I’m originally from Mersing, Johor Darul Ta’zim. I’m the third child out of six. I was born on January 1, 2005.

I am now pursuing a degree in Tourism Management. The journey hasn’t been easy, as I had to catch up on several missed subjects, but with perseverance and doa, I’ve made it this far.

I don’t have a specific ambition, but I aspire to be someone who can help others in need, especially my family. I want to leave a lasting impact, to be remembered for the good I’ve done, and to inspire others.

For me, success isn’t about wealth or status—it’s about making a difference, even in small ways, and giving back to the community. I believe that with hard work, sincerity, and faith, the future will always hold something beautiful. .ೃ࿐

"Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear."
(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:286)

First of all, what is adab?
Adab refers to proper manners, ethics, and respectful behavior in various aspects of life, especially in seeking knowledge. In the context of learning, adab emphasizes humility, sincerity, and discipline, which are essential in acquiring and benefiting from knowledge.

Adab in Learning Knowledge (Usrah):

1. Sincerity of Intentions (Ikhlas):
   Always begin with the intention to seek knowledge for the sake of Allah and to improve oneself and serve others.

   “Actions are but by intentions, and every man shall have only that which he intended.”
   (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 1)

2. Respect for Teachers and Peers:
   Show respect by listening attentively, not interrupting, and valuing the wisdom shared by others.

   "He is not of us who does not have mercy on young children, nor honor the elderly, nor know the rights of our scholars."
   (Sunan At-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1919)

3. Humility in Seeking Knowledge:
   Be humble and acknowledge that no one knows everything. Always be open to learning, even from those younger or less experienced.

   "...Above every possessor of knowledge is one [more] knowing."
   (Surah Yusuf, 12:76)

4. Consistency and Discipline:
   Learning requires patience and dedication. Attend classes or discussions regularly and avoid distractions.

   “The most beloved of deeds to Allah are those that are consistent, even if they are small.”
   (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 6464)

5. Application of Knowledge:
   Knowledge without action is empty. Apply what you learn in daily life and share it with others to create a positive impact.

   "The best of people are those who are most beneficial to others."
   (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith 23408)

Why is Adab Important?
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasized the importance of adab in all matters. He said:
“Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.”
(Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith 224)

Without adab, even the most knowledgeable person loses the beauty of their learning. As Allah reminds us in the Qur’an:

"...Indeed, Allah does not like the arrogant and boastful."
(Surah An-Nisa, 4:36)

𝓐𝓵-𝓠𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓷 𝓪𝓼 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓴 𝓸𝓯 𝓖𝓾𝓲𝓭𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮 ೄྀ࿐

The Quran is the ultimate source of guidance for humanity, revealed by Allah to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ over 23 years. It is a divine manual that provides solutions for every aspect of life—spiritual, social, moral, and personal.

What makes the Quran a book of guidance?

1. Clear Directions for Life:
   The Quran teaches us how to worship Allah, live with good morals, and maintain justice in society.

   "This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah."
   (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:2)

2. Answers to Humanity's Questions:
   The Quran provides answers to fundamental questions about life, death, and the purpose of existence. It reminds us of our responsibilities as servants of Allah and caretakers of the earth.

3. Examples from the Past:
   Through stories of prophets and past nations, the Quran teaches valuable lessons, such as patience (Prophet Ayub), obedience (Prophet Ibrahim), and perseverance (Prophet Musa).

   "Indeed, in their stories, there is a lesson for those of understanding."
   (Surah Yusuf, 12:111)

4. Universal Guidance:
   The Quran is not limited to one group of people but is meant for all humanity.

   "We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds."
   (Surah Al-Anbiya, 21:107)

Practical Benefits of the Quran's Guidance

• It helps us differentiate between right and wrong.

• It reminds us of the rewards for good deeds and warns of the consequences of sin.

• It provides inner peace and comfort during hardships.

