Before that, we introduced ourselves between usrah members. We shared our names, origins, previous school and our own hobbies we do during leisure time.

First and foremost, we discussed about adab from our own perspective in general. I describe "Adab" is a term of respect and manners. Then, we dive deep into adab in seeking knowledge where it is to being respectful to teachers, lecturers and whoever who teach us something regardless of their background. Besides that, a good intention; we should seek knowledge for the sake of Allah and not because of the exam nor to His creation. If we tend to learn just for the exam then we will not applicate the knowledge in our lives. In general, as we know

“الأدب قبل العلم”

In addition, we talked about Al-Quran as Book of Guidance. We elaborate why Al-Quran is the Book of Guidance. It is because it revealed from Allah and pass to his Prophet P.B.U.H. Plus, Allah S.W.T promised in sūrah Al-Hijir verse 9 (15:9)

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَـٰفِظُونَ ٩

“It is certainly We Who have revealed the Reminder, and it is certainly We Who will preserve it.”

Thus, it is the book we must follow without hesitation as stated by Prophet P.B.U.H:

تَركْتُ فِيْكُمْ أَمْرَيْنِ، لَنْ تَضِلُّوْا مَا تَمَسَّكْتُمْ بِهِمَا: كِتَابَ اللَّهِ، وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّهِ

“I have left behind two things for you, and if you hold firmly to them, you will never go astray: the Book of Allah (the Quran) and the Sunnah of His Messenger."

In conclusion, as a muslim we must practice adāb in our lives to have a good relationship with our surroundings and follow Al-Quran revealed by Allah without any hesitation for us living our lives peacefully and do not passed the boundaries Al-Quran command us not to.

That's all from me. Thank you!

Based on what i've learned, The Five Pillars of Islam are the five basic acts of worship that every Muslim's faith and practice. These pillars guide how Muslims live their relationship with Allah S.W.T.

1. Shahada ( Faith )

   This first pillar is about belief. A Muslim declares with conviction: "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger." This simple statement shapes Muslim's identity. It's not just words - it's a lifelong commitment to live according to God's guidance and follow the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

   As Allah S.W.T mention in (Surah Muhammad, 47;19)

   فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ

   “So know that there is no god except Allah.”

   
   

2. Salah ( Prayer )

   Prayer is the second pillar and the heartbeat of a Muslim’s daily life. Muslims pray five times a day – at dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset, and night. These prayers are moments to pause, disconnect from the world, and reconnect with Allah. It brings peace, discipline, and a sense of purpose. Each prayer starts with washing (wudu'), which symbolizes purity inside and out.

   As Allah S.W.T mention in (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:43)

   وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَارْكَعُوا مَعَ الرَّاكِعِينَ

   “Establish prayer, give zakat, and bow with those who bow in worship.”

   
   

3. Zakat ( Charity )

   Zakat is more than giving money – it’s about caring for others. Every year, Muslims who can afford it share a small portion of their wealth (usually 2.5%) with those in need. It teaches empathy, reduces poverty, and reminds us that wealth is a trust from Allah. By giving, we purify not only our wealth but also our hearts from greed.

   As Allah S.W.T mention in (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:110)

   وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ

   “And establish prayer and give zakat.”

   
   

4. Sawm ( Fasting in Ramadhan )

   Every year during Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset. No food, no drink – but it’s much more than that. Fasting trains patience, gratitude, and self-control. It’s a time to reflect, strengthen faith, and increase acts of kindness. At sunset, families break the fast together, and the month ends with a beautiful celebration called Eid al-Fitr.

   As Allah mention in (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:183)

   يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

   “O you who have believed, fasting is prescribed upon you as it was prescribed upon those before you, so that you may become righteous.”

   
   

5. Hajj ( Pilgrimage )

   Hajj is a spiritual journey to Makkah that every Muslim aims to do once in their life if they can. It’s a powerful experience where millions from around the world stand together, all wearing simple white clothes, leaving behind differences of wealth and status. It’s about humility, unity, and a reminder that we all return to Allah one day.

   As Allah mention in (Surah Al-Imran, 3:97)

   وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا

   “And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House – for whoever is able to find thereto a way.”

To sum up, The Five Pillars of Islam are like a roadmap for Muslims – they shape how we believe, pray, give, fast, and make the journey of Hajj. They keep us close to Allah, remind us to care for others, and guide us to live with purpose, discipline, and unity.

That’s all from me. Thank you!

Our Naqibah once said that "As Muslims, our faith isn’t just about words, it’s about what we believe deep inside and how we live it every day. That’s why the 6 Pillars of Faith (Rukun Iman) are so important. They’re the foundation of who we are.

