I am eighteen years old. I am currently residing in the state of Selangor. My favourite pastime is watching Korean dramas and listening to music because it relaxes me. This year, I'm studying engineering foundations at CFS IIUM. Unfortunately, I have not been able to attend classes on campus, so I am uploading a photo of myself at Victoria Institution, my secondary school.]]> 2021-10-22 14:55:17 UTC https://padlet.com/aliffhakim39/sf3xm3ijfojzbx58/wish/1836515229 Usrah 1 Project aliffhakim39 https://padlet.com/aliffhakim39/sf3xm3ijfojzbx58/wish/1836529722 The poster I made for the project
Why are we tested? 
This is a very common question from Muslims, people of other faiths, or no faith—so it’s important to reflect on it. Lack of answers can sometimes distance people from their faith—if a person doesn’t understand why trials happen they can start to feel life is unfair or even that God is being unfair. But Allah is Al-Adl, The Just, and He is Ar-Rahman, The Most Merciful; He never wants ill for His servants, He only wants the best for us. There is a lot of evidence in the Qur’an and hadith that helps us answer this question of why we are tested.

Ibn Al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) stated that when we are tested, we are faced with 2 options:
  •  to be patient
  • to not be patient!
So when we lack patience and get frustrated/ bitter/ panicky, or lose hope/ blame Allah, this is actually a choice we make, and not a very good one. But those who choose option (1), as difficult as it is, benefit from their tests in this life and also gain in the next life, i.e. Jannah.
So how can we choose to have more patience and contentment when tested? Thanks to the sisters who gave the following suggestions:
  1. Read/ listen to Qur’an (because dhikr gives contentment – see Surah Ra’d: 28).
  2. Make du’a for Allah’s help, strength, and relief from the test – just as Ya’qub (as), and Maryam (as) and the Prophet (saw) all did.
  3. Gratitude puts our tests in perspective and stops us from complaining; it is the greatest route towards Sabr.
  4. Remember what others are going through – remember the Ummah, and people around you in your own communities; remind yourselves of the tests the Prophets went through – they provide us with good examples of perseverance. Bear in mind every single person is being tested in different ways.
  5. Remember nothing in this life lasts forever, so the test will have an end inshaAllah: “verily with every hardship comes ease” [Qur’an 94:5-6].
  6. Allah does not burden any soul beyond what it can bear [Qur’an 2:286]; Allah has confidence in us, so we too need to have confidence in our ability to get through the test.
  7. Muhaasabah – use tests as an opportunity for self-assessment; are there things you can do better next time? Are there habits/ characteristics you need to change?
  8. Deal with your test one step at a time – i.e. if you have a task to complete, give yourself small goals. Or if you are facing a long-term test, try to have patience for that day, and start afresh with your goal of sabr the next day etc.
  9. Have trust in Allah (tawakkal), whatever the test is – because Allah is the best of Planners and teaches us the best lessons.
  10. Strengthen your salah: “Seek help in patience and prayer” [Qur’an 2: 153]

This is extremely important to me because it allows me to prepare myself with a deeper understanding of Islam while also providing me with sufficient knowledge of Islam before entering the real world, which is full of distractions.]]> 2021-10-22 15:17:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aliffhakim39/sf3xm3ijfojzbx58/wish/1836571673 What are my goals in the future? aliffhakim39 https://padlet.com/aliffhakim39/sf3xm3ijfojzbx58/wish/1836606305 My long-term ambitions are to work as a software engineer and to graduate from IIUM with honours.

Salah is the 2nd most important pillar of Islam which is obligatory on every Muslim. We should offer Salah with “Khushu” in order to gain the actual reward and more blessings from Almighty Allah. Khushu is an Arabic word used to refer to humbleness, submissiveness, and gentleness within heart due to the consciousness of Allah’s Greatness and Dignity while offering Salah.]]> 2022-02-07 14:30:57 UTC https://padlet.com/aliffhakim39/sf3xm3ijfojzbx58/wish/2033191144 Reflection on Usrah 2 aliffhakim39 https://padlet.com/aliffhakim39/sf3xm3ijfojzbx58/wish/2075819350 This is my reflection on what I have learned throughout Usrah 2
1. Topic 1 = I learned that we need to have the right niat before doing something so that our action will be count as ibadah.
2. Topic 2 = I learned about the advantages of ibadah Salah,Sawm,Zakah and Hajj based on respective surah and ayat.
3. Topic 3 = I learned that for your Salah to be accepted as deed to Allah we need to do it with khushu'
4. Topic 4 = I learned about the virtues that can be found in the act of Salah which is Al-Ta'ah,Al-Jihad,Muhasabah,Iffah and Tawaddu'
5. Topic 5 = I learned about the virtues that can be found in the act of Fasting which is sabr,takrim and rahmah 
6. Topic 6 = I learned about the virtues that can be found in the act of zakah or sadaqah which is tawakkul and ukhuwwah
7. Topic 7 = I learned about the virtues that can be found in the act of Hajj or umrah which is Al-Tadhiyyah and Taqwa

My suggestion for improvement for this usrah is to have more graphic contents so I will be easier to be understand.