The Quran is not just a book to be read—it is a guide to living a purposeful and fulfilling life. Let’s strive to connect deeply with it and allow its light to illuminate our path. 🌟

The Pillars of Islam are the foundation upon which a Muslim’s faith and practice are built. These five pillars represent the core beliefs and actions that every Muslim must fulfill. They are beautifully summarized in the Hadith of Jibril, where Jibril(AS) asked Prophet Muhammad ﷺ about Islam, and the Prophet ﷺ responded by outlining the five pillars.

These are the five pillars :

1. Shahada

☪ أَشْهَدُ أَن لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ

• “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger.”

• This is the core belief of Islam, affirming the oneness of Allah (Tawhid) and the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ.

"So know, [O Muhammad], that there is no deity except Allah."
(Surah Muhammad, 47:19)

2. Performing Prayer ( Solat )

ღ Subuh

ღ Zuhur

ღ Asar

ღ Maghrib

ღ Isyak

• Muslims are required to pray five times a day, maintaining a direct connection with Allah.

• Salah instills discipline, humility, and mindfulness of Allah.

"Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater."
(Surah Al-Ankabut, 29:45)

3. Zakat (Charity)

• Zakat is an obligatory act of giving a portion of one’s wealth (2.5%) to the needy. It purifies wealth and fosters compassion.

"Take from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them to increase."
(Surah At-Tawbah, 9:103)

4. Fasting in Ramadan Month

• Fasting during Ramadan is an act of devotion, self-control, and gratitude. It nurtures empathy for the less fortunate.

"O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you, that you may become righteous."
(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:183)

5. Perform the Hajj ( If Able )

• A once-in-a-lifetime journey to the Ka’bah in Makkah, required of those who are physically and financially able.

"And complete the Hajj and ‘Umrah for Allah."
(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:196)

• The cornerstone of faith is the belief in the oneness of Allah (Tawhid).

• This includes His existence, names, attributes, and that He is the only one worthy of worship.

"Say, 'He is Allah, [who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge.'"
(Surah Al-Ikhlas, 112:1-2).

2. Belief in Malaikah ( Angels )

• Malaikah are created beings who carry out Allah’s commands. They are obedient, without sin, and perform specific duties.

The Messenger (Muhammad) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (Al-Baqarah 2:285).

3. Belief in Kutub ( Books/Kitab )

• Muslims believe in all revealed scriptures, including the Kitab Tawrah, Zabur, Injil, and the Qur’an.

• The Qur’an is the final and unaltered word of Allah.

"Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur’an and indeed, We will be its guardian."
(Surah Al-Hijr, 15:9)

• Muslims believe in all prophets and messengers sent by Allah, from Adam (AS) to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the final messenger.

• Each prophet was sent to guide their people to worship Allah alone.

"And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], 'Worship Allah and avoid Taghut.'"
(Surah An-Nahl, 16:36)

2. Belief in Qiyamah ( bil-Yawm al-Akhir )

• Muslims believe in the Day of Judgment, when everyone will be held accountable for their deeds.

• This includes belief in the events of the Hereafter (e.g., resurrection, reckoning, Paradise, and Hell).

On the Day of Judgment, every individual will be resurrected to account for their lives. God describes this event in the Quran, “On that Day, people will come forward in separate groups to be shown their deeds: whoever has done an atom’s weight of good will see it, but whoever has done an atom’s weight of evil will see that” (99:6-8).

3. Belief in Qada' & Qadar

• Emphasizing that everything happens according to Allah’s divine knowledge and will.

• Allah knows everything—past, present, and future. He has written everything in the Lauh Mahfuz (Preserved Tablet).

  "Indeed, all things We created with predestination."
  (Surah Al-Qamar, 54:49)

• Allah knows everything—past, present, and future. He has written everything in the Lauh Mahfuz (Preserved Tablet).

  "Indeed, all things We created with predestination."
  (Surah Al-Qamar, 54:49)

What is Ihsan?