1) Belief in Allah
Allah is One, the Almighty.
How do we strengthen this belief?

• Pray 5 times daily (faith in action).

• Reflect on the Qur’an (learn & live by it).

• Look at the universe (be amazed by His creation).

• Believe in Allah the way He’s described in the Qur’an & Sunnah.

2) Belief in the Angels
Angels are created from light, not like humans.
Examples: Raqib & Atid who record all our deeds.
Knowing this makes us more mindful & increases our taqwa.

3) Belief in the Divine Books

• Zabur (to Prophet Dawud)

• Taurat (to Prophet Musa)

• Injil (to Prophet Isa)

• Qur’an (to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ)

The Qur’an is our ultimate guide. Not just to read, but to understand, integrate, and practice. Because knowledge without action = nothing

Always ask Allah for guidance to stay on the right path.

Conclusion
Believing in Allah, His Angels, and His Books is the foundation of being a Muslim. Faith is not only in the heart but it has to be lived out daily. Practicing the pillars of faith shows the beauty of Islam & proves we are true Muslims. When we live by it, in shaa Allah, we’ll find happiness in this world and the Hereafter.

That's all from me. Thank you !

Qur’an: “Indeed, Allah loves those who rely upon Him and those who do good (ihsan).”
(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:195)

I, Nur Adlina binti Mohamad Jefri, contributed by preparing the part on “Good Deeds Performed with Quality Earn Greater Rewards.” May this message reach the readers and bring benefit, in shaa Allah.

Why Did Allah Send Messengers?

• To guide mankind from worshipping others besides Allah.

• To explain the purpose of life: worship Allah, obey His commands & avoid His prohibitions.

• To give the true guidance of life.

• No excuse on the Day of Judgment (revelation has been delivered).

• Messengers as role models for humanity.

Following the Messenger as a Role Model

• Gratitude – whoever is not thankful to people is not thankful to Allah.

• Look at those less fortunate → helps us be more grateful.

• Tolerance & making things easy, not burdensome.

• Repent often (Prophet repented 70× daily).

• Live moderately.

• Practice justice – Prophet valued taqwa, not race or status.

• Self-reflection – focus on your own flaws, not others’.

Belief in the Hereafter

• The world will end; everything will perish.

• Resurrection and accountability of deeds.

• Importance:

  • A guide to do good.

  • Encourages thinking about consequences of actions.

  • Keeps us away from evil.

  • Motivation to compete in goodness.

Belief in Qada’ & Qadar (Divine Decree)

• Knowledge: Allah knows everything – past, present, future.

• Writing: All is written by Allah.

• Will: Everything happens by Allah’s permission.

• Execution: Whatever Allah decrees will surely occur.

• Qur’an: “Indeed, We created all things according to a decree.” (Al-Qamar: 49).

First of all, Ihsan is the highest level of faith where a Muslim does every action with excellence, sincerity, and awareness of Allah’s presence. It goes beyond rituals and touches every aspect of life, including how we treat people, animals, and the world around us.

Ihsan (Excellence in Faith)

• Doing everything with goodness and perfection.

• Worship Allah as if you see Him; if not, know that He sees you.

• Allah commands justice and ihsan.

• Example: slaughtering animals with kindness.

• Ihsan is not only in worship, but in dealings with all creation.

Ihsan & the Hereafter

• Related to our accountability (hisab).

• Inspires us to do more good.

• This world is not the place of perfect reward.

• Believers get reward, but those with ihsan are more assured of Paradise.

• Trains the heart to feel Allah’s constant watch (muraqabah).

• Muslims should embody ihsan in all actions.

• Its fruits will be seen in the Hereafter.

• Islam is not just laws, but a way to improve character, deeds, and relationships.

• Path to Paradise = do everything in the best way.

In conclution, living with ihsan shapes our character, strengthens our faith, and prepares us for the Hereafter. By striving to do everything in the best way, we follow the path that leads to Allah’s pleasure and Paradise.

It derives from the root word : أدب - to refine, to educate and to dicipline. Adab refers to good manners, morals, and appropriate actions derived from the teachings and instructions of Islam.

Adab

• Not just about quality, but also a process of self-discipline.

• Difference with Akhlaq:

  • Akhlaq = principles/morals.

  • Adab = how we behave in real life.

Adab Towards Parents

• Example: Prophet Ibrahim (Abu al-Anbiya).

• Grew up in a society of idol worship.

• Corrected with reasoning, not insults.

• Prayed for his parents’ goodness.

• Remained humble, even if more knowledgeable than his parents.

