Actually, the manners with parents can be explained in many different ways. But I chose this point because it is the most basic and practical example of adab in our daily life. Before we go deeper into adab with teachers, friends, or society, we must first understand the importance of adab with parents as they are the closest to us and their rights are among the greatest after Allah. This gives us a strong foundation to appreciate and practice other types of adab.

1. Islam (Outward Practices):

   • Shahadah (testimony of faith)

   • Salah (prayer)

   • Sawm (fasting in Ramadan)

   • Zakah (almsgiving)

   • Hajj (pilgrimage if able)

2. Iman (Faith):

   • Belief in Allah

   • Belief in His angels

   • Belief in His books

   • Belief in His messengers

   • Belief in the Last Day

   • Belief in divine decree (qadar), both good and bad

3. Ihsan (Excellence):

   • To worship Allah as if you see Him; if you cannot, know that He sees you.

4. The Hour (Qiyamah):

   • The Prophet ﷺ was asked about the signs of the Last Day, such as servants giving birth to their masters, and people competing in building tall buildings.

After Jibril left, the Prophet ﷺ told the companions:

“That was Jibril who came to teach you your religion.”

🌿 Key Lessons

I hope that this usrah will continue to be a safe and meaningful space for us to remind one another, improve ourselves, and grow closer to Allah. May the sisterhood we build remain sincere, supportive, and help us stay consistent in doing good even outside of usrah.

REFLECTION :

Usrah has been a space for me to evaluate myself, improve my weaknesses, and strengthen my relationship with Allah. Through sharing and reminders with others, I realize that everyone is on their own journey of growth. Usrah motivates me to stay consistent, support one another through prayers, and continue striving to become a better person.