• The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) described ihsan in the Hadith Jibril as:
  "It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot see Him, then know that He sees you."
  (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 50)

• Ihsan applies not only in worship but also in all aspects of life, including treating others with kindness and integrity.

How to Practice Ihsan

• In Worship: Performing prayers, fasting, and other acts of worship with sincerity and humility.

• In Daily Life: Showing kindness to others, being honest, and maintaining excellent character in all interactions.

Introduction: In Islam, sustainability means managing resources wisely to meet present needs without compromising future generations. Humans, as khalifah (trustees) of the Earth, are responsible for maintaining balance and protecting the environment.

1. Key Islamic Principles:

• Humans as Trustees (Khalifah): We are responsible for managing the Earth as a trust from Allah (Al-Quran 6:165, 30:41).

• Creation as a Gift: The universe is a gift from Allah, and humans must care for it (Al-Quran 45:13).

• Balance and Proportion: Allah created everything in balance, providing enough resources if used wisely (Al-Quran 54:49).

2. Impacts of Sustainability in Islam:

• Environmental Sustainability: Resources like air, water, and soil are gifts from Allah, and we must avoid pollution and waste (Al-Quran 16:65-69).

• Social Sustainability: Islam promotes justice, generosity, and fulfilling duties to others, ensuring social responsibility.

• Economic Sustainability: Islam promotes fair wealth distribution (e.g., zakat) and ethical consumption, avoiding exploitation and waste.

3. Comparison:

   Islamic sustainability integrates spirituality with environmental, social, and economic aspects, emphasizing divine responsibility (khalifah) over human actions.

Conclusion: Islam teaches that humans, as trustees of the Earth, must care for the environment and will be accountable on the Day of Resurrection.

• Importance of Appreciating the Environment:

  • Source of Life: Nature provides the essential resources for human survival.

  • Ecosystem Balance: Nature maintains the delicate balance of ecosystems that sustain life.

  • Beauty of Nature: The beauty of the environment is a reminder of Allah’s greatness.

• Nature in Islam:

  • A Sign of Allah’s Greatness: The natural world is a sign of Allah's creative power and majesty.

  • Earth as a Mosque: The earth is considered a place of worship, where we observe and care for Allah’s creation.

• Why We Should Appreciate the Environment:

  • Humans as Khalifah: We are entrusted as stewards of the earth, responsible for its care.

  • Practicing Tawhid: Appreciating nature helps us understand the oneness of Allah, as everything in nature reflects His power.

  • Utilizing Resources Responsibly: We should make use of natural resources in a way that is beneficial and sustainable for future generations.

    
    

  Appreciating the environment is a key responsibility in Islam, as it connects us to Allah's greatness. The earth provides life and resources, and as khalifah (stewards), we must use them wisely and sustainably. Allah has made the earth easy to benefit from, encouraging us to explore and enjoy its blessings. As stated in Surah Al-Mulk (67:15), "It is He who has made the earth subservient to you. So traverse in its tracks and partake of the sustenance He has provided. To Him you will all return." We are accountable for how we treat the environment and its resources.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

Definition:

• To obey means to willingly follow Allah’s commands and stay away from what He has prohibited — not out of force, but out of love, trust, and devotion.

• A sincere believer follows Allah SWT, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and the rightful leaders (Ulil Amri) — as long as their instructions remain within the boundaries of Islam.

• True obedience isn’t just about actions — it’s about aligning the heart, mind, and behavior with the will of Allah.

Why Do We Attend Usrah? — Renew Your Intention:

• Before joining any gathering like usrah, pause and ask yourself: Why am I really here?

• Our intention (niyyah) should be pure — to seek knowledge, grow spiritually, and build a stronger connection with Allah SWT.

• Coming for the sake of popularity, companionship, or just to “fill time” may rob the session of its blessings.

• But with the right niyyah, even a short usrah becomes a means of ibadah, and every word you absorb turns into reward.

