3) Belief in His Messenger and Prophet

• Definition of Messenger and Prophet:

Prophet is a person chosen by Allah to receive revelation and guidance, in order to remind, teach, and lead their people towards the worship of Allah and righteous living.

Messenger is a person chosen by Allah to receive revelation and commanded to deliver it to his people, often with a new law (shari‘ah) or to correct corrupted teachings of previous communities.

آمَنَ ٱلرَّسُولُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍۢ مِّن رُّسُلِهِۦ ۚ وَقَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ

“The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and so have the believers. All of them have believed in Allah, His angels, His Books, and His messengers, [saying], ‘We make no distinction between any of His messengers.’ And they say, ‘We hear and we obey. (Grant us) Your forgiveness, our Lord. And to You is the (final) return.’” (Al-Baqarah; 2: 285)

• Belief in the Messenger means having faith that Allah has chosen certain human beings as His messengers to deliver His guidance to mankind. It includes accepting their truthfulness, obeying their teachings, following their example, and affirming that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the final messenger.

• Obedience to the Messenger is also obedience to Allah.

  مَّن يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ ۖ وَمَن تَوَلَّىٰ فَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظًا

  
  

  “Whoever obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allah; but whoever turns away – We have not sent you over them as a guardian.”(Al-Nisa; 4:80)

  
  

1. To convey Allah’s message– delivering revelation to mankind clearly and truthfully.

2. Explaining the creation of human- clarifying the Qur’an and wisdom through words and actions.

3. Showing the right path that leads to Paradise- showing the straight path and inviting them to worship Allah alone

4. To warn and give glad tidings- warning against disobedience and giving hope of Allah’s mercy.

5. To establish justice- upholding truth and guiding communities with fairness.

Application and daily life;

~always be grateful- “Whoever does not thank people, has not thanked Allah.”

(Narrated by Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, and authenticated by al-Albani).

~show kindness to all mankind- “The Most Merciful shows mercy to those who are merciful. Be merciful to those on the earth and the One above the heavens will have mercy upon you.”

(Narrated by Abu Dawud & al-Tirmidhi, authenticated by al-Albani)

~Be patient when facing difficulties- يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ

Translation:

“O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.”(Al-Baqarah; 2:153)

4)Belief in the Hereafter

Belief in the Hereafter means having faith that life does not end with death, but that all human beings will be resurrected, judged by Allah, and rewarded or punished according to their deeds. It includes believing in events such as the grave, resurrection, the Day of Judgment, Paradise, and Hell.

وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ وَبِالْآخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ

Translation:

“And who believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was revealed before you, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith].”(Al-Baqarah; 2: 4)

• The importance of believing in the Hereafter.

> Provides ultimate purpose – Reminds us that life is temporary and the true life is in the Hereafter

> Encourages righteousness – Motivates people to do good and avoid sins.

> Creates accountability – Reminds us that every deed will be judged by Allah

• The consequences of belief in the Last Day.

< Encourages good deeds (Al- Insyiqaq:6)

< strengthening one’s love for Allah

< instilling fear of Allah (Al-Ghafir:16)

Belief in Qada’ and Qadar

إِنَّا كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَـٰهُ بِقَدَرٍۢ ٤٩

Indeed, We created everything according to destiny (which has been determined).(Al- Qamar:49)

Definition Qada’ and Qadar:

Qadar (القدر) literally means measure or decree. In Islamic belief, it refers to Allah’s predestination of all things and events according to His eternal knowledge, wisdom, and will. Everything that occurs in creation—whether big or small, good or bad—happens according to the measure and plan set by Allah.

Qada’ (القضاء) in Islam refers to Allah’s execution or bringing into reality what He has already decreed (Qadar). While Qadar is the eternal decree and measurement of everything, Qada’ is its actual occurrence at the time Allah wills it.