Adab is the reflection of our morals in action. True adab means respecting parents with humility, gentleness, and constant prayers for their well-being.

Allah reminds us:

“And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the [final] destination.”
(Surah Luqman, 31:14)

Some of the key lessons I learned include the importance of maintaining a strong relationship with Allah through worship, understanding the role of the Prophet ﷺ as a role model, appreciating the concepts of ihsan and adab in daily life, and believing in the Hereafter and qada’ qadar as the foundation of faith. These reflections reminded me that Islam is not just theory, but a complete way of life.

I also learned to appreciate the role of my usrah peers who continuously remind, share insights, and provide encouragement. The calm and open discussions created a supportive environment that made me more confident to share my thoughts and work on my weaknesses.

Overall, this usrah has had a positive impact on me.

It reminded me that the journey of a Muslim is to continuously improve oneself, increase knowledge, and strive to draw closer to Allah in every aspect of life. I hope to remain consistent in practicing what I have learned, not only during my studies but throughout my everyday life.

As for minor improvements, the following could be added:

• Longer Q&A sessions so that all members can ask questions more openly.

• Outdoor activities (e.g., community service programs) to apply the knowledge learned.

• Personal sharing from each usrah member about daily practices, as mutual motivation.

The purpose of hikmah is to help Muslims understand Islam better and practice it in daily life. In education, hikmah helps students think deeply, ask questions, and apply Islamic values in real situations.

Niyyah means intention. Every action must be done for Allah SWT. Good deeds without sincere intention may not be accepted. To keep a good niyyah, we must be sincere, have pure intention, be clear about our goal, stay focused, and be consistent.

Amal means good deeds and worship such as prayer, zakat, fasting, hajj, and kindness to others. Amal should be done with sincere intention and practiced regularly, not only sometimes.

Ihsan means worshipping Allah as if you see Him. Even if you cannot see Him, believe that Allah always sees you. Ihsan also includes good character like patience, honesty, humility, and compassion. To practice ihsan, we must understand it, apply it in daily life, reflect on ourselves, and slowly make it part of our character.

In conclusion, Hikmah, Niyyah, Amal, and Ihsan are important parts of a Muslim’s life. Hikmah teaches us to be wise, Niyyah reminds us to always have sincere intentions, Amal encourages us to do good deeds, and Ihsan guides us to worship Allah with full awareness. When we practice all these together, we become better Muslims with strong faith, good character, and meaningful actions in our daily life.

1) Salah (Prayer)

Prayer reminds us about Allah every day. It helps us avoid bad actions and teaches us to be disciplined and humble. Prayer also gives peace to our heart.

2) Sawm (Fasting)

Fasting teaches us to control ourselves. It helps us feel what poor people feel and makes us more thankful. Fasting also builds patience and care for others.

3) Zakah (Charity)

Zakah teaches us to share and help people in need. It cleans our wealth and our heart. Giving zakah makes our community stronger.

4) Hajj (Pilgrimage)

Hajj teaches unity and equality. Everyone wears simple clothes and worships together. Hajj also teaches patience and obedience to Allah.

Conclusion

In short, prayer, fasting, zakah, and hajj help us gain hikmah. They teach us good behaviour and make us closer to Allah. When we do ibadah sincerely, we become kinder, more patient, and better Muslims.

Importance of Ṣalāh with Khushūʿ

• Strengthens the relationship with Allah

• Builds good character and manners

• Prevents sinful behaviour

• Helps self-control and inner peace

• Strengthens faith (īmān)

“Indeed, prayer prevents immorality and wrongdoing.”
(Qur’an 29:45)

Moral Values Built Through Ṣalāh with Khushūʿ

Al-Ṭāah (Obedience to Allah)

Prayer teaches obedience and sincerity towards Allah. When performed with khushūʿ, a person obeys Allah willingly, not just out of habit. It trains discipline and responsibility in daily life.

Al-Jihad (Struggle Against the Self)

Maintaining khushūʿ requires effort to fight laziness, distractions, and negative thoughts. This inner struggle (jihad al-nafs) builds patience, strength, and consistency in doing good deeds

“Those who strive for Us, We will surely guide them.”
(Qur’an 29:69)

Muḥāsabah (Self-Reflection)

Prayer with khushūʿ encourages self reflection. Standing before Allah makes a person think about their actions, intentions, and mistakes, leading to repentance and self improvement.

ʿIffah (Modesty and Self Control)

Khushūʿ in prayer helps control desires and prevents sinful behaviour. True prayer influences a person’s conduct outside of prayer, such as speech, behaviour, and social interactions.

