah group with one simple wish – to dive deeper into my faith and feel more connected to my community. I was seeking something more meaningful in my life, and Usrah seemed like the perfect place to explore that.</p><p><br/></p><p>In our regular meetings, we'd sit down together and dive into all sorts of topics – from delving into the Quran to discussing the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. It wasn't just about learning facts; it was about understanding how these teachings could shape our lives for the better. Additional, The best part was the discussions – we'd share ideas off each other, ask questions, and share personal experiences. It felt like a safe space to grow, learn, and even make mistakes along the way.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>
