Above all, my deepest love and gratitude go to my mom and dad, who are my pillars of strength and the foundation of everything I have achieved in life. Their unwavering support, love, and guidance have shaped me into the person I am today. I cannot imagine my life without them. They are my greatest inspiration, and I credit all my accomplishments to their sacrifices and belief in me. The bond we share as a family is truly unbreakable, and every moment spent together is something I treasure deeply. My family is my safe place, my happiness, and my reason to keep striving.

I am someone who is easy to work with because I value understanding and collaboration. I always strive to maintain a positive attitude and build good relationships with those around me. To relax and release stress, I love taking long walks. They give me time to reflect, unwind, and gain clarity about my goals. I am determined to keep working toward my dream and hope to inspire others along the way.

The poster emphasises the importance of giving Sadaqah by referencing a verse from the Quran: “Who will lend to Allah a good loan, which Allah will multiply many times over?” (Quran 2:245). This verse highlights that giving charity is like lending to Allah, and it will be multiplied in return. A Hadith further reassures that “Charity doesn’t decrease the wealth,” emphasising that acts of generosity will only increase blessings in a person’s life. Sadaqah protects from hardships, earns Allah’s forgiveness, and strengthens our connection with Him. It also helps build a caring and supportive community where the needs of the less fortunate are met.

Interestingly, the act is also considered sadaqah in Islam. This is based on a hadith about sadaqah; narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah, the Prophet ﷺ said, Enjoining all that is good is a sadaqah.” [Sahih al-Bukhari]

Starting to give Sadaqah is simple and accessible. One can begin by setting aside a small portion of their income each month for charity. Supporting the needy through donations of food, clothes, or essentials is another meaningful way to give. Additionally, volunteering time for community service, such as visiting orphanages, helping at food banks, or organising charitable events, is equally valuable. Every small act, when done with sincerity, becomes a source of blessings and a means of strengthening social bonds.

In conclusion, Sadaqah is not just about giving; it’s about cultivating kindness, generosity, and empathy in everyday life. It protects us from difficulties, brings rewards from Allah, and helps build stronger communities. Whether it is through money, time, or simple gestures of kindness, everyone can give Sadaqah in their own way. By embracing this act of charity, we uplift others while enriching our own lives with blessings and peace.

One of the most beautiful things I have gained from giving Sadaqah is protection and comfort. There have been moments in my life when I faced challenges, but after giving to others, I noticed how things started to ease. It’s as if Sadaqah shields me from difficulties, and this brings me a sense of calm. I’ve also learnt to trust that charity doesn’t reduce what I have. In fact, I feel like I’ve been given even more sometimes in the form of opportunities, blessings, or simply the happiness of seeing someone else smile because of my help.

I’ve also gained a new sense of purpose and fulfilment. Knowing that I can make a difference in someone’s life, no matter how small, makes me feel more meaningful. It’s a reminder that we all have the ability to spread kindness and create positive change. Whether it’s donating money, supporting an orphan, sharing knowledge, or volunteering my time, every effort counts, and that gives me so much happiness.

Through Sadaqah, I have gained blessings, protection, and a stronger sense of community. It has made me a better person: more patient, grateful, and aware of the struggles others face. I’ve come to realise that true wealth isn’t just what I keep for myself but what I give to others. The joy and peace I feel from practicing Sadaqah have truly enriched my life, and I know that these small acts of kindness will continue to bring blessings for me and those around me.

I also want to broaden the ways I give. While monetary donations are important, I believe there are so many other ways to practice Sadaqah. I wish to offer more non-monetary acts of kindness, like sharing my knowledge, helping someone in need of support, or simply showing compassion through a smile or kind words. These small, everyday actions may seem simple, but they can bring joy and relief to someone who might really need it.

I also hope to use my time more effectively for Sadaqah. Volunteering is something I truly wish to do more often. Whether it’s helping at a food bank, visiting orphanages, or participating in community events, I want to dedicate my energy to actions that make a positive difference. Giving my time and effort can be just as valuable as giving money, and I want to be someone who steps up when there is an opportunity to help.

Finally, I want to inspire others to give as well. By sharing the importance of Sadaqah and leading by example, I hope to encourage my family, friends, and community to give more and spread kindness. Together, we can create a stronger, more caring world where everyone supports one another. Through improving my practice of Sadaqah, I hope to grow as a person, make a positive impact on others, and earn the blessings of Allah.

I am truly grateful to my amazing groupmates for their hard work, cooperation, and dedication throughout this assignment. It was such a smooth and enjoyable experience working together because everyone was supportive and easy to collaborate with. Your teamwork and positivity made the process so much easier, and I’m thankful for the effort and commitment each of you put in. I couldn’t have asked for a better team!

From our poster, we focused on three key ideas. First, standing up for our religion with kindness. Second, using fasting as a way to build patience. And third, showing good character even when things don’t go our way. These sound simple enough, but when we’re put in real situations, they can be challenging.

Our role play helped bring that message to life. A misunderstanding at Family Mart quickly turned into something bigger. The pakcik was upset, probably tired and fasting, but reacting with anger wasn’t the right way. Aiman reminded him that Islam also teaches patience and compassion. Jason and Kevin didn’t mean any harm; they just didn’t realise. It showed how easily things can spiral if we don’t pause and respond calmly.

What I really learnt is that takrim isn’t just about showing respect during religious times. It’s about respecting people, no matter who they are or what they believe. It’s about empathy, kindness, and being willing to understand others. In a diverse country like Malaysia, that kind of mindset matters more than ever.

Takrim isn’t just a word we say. It’s a value we need to live by, especially when it’s not easy to do so.

In CCUB1601, we explored the concept of Sadaqah. At first, I thought charity mainly referred to money, but through the class, I realised that Sadaqah is about much more than that. Giving for the sake of Allah has brought a kind of peace and contentment that is hard to describe. Whether it’s donating money, sharing food, volunteering my time, offering kind words or even smiling at someone, I learnt that these small actions can have a big impact. Sadaqah reminded me to be more grateful, more compassionate, and more connected to the people around me. It has also made me more aware of the struggles others face and helped me feel a sense of purpose, knowing that I can contribute, even in small ways. Interestingly, I noticed that the more I gave, the more I seemed to receive not just material things, but blessings, comfort, and a stronger faith.

One of the things I appreciated most was how different the two classes felt. In CCUB1601, we gave a presentation, while in CCUB1602, we acted out a role play. As someone who is naturally introverted, both of these activities challenged me in different ways. At first, I was nervous and unsure of myself, but along the way, I felt my confidence slowly growing. Working with my group members helped me open up and communicate better, and by the end of both projects, I noticed real improvement in my social skills. It may not seem like a huge change to others, but for me, it was quite significant.

These courses were more than just academic subjects for me. They were eye-opening and heartfelt. They reminded me that our faith is not just about knowledge or worship, but also about how we live, how we give, and how we treat others. Whether it was learning to give sincerely through Sadaqah or learning to honour others through Takrim, both experiences have helped shape me into someone more grounded, more mindful, and more giving.

In the end, what I gained from these classes is something I will carry with me for a long time.
