Surah Maryam 19:41–45

(Adab with parents)

يٰٓأبَتِ – conveys deep respect

“Oh my father”

-Even though Ibrahim’s father practiced idolatry,

-Ibrahim still persuaded his father with gentleness.

-Prophet Ibrahim was granted prophetic knowledge.

-As a reward for his patience in calling his father and his people to the truth,

Allah blessed him with righteous children.

Week 1: taught me the true meaning of adab that it’s not just about having good manners on the outside, but also about purifying our intentions, respecting our teachers, and being sincere in learning. It reminded me that the Qur’an is not an ordinary book that it’s a guide that will remain with us until the end of time.

Week 2: I learned how worship and learning are connected. Through the Hadith of Jibril, I understood that learning requires sincerity and purity, just like worship. Acts such as prayer, zakat, fasting, and hajj train us to stay humble, grateful, and close to Allah

Week 3: I gained a deeper understanding of iman (faith). Having faith means fully trusting Allah’s mercy and wisdom in everything that happens. I also realized that believing in angels and the divine book helps me become more aware of my actions, since everything I do is recorded.

Week 4: reminded me about the Hereafter and that life in this world is temporary. Everything we do will be judged, so it pushed me to focus more on doing good and following the guidance of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. I also learned to trust Allah’s Qada’ and Qadar, and to find peace in whatever He has planned for me.

Week 5: I learned about ihsan is doing our best in everything, especially in worship and how we treat others. It made me realize the importance of kindness, respect, and prayer for our parents. The discussion about the Day of Judgment also reminded me to always be prepared with good deeds and a sincere heart.

Week 6: Taught me that adab goes beyond manners and it’s also shown through our speech, attitude, and patience. The story of Prophet Ibrahim really inspired me to always show respect, even in disagreement, and to do da’wah with wisdom and calmness.

When we talk about hikmah and ibadah:

Ibadah is basically any good deed.

There’s a hadith:

“Hikmah is a lost treasure of the believer.”

-Meaning, even if a non-Muslim is the one giving the wisdom, a Muslim should still take it because in a way, it’s ours.

Purpose of hikmah:

So we can take lessons from it.

Niat (Intention)

Why is niat so important?

-It’s what separates whether we do something for people or for Allah.

If we’re 100% sincere for Allah, the deed lasts long, because Allah is everlasting.
This is the purity of intention.

With good niat, we know exactly why we’re doing something.

It also gives focus.

Example:

-Khusyuk in solat : avoid talking while taking wudhu’.

-No need to rush in solat because Allah owns time.

And niat helps us stay istiqamah.

Ihsan

The hadith from sahih bukhari & muslim

عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا الْأَعْمَال بِالنِّيَّاتِ وَإِنَّمَا لكل امْرِئ مَا نَوَى فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا فَهجرَته إِلَى مَا هَاجر إِلَيْهِ»

• It is a proof of our faith.

  كما كتب على الذين من قبلكم

• Fasting existed even before us.

• It was practiced by Jews and Christians (religions that originated from prophets).

• All nations before us also observed fasting.

Why does Allah mention previous nations?

• To motivate us and make the command feel lighter.

• To encourage us to be better than the nations before us.

لعلكم تتقون

• Taqwa means precaution and self-prevention from sin.
  

The relationship between taqwa and fasting:

• Sabr (patience) – fasting trains self-control.

• Muhasabah (self-reflection) – fasting encourages us to reflect on our actions and intentions.

• Wudhu: Intention, wash face, wash hands to elbows, wipe head, wash feet to ankles, and follow the order. 

• Tayammum: If no water or you're sick 

• Terms : Must be Muslim, clean from dirt, cover Awrah, face Qiblah, and know it’s prayer time.

2. The Prayer Steps

• The 13 Rukun

• Sunat Ab'adh: Extra things like Tahiyat Awal and Qunut. If you forget them, just do Sujud Sahwi at the end. 

• Dont do this in Prayer : Talking, moving too much, eating, or if your Awrah shows. 

• Makruh when.. : Praying when you're super sleepy, holding in your pee, or when food is served. 

3. Khushu'

• Means: Staying calm, focused, and knowing you are talking to Allah. 

• How to do?: Look at where you prostrate (place of Sujud), understand what you say, and don't rush like you're in a hurry

-To grow, increase, and purify.

- Is it a must?: Yes! It’s one of the five pillars of Islam, making it compulsory for Muslims. 

- It’s not meant to burden us, but to make us better people who help our community. 

Zakah vs Sadaqah

• Zakah: It’s compulsory and has a very specific structure (like how much and when to pay). 

• Sadaqah: It’s recommended (sunnah) but not a formal ritual. You can give any amount, anytime. 

1. Tawakkul: Giving Zakah shows you don't just rely on your money. You trust Allah’s promise that whatever you give away for His sake, He will replace and multiply it. 

2. Ukhuwwah: It builds a strong bond between people. It helps us stop being selfish and makes us care more about our brothers and sisters. 

Reflection

Throughout this usrah, I realised how important it is to manage my time properly. I noticed that sometimes I spend too much time on unimportant things, which affects my studies and personal growth. Listening to the sharing and discussions made me understand that using time wisely can help me become more disciplined and productive in daily life.

Improvement:

To improve myself, I plan to create a daily schedule and separate time for studying and playing. I will try to complete tasks on time and not postpone them. I also want to surround myself with friends who encourage me to do positive and meaningful activities, so we can motivate each other to become better Muslims.