• 
  

What Is Ibadah (Worship) in Its True Essence?

• Ibadah goes far beyond rituals like salah or fasting — it’s a lifestyle of submission to Allah, where every act is done with sincerity and purpose.

• Helping a friend, doing your best in assignments, managing your emotions, or even resting with the intention to regain strength to worship — all these can be acts of ibadah if done for Allah’s sake.

• It’s a holistic connection — ibadah integrates the spiritual, physical, emotional, and social aspects of our life, turning the mundane into meaningful.

Qur'anic Guidance on Worship:

Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 183:

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

Evidence from the Qur'an (continued):

• Surah An-Nisa, verse 59 – “O you who believe! Obey Allah, obey the Messenger, and those in authority among you...”

Hadith Evidence:

• “Whatever I forbid you, avoid it. Whatever I command, do it as much as you can...” (Bukhari & Muslim)

Surah An-Nisa, verse 80 & 69:

• Obeying the Prophet is equal to obeying Allah.

• Those who obey will be with the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous in Paradise.

• If a person has the means to perform Hajj but neglects it and passes away, it becomes an obligation for someone else to perform Hajj on their behalf.

• However, if a person is not capable and dies, then there is no duty for others to perform Hajj for them.

🕋 Hajj Guidelines (Before and During Hajj):

• No sexual relations

• Refrain from sinful behavior (fusuq)

• Avoid arguments and slander

💧 Taharah (Purity and Cleanliness)

Islam emphasizes purity — including cleanliness (taharah), tidiness (wada’ah), and overall goodness (hasan).

Make ablution (wudu) with the enthusiasm of the young, and offer prayer with the mindfulness of the elderly.

The four essential parts of wudu are:

• Washing the face

• Washing the arms up to the elbows

• Wiping over the head

• Washing the feet

1. Islam

2. Sanity (ʿAql)

3. Age of Understanding (Tamyeez)

4. Purity from Hadath (wudu/ghusl)

5. Free from Najasah (filth)

6. Covering the ʿAwrah

7. Facing the Qiblah

8. Prayer time has entered

9. Intention (Niyyah)

🧍‍♂️ 13 Pillars of Solat (Arkan al-Ṣalāh):
These are the core elements within the prayer itself — if any pillar is left out, the prayer is not valid.

They involve:

• Standing (for those able)

• Opening takbir (Takbiratul Ihram)

• Reciting al-Fatihah

• Bowing (Rukūʿ)

• Rising from bowing

• Standing after rukūʿ

• Prostration (Sujūd) – twice per rakaʿat

• Sitting between the two sujūd

• Calmness in every position (Tuma’ninah)

• Final sitting (Tashahhud Akhir)

• Reciting final Tashahhud

• Salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ

• Ending with Salam

It begins with standing and ends with the final salam — each step has its spiritual weight.

Jama’: Combining two prayers — like Zuhr with Asr, or Maghrib with Isha — done either at the earlier (taqdim) or later (ta’khir) time.

These are allowed while travelling, under specific guidelines in Shariah — a gift from Allah to ease hardship.

• Rawatib: Regular sunnah prayers linked to the 5 daily obligatory prayers — ideally 12 rakaat daily.

  👉 Special highlight: 2 rakaat before Subh — the Prophet ﷺ said it’s better than the whole world and everything in it!

• Other beautiful sunnah prayers include:
  🕊 Solat al-Ishraq (after sunrise)
  ✨ Solat al-Tasbih (full of dhikr and forgiveness)
  🕯 Solat Dhuha (for barakah in your rizq)

• Avoid praying at makruh times:
  ✖️ After Asr until Maghrib
  ✖️ At sunrise
  ✖️ At the zenith (when the sun is at its peak)

⚠️ Solat in Difficult Situations

• Illness: Solat is still compulsory — even if you have to pray while sitting, lying down, with just eye movements, or through intention in your heart.