4 Key Point

1. Allah’s Knowledge (Ilm) – Allah knows everything in the past, present, and future, including what His creation will do. (Al-An’am:59)

2. Allah’s Writing (Kitabah) – All that will happen has been written in al-Lawh al-Mahfuz (the Preserved Tablet). (Al-Haj:70)

3. Allah’s Will (Mashiah) – Nothing occurs except by Allah’s will; what He wills happens, and what He does not will does not happen. (At-Takwir:29)

4. Allah’s Creation (Khalq) – Allah is the Creator of all things, including the actions of His servants, while humans are accountable for their choices. (An-Nur:2)

Advantages of Belief in Qada’ and Qadar

• Brings inner peace

• Encourage patience and Contentment

• Motivates effort and Optimism

• Streghtens Tawhid (Oneness of Allah

Definition : Ihsan is derived literally from the Arabic word حسن hasana which means to be good, to beautify. Hasan means suitable, beautiful, proper, or fitting or good. According to Ibn Manzur, Ihsan indicates the significance of benevolence, the performance of good conduct, and the act of mercy. Besides, The Oxford Dictionary defines benevolence as the quality of being well-meaning or kind. Ihsan in its technical meaning refers to doing what is beautiful and establishing perfection in life.

• THE CONCEPT OF IHSAN IN THE QURAN AND HADITH

  3 commands

  -justice

  -goodness

  -giving assistance to relatives

  
  

  3 Prohibition

  -immorality

  -wrongdoing

  -enmity

a)Respect and obedience.

Muslim scholars and jurists unanimously hold that obedience to parents is wājib (obligatory) only in what is permissible - and not in what is forbidden or sinful. The Prophet S.A.W. said: There is no obedience to the created in the disobedience of the Creator. The Qur´ān also highlights one’s treatment towards the non-believer

parents in Sūrah Luqmān; 31:15,

“But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not, but behave with them in the world kindly.”

b)Well treatment

The Qur’an emphasizes in detail how one should treat parents with respect, especially when they become old, weak, and emotionally sensitive. Among the divine instructions are:

• Do not even say “Ugh” to them — as a sign of displeasure, anger, or contempt (Qur’an 17:23).

• Do not scold them — “wa lā tanharhumā” (Qur’an 17:23).

• Speak to them with respect — addressing them with soft, loving, and gracious words (Qur’an 17:23).

• Lower the wing of humility before them out of mercy — “wa-ikhfiḍ lahumā janāḥa al-dhulli mina al-raḥmah” (Qur’an 17:24).

c) Manifestation of Ihsan

Abu Ya‘la Shaddād ibn Aws (RA), the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“Verily Allah has prescribed Iḥsān (excellence, perfection) in all things. Thus, if you kill, kill well; and if you slaughter, slaughter well. Let each one of you sharpen his blade and let him spare suffering to the animal he slaughters.”

(Reported by Muslim)

1. Iḥsān is prescribed in all aspects of life — excellence, perfection, and kindness must be reflected in every action.

2. Killing well — means carrying out an act without cruelty, avoiding unnecessary pain or torment.

3. Slaughtering well — signifies showing mercy and compassion even to animals.

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE JUDGEMENT DAY

يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّي لَا يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقْتِهَا إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ ثَقُلَتْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ  لَا تَأْتِيكُمْ إِلَّا بَغْتَةً يَسْأَلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِيٌّ عَنْهَا  قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِندَ اللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ (Al-A’raf: 187)

They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival? Say, “Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lays heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly.” They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, “Its knowledge is only with Allah, but most of the people do not know.”

Reason of Ibadah:

• To fulfill the purpose of human creation

• Express the highest form of humility and submission to Allah

• Attain benefits in both this world and the hereafter

Hikmah of Ibadah:

1. Strengthening connection: it builds a strong, loving and dependent relationship with our Creator, fostering humility.

2. Gratitude & Love: remembering God’s bounties through worship encourages gratitude and love for Him.

3. Spiritual Purification: it cleanses the soul, helping us to overcome negative traits and cultivate positive ones like patience, sincerity, and discipline.

4. Moral Development: acts of worship often promote good character, such as honesty (in salah), generosity (in zakah) and self control (in sawm).

=it means the presence of one’s heart during every recitation such as dhikr and supplication uttered by his tongue, thinking and contemplating on their meanings and feeling as though he is asking to Allah SWT.

Allah SWT say;

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ (1) الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ (2

Meaning: “Truly, the believers have attained success—those who have khushuʿ (humility and attentiveness) in their prayers.”