Tawaḍḍuʿ (Humility)

Sujūd reminds us that we are fully dependent on Allah. Prayer with khushūʿ removes arrogance and builds humility, respect for others, and awareness of our weakness before Allah.

Conclusion

Khushūʿ is the soul of prayer. A prayer performed with understanding and sincerity shapes obedience, patience, self-control, reflection, and humility.
Prayer is not only performed , it is lived.

📖 “O believers! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may become mindful of Allah (have taqwa).”
(Qur’an 2:183)

This verse shows that fasting is an act of worship meant only for people with true faith.

“O Believers…” : Meaning

When Allah addresses “O believers”, it is a call to those who truly believe.

• Fasting is a proof of faith

• Only sincere believers can fulfil this command properly

• Correct faith is important for fasting to be accepted

“As It Was Prescribed for Those Before You”

• “Those before you” refers to previous nations, especially Jews and Christians

• Allah mentions this to:

  • Make the command feel lighter

  • Encourage Muslims to perform better than past nations

Purpose of Fasting: Taqwa (God-Consciousness)

Meaning of Taqwa

Taqwa comes from the word wiqayah, meaning protection or prevention.
It means being careful and mindful to avoid what displeases Allah.

Example by Kaʿab al-Aḥbār:
Taqwa is like walking on a thorny path carefully so you do not get hurt.

Fasting trains Muslims to control desires, actions, and behaviour, which leads to taqwa.

Hadith Reminder
The Prophet ﷺ said:

“If a person does not give up lying and bad behaviour, Allah does not need him to give up his food and drink.”
(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī)

This shows fasting is not only about hunger, but also about good character.

Virtues of Fasting

1) Ṣabr (Patience) and Self Restraint

Fasting teaches patience in three ways:

1. Patience in obeying Allah

2. Patience in avoiding sins

3. Patience during hardship and difficulty

By controlling hunger and desires, Muslims learn self-discipline and inner strength.

2) Levels of Fasting (According to Imām al-Ghazālī)

1. Basic Level
Avoiding food, drink, and marital relations.

2. Intermediate Level
Protecting body parts (tongue, eyes, ears, hands) from sin.

3. Highest Level
Protecting the heart from worldly distractions and focusing fully on Allah.

3) Raḥmah (Mercy and Empathy)

Fasting builds mercy by:

• Making Muslims feel the hunger of the poor

• Encouraging generosity and sharing food

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Whoever provides food for a fasting person to break his fast will have the same reward as the fasting person.”
(At-Tirmidhī)

Conclusion

Fasting is not just staying hungry. It is an act of worship that:

• Builds taqwa

• Strengthens patience and self-control

• Improves character and behaviour

• Creates mercy and care for others

True fasting transforms both the heart and actions.

Meaning of Zakah

Zakah means growth, cleanliness, and blessing. In Islam, zakah is a fixed amount of wealth that Muslims must give to people in need. Zakah is not only spiritual worship, but also social worship because it helps the community.

Zakah is the third pillar of Islam after shahadah and prayer. Allah often mentions zakah together with prayer, showing how important it is.

In the Quran, zakah is also called sadaqah.

Virtues of Zakah

1. Tawakkul (Trust in Allah)

Giving zakah teaches Muslims to trust Allah. A Muslim who gives zakah shows that he does not depend on money, but depends on Allah. He believes Allah will replace and increase what he gives.

2. Ukhuwwah (Brotherhood)

Zakah builds brotherhood among Muslims. It teaches care, love, and empathy. It reduces selfishness and helps create unity in the community.

Zakah also connects two relationships:

– With Allah (because it is His command)

– With people (because others receive the help)

Conclusion

Zakah has both spiritual and social benefits. It teaches Muslims to rely on Allah, feel peace when giving, and not love wealth too much. Zakah also helps the needy and strengthens unity in society.

I learned the importance of consistency in worship, good character, sincerity, patience, and trusting Allah. These lessons reminded me that real change starts from within and requires effort.

I also appreciate my usrah peers for creating a supportive environment through sharing and reminders, which encouraged me to reflect and improve.

Overall, this usrah has strengthened my relationship with Allah and taught me that Islam is not only about knowledge, but also practice. I hope to stay consistent in applying what I’ve learned in my daily life.

As for further improvements, the following could be considered:

• Do moreeeee interesting activity to make sure all the usrah members are interested with the sharing.

• Make the usrah at the specific place such as classroom or usrahroom.

• More reflection-based activities to help members relate the topics to their personal lives.

• Occasional small group discussions so everyone has a chance to participate actively.

• Short goal-setting sessions at the end of usrah to encourage members to apply what they learned during the week.