• Wartime or Danger: Even in the most intense situations, solat is never waived. Islam values the connection with Allah above all.

🔤 Definition

• Linguistic: Exerting full effort with sincerity and determination.

• Shariah: Channeling energy and sacrifice in the path of Islam to gain Allah’s pleasure.

📖 Qur’anic Reference :

"Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in ranks as though they are a single structure joined firmly."
— Surah As-Saff (61:4)

🧠 Views of Scholars :

• Imam Al-Ghazali: Jihad includes both internal (against the self) and external (defending the deen) efforts.

• Imam Ibn Taymiyyah: It’s a comprehensive struggle involving action, intention, and sincerity for the sake of Allah.

• Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi: Jihad adapts to context — sometimes with weapons, sometimes through knowledge, media, and economy.

🎯 Objectives of Jihad:

• To end oppression and injustice (fitnah).

• To ensure that religion belongs solely to Allah.

• To restore peace and allow people to practice faith freely.

• To protect the weak and uphold divine justice.

"Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah and [until] the religion is [acknowledged to be] for Allah. But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors."
— Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:193

🛠️ Types of Jihad (Expanded) :

1. Jihad al-Nafs – Struggle against one's ego/desires

2. Jihad bil-Lisan – Through speech, advice, and da’wah

3. Jihad bil-‘Ilm – Spreading knowledge and truth

4. Jihad bil-Mal – Financial contribution in Allah’s cause

5. Jihad al-Qital – Physical defense in legitimate warfare

6. Jihad al-Siyasi – Political reform to uphold Islamic values

⚖️ Ruling (Hukm) of Jihad

• Fard ‘Ain (individual duty): When Islam is under direct threat.

• Fard Kifayah (communal duty): When performed by some, the rest are relieved — like defending the Ummah’s interests globally.

• Scholars rank jihad as one of the noble acts of ibadah, alongside solat, fasting, and zakat.

• Evaluating one’s actions, words, and intentions.

• To ensure they align with Islamic teachings.

• Continue & improve good deeds; repent and fix wrongdoings.

Qur’anic References:

• Surah Al-Hasr, 59:18 – “O you who believe! Fear Allah and let every soul look at what it has sent forth for tomorrow…”

• Surah Al-Haqqah, 69:18 – “Nothing will be hidden from Allah.”

• Surah Al-Qiyamah, 75:14 – “Man will be a witness against himself…”

Purpose of Muhasabah:

• To prepare for the Day of Judgement.

• Ensure our life is in line with Shariah.

• Improve faith, character, and actions.

• Boost taqwa (God-consciousness) and responsibility.

Key Questions to Ask Yourself:

• Am I obeying Allah in all aspects of life?

• Have I fulfilled the rights of Allah and others?

• Am I following the Prophet ﷺ sincerely?

• Do I avoid immoral actions?

• Am I ready to meet Allah at any time?

6 Simple Steps to Reflect:

1. ✅ Check Obligations

   • Fix what’s missing or lacking in wajib acts.

   • Repent and improve.

2. 🚫 Identify Sins

   • Stop repeating wrongdoings.

   • Make sincere taubah.

3. ⌛ Review Time Usage

   • Avoid wasting time.

   • Shift towards beneficial, rewardable activities.

4. 🧠 Reflect on Inner Self

5. ❗ Avoid Arrogance or Despair

   • Don’t feel too holy to repent.

   • Don’t give up due to past sins.

6. 🌷 Stay Motivated to Change

   • Be around people who remind you of Allah.

   • Attend knowledge circles, avoid heedless environments.

Final Reminder:

• Muhasabah brings us closer to Allah.

• Helps us prepare for accountability in the Hereafter.

• Start now — don’t delay, because tomorrow might be too late.

🟣 What is a Good Niyyah?

• A sincere and conscious intention to do something solely for the sake of Allah (SWT).

• Transforms everyday deeds into acts of worship.

• Foundation of every action in Islam.