Khusyuk is divided into two types:

1. Khusyuk of the heart: refers to being fully focused in prayer, with love for Allah SWT, awe of His punishment, hope for His reward, and a sense of closeness and peace. This heartfelt khusyuk forms the foundation for bodily khusyuk, as it underlies all actions and words in the prayer.

2. Khusyuk of the body: refers to calm and orderly movements in prayer, reciting zikr and du’a without haste, lowering the gaze toward the place of prostration, avoiding distractions, and refraining from unnecessary movement

Hukum of Khusyu’

Khusyuk is among the recommended (sunnah) aspects of prayer and serves as a complement to it. This view is held by Imam Al-Nawawi and several other scholars.

Two Things That Prevent Khusyu’

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

‘Indeed, the abundance of waswās (whispers of doubt) comes from many doubts and desires, and from the heart’s attachment to things it loves, which drives one to seek them, as well as things it dislikes, which the heart is inclined to avoid.’

Ways to Attain Khusyuk in Prayer

• Step 1: Preparing for Prayer

  • Clean yourself and perform ablution (wudhu). Do not pray immediately after eating.

  • Do not pray while needing to relieve yourself.

  • Wear clean and tidy clothing.

  • Avoid overeating or drinking before prayer.

  • Do not waste water during ablution.

• Step 2: When Approaching Prayer

  • Perform the prayer in congregation (if possible).

  • Focus your heart and mind on the prayer.

  • Imagine it as your last prayer or reflect on death.

• Step 3: During Prayer

  • Understand and reflect on the recitations in prayer.

  • Have a thorough understanding of the fiqh of prayer.

  • Humble and subdue yourself before Allah SWT.

  • Glorify and exalt Allah SWT.

  • Increase the practice of Sunnah in prayer, whether in words (qauli) or actions (fi’li).

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ (١)

Successful indeed are the believers (1)

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَاتِهِمْ خَـٰشِعُونَ (٢)

those who humble themselves in prayer (2)

At -Taah’ (Submission & Loylty)

• obedience to Allah with sincerity

• Acceptance of Allah’s Commands

• Trains, discipline and obedience

Al- Jihad (Striving in the path of Allah)

• Inner struggle (jihad al-nafs)

-Juhaynah Binti Mat Saad ( 252376)-

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. May Allah continually shower His mercy upon us. We have been given an assignment for our Usrah's roleplay . The topic that we choose was “Why Do We Need To Be Humble”. In this assignment, I was assigned to do some research about the Features of being Humble, with one of my usrahmate which is Iffah Iwana. Another part were another usrahmate, which definition(athirah), Relevant Quotes from Quran Sunnah(Syakira) and conclusion(Adeelah) .The poster have been designed with Canva and we also take a template from it. We chose this topic based on our learning during the fourth usrah session, which was about Virtuous Found in Salah with Khusu’. Being humble promotes empathy and respect for others, fostering positive interpersonal relationships. As a muslim, we have to practice humble virtues because it is one of our manners to Allah.

What is sawm?

=Sawm is the Arabic term used to describe the act of fasting. Passed the age of puberty, Muslims are required to fast during the month of Ramadan, which entails abstaining from food, drink, sexual relations and displeasing speech and behaviour from dawn until dusk.

-Fasting during the month of Ramadan is a mandatory, fundamental pillar of Islam for all able-bodied, sane, adult Muslims

The effects of Fasting

• Train patience

  -Patience in Obedience: Voluntarily fulfilling the command of Allah by fasting, despite the physical challenges.

  -Restraint (Self-Control): Not just abstaining from food, but restraining the tongue, eyes, and ears from negative behavior, such as arguing or lying.

  -Endurance of Hardship: Persevering through hunger, thirst, and fatigue without complaining, and maintaining composure in stressful situations

• Fasting encourages empathy

  -This experience increases awareness of the difficulties faced by underprivileged and food-insecure communities.

  -Fasting promotes self-discipline and reflection, which contribute to moral and emotional development.

  -It fosters feelings of compassion, gratitude, and concern for the well-being of others.