🟣 Hadith Reference:

“Actions are according to intentions, and everyone will get what was intended...”
(Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)

🩷 4 Benefits of Good Niyyah:

1. 🎁 Multiplies Rewards

   • You get rewarded even if you couldn’t carry out the deed due to valid reasons.

2. 🎯 Keeps You Focused & Motivated

   • Gives clear purpose and keeps you sincere in your actions.

3. 🛡️ Protects from Riya' (Showing Off)

   • Reminds you to seek Allah’s pleasure, not people’s praise.

4. 🌸 Brings Barakah (Blessings)

   • A sincere heart brings blessings into your work and life.

🧺 Good Deed Example:

• Donation – Even simple charity becomes worship with pure niyyah.

Throughout this Usrah 2 journey, I’ve learned so much beyond just knowledge — it reminded me of the importance of sincerity, community, and personal growth as a Muslim. Every session felt like a gentle reminder to realign my life with Islamic values. I realise that Islam is not just about rituals, but about how we carry ourselves every day — through kindness, intentions, effort, and consistency.

✨ My Hope

I hope that this Usrah continues to shape me into a better version of myself — spiritually, emotionally, and socially. I wish to build stronger bonds with my peers, strengthen my iman, and stay grounded in my faith even when life gets overwhelming. I also hope that everything I’ve learned here can be applied in real life, not just remembered as notes or slides.

🤲 My Prayer

Ya Allah, thank You for the opportunity to learn, reflect, and grow through this Usrah. Strengthen our hearts in faith, purify our actions, and guide us to always choose what pleases You. Bless our group, our facilitators, and everyone who seeks knowledge for Your sake. Make us among those who walk the talk, and not just learn — but live by it. Ameen ya Rabb 🤍

اللهم اجعلني من عبادك الصالحين، واغفر لي ذنوبي، ووفقني لما تحب وترضى.
“O Allah, make me among Your righteous servants, forgive my sins, and guide me to what You love and are pleased with.”

• Sabr = Patience or perseverance in facing difficulties.

• Two main types:

  1. Patience in obeying Allah’s commands & avoiding sins → Hardest and most valuable.

  2. Patience in accepting Allah’s fate → Belief that everything has wisdom.

     
     

🧱 Three Levels of Sabr:

1. Patience in worship (ibadah):

   • Staying consistent with worship, doing it with full heart and proper manners.

   • This is the highest level of sabr.

2. Patience in avoiding sins (ma’siah):

   • When your desire pulls you to sin, but you hold back for the sake of Allah.

3. Patience in accepting fate (qadar):

   • Trust that every hardship is a test to raise your status or forgive your sins.

🕌 Quranic Evidence:

1. Surah Al-Baqarah (2:153):

“O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.”
(يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ)

2. Surah As-Sajdah (32:24):

“And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and [when] they were certain of Our signs.”
(وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا لَمَّا صَبَرُوا وَكَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يُوقِنُونَ)

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Patience is a core value in worship and life.

• Allah praises the patient in the Qur’an over 90 times.

• Real strength lies in sabr, not reaction.

• Even prophets were tested severely, but stayed patient with firm belief in Allah’s wisdom.

• Your reward for sabr may not be immediate — but it’s guaranteed in the Hereafter.

• Takrim = Showing respect, honour, and good manners to others.

• It reflects a positive attitude and the Adab (etiquette) that Islam emphasizes.

• Islam encourages respect to everyone regardless of race, religion, or age.

🌟 Why is Respect Important in Islam?

1. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as Mercy

"And We have not sent you [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds."
(Surah Al-Anbiya 21:107)

2. He ﷺ was kind and respectful to:

   • Friends, family, strangers

   • Non-Muslims

   • Children, women, and elders

🕊️ Good Manners (Adab) in Practice:

• Reviving broken relationships

• Stopping fights or arguments

• Respecting all people: parents, spouse, neighbours, elders, children, non-Muslims

• Speaking kindly, not criticising food, being tolerant

📖 Hadith:

“Nothing is heavier on the scale of deeds than good manners.”
(Sahih Bukhari)

“The most beloved of Allah’s servants to Him are those with the best manners.”
(Al-Bukhari)

🌸 Respecting Women in Islam:

• Islam granted rights and honour to women.

• Surah An-Nisa is named after women.

• Women must never be disrespected — it is a commandment from Allah.

👶 Respecting Children:

• Prophet ﷺ was gentle, playful, and loving to children.

• He fed them, played with them, and never looked down on them.

📖 Hadith:

“Whoever is not kind to the young or does not respect the elders is not from my nation.”
(Bihar al-Anwar, v.72, p.137)

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Respect is not optional — it's part of our iman (faith).

• Having good manners keeps us away from sin and brings us closer to Allah.

• Ask yourself daily: “Am I being the best version of myself today?”

• Our goal is to reflect the character of the Prophet ﷺ — the most perfect human.

• Rahmah = Mercy, kindness, compassion, and care.

• It is a core value in Islam and part of the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ mission.

📖 Quran (Surah Al-Anbiya 21:107):

“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.”

🌍 The Birth of the Prophet ﷺ

• His birth brought mercy to all of mankind.

• Commemorating his birth is a way to revive his teachings of love, peace, and mercy.

🕊️ Negara Rahmah, Ummah Sejahtera

• Means: A merciful country, a prosperous and peaceful society.

• The idea is to create a nation where everyone lives in harmony, with justice and kindness.

❤️ Rahmah = Love + Care

Imam Ibn al-Jawzi said:
"Rahmah also means loving and caring."

• Without love and care:

  • Society becomes selfish, violent, and miserable.

  • People only care for survival and money.

👫 Islam Encourages Brotherhood

• Islam teaches us to:

  • Be kind

  • Build strong friendships

  • Support one another in good and righteousness

📖 Quran (Surah Al-Maidah 5:2):

“Help one another in acts of piety and righteousness, and do not assist in sin and aggression.”

💼 Applying Rahmah in Daily Systems

Rahmah should not stay as just a theory. It must be applied in real life:

💊 Healthcare : Treat all patients with dignity and care

💰 Economy : Fair wealth distribution, support for the poor

♻️ Environment : Protecting nature is an act of mercy

🏫 Education : Ensure equal access and kind treatment.

❓Questions to Reflect On:

• Can mercy killing be considered rahmah?

• How can we create a rahmah-based economy?

• Is our current system rahmatan lil alamin (mercy to all)?

• Does green technology include rahmah values?

🌱 Rahmah for All Creation

• Rahmah should be extended to:

  • Humans

  • Animals

  • Plants

  • Environment

🌸 Final Message:

• Practising rahmah is a form of dakwah.

• It reflects the true spirit of Islam: love, mercy, and care for all.

• Let's implement rahmah in daily life, not just understand it 💖

— Ibn al-Athir & Ibnu Rajab 📚

📖 Quran (Surah At-Talaq 65:3):
"And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him."

🌟 True Tawakkul Explained:
Allah will make things enough and open ways through all creation for those who trust Him.
— Ibn Qayyim

🐦 Effort + Reliance:
The Prophet ﷺ said:
"If you truly rely on Allah, He will provide for you like birds — they leave hungry and return full."
Tawakkul means putting in effort (like birds searching for food) and then trusting Allah for the results. 💪✨

🛡️ Example from Prophet ﷺ:
He told a man,
"Tie your camel first, then rely on Allah."
Meaning: Effort first, then trust.

💡 What Tawakkul Is NOT:
It’s NOT laziness or sitting idle. True reliance involves effort, planning, praying, and patience.

🙏 Final Thought:
Tawakkul = hard work + faith + patience + acceptance of Allah’s plan.

May Allah bless us with true tawakkul! Ameen. 💖