  -As a result, fasting enhances social responsibility and encourages prosocial behaviours such as generosity and charity.

from Zaid bin Khalid al-Juhani RA, where the Prophet PBUH said:

مَنْ فَطَّرَ صَائِمًا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لاَ يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَجْرِ الصَّائِمِ شَيْئًا

“Whoever provides the food for a fasting person to break his fast with, then for him is the same reward as his (the fasting person's), without anything being diminished from the reward of the fasting person.”

Al Ghazālī describes three classes of fasting:

According to Imam al-Ghazali in

Ihya Uloom ad-Deen, fasting comprises three distinct levels:the ordinary (abstaining from food/drink/sex), the special (guarding limbs/senses from sin), and the elite (fasting of the heart from worldly thoughts/concerns).

1. The Fast of the Ordinary (Sawm al-’Umūm/Common Folk):
This is the basic level, which involves abstaining from food, drink, and sexual gratification from dawn until sunset.

2. The Fast of the Special (Sawm al-Khusūs/Elite):
This level goes beyond the physical. It involves keeping the senses—ears, eyes, tongue, hands, and feet—free from sins, such as gossip, lying, backbiting, and harmful gazing. It also includes avoiding overeating at Iftar.

3. The Fast of the Elite (Sawm Khusūs al-Khusūs/Super-Elite):
This is the highest level, where the heart (qalb) fasts from unworthy concerns and worldly thoughts, focusing entirely on Allah. It involves total detachment from anything other than God, with the heart focusing solely on divine remembrance.

Linguistic meaning: Derived from the Arabic word meaning pure, fertile, clean, blessed, and growth.

Shariah meaning: Zakat is the act of giving away specific wealth at a specific rate according to specific conditions to be distributed to specific groups.

Ruling: Zakat is fardhu ain (an individual obligation) on every Muslim who fulfills the required conditions.

At - Tawbah:60

۞ إِنَّمَا ٱلصَّدَقَـٰتُ لِلْفُقَرَآءِ وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينِ وَٱلْعَـٰمِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا وَٱلْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَفِى ٱلرِّقَابِ وَٱلْغَـٰرِمِينَ وَفِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱبْنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ ۖ فَرِيضَةًۭ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌۭ ٦٠

Alms-tax is only for the poor and the needy, for those employed to administer it, for those whose hearts are attracted ˹to the faith˺, for ˹freeing˺ slaves, for those in debt, for Allah’s cause, and for ˹needy˺ travellers. ˹This is˺ an obligation from Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

Differences Between Zakat and Sadaqah

• Obligation: Zakat is mandatory (a pillar of Islam), while Sadaqah is voluntary.

• Amount: Zakat is fixed (typically 2.5% of surplus wealth), whereas Sadaqah has no minimum or maximum amount.

• Recipients: Zakat is restricted to eight specific categories (mostly the poor and needy). Sadaqah can be given to anyone, including neighbors, family, and non-Muslims.

1. Benefits of Zakat Regarding Tawakkal(Trust in Allah)

• Purification of Wealth and Soul: Zakat cleanses the giver’s heart from greed and stinginess, turning them toward generosity.

• Increased Faith and Reliance: It is an act of worship that shows gratitude, strengthening the bond with Allah. It is believed that zakat does not decrease wealth but rather increases it and brings blessings (barakah).

2. Benefits of Zakat Regarding Ukhuwah(Brotherhood)

• Builds Collective Responsibility: It fosters a sense of community care (ukhuwah Islamiyyah), where Muslims feel responsible for the well-being of their brothers and sisters.

• Provides Dignity to Recipients: Instead of charity that demeans, zakat provides the needy with a "rightful claim" to funds, allowing them to live with dignity and security. 

Hadith states, "

Verily, you will never leave anything for the sake of Allah Almighty but that Allah will replace it with something better for you" (Musnad Ahmad 23074). 

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to our Usrah Assistant, Sister Saidatul Miza, for her unwavering dedication and patience in guiding us. Her ability to convey knowledge so effectively and sincerely has been a true inspiration to us all.

I feel incredibly blessed to have crossed paths with such wonderful new friends. My hope is that the insights shared 'from heart to heart' during our sessions will serve as a catalyst for us to remain steadfast (istiqomah) in our pursuit of becoming better versions of ourselves. May the seeds of goodness we have sown together continue to flourish and lead us toward excellence in this life and the hereafter.
