WEEK 3 : PILLARS OF IMAN

 Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. 

Our usrah session today started with a recitation of Surah An-Nisa' verse 135-147. First and foremost, An-Nisa' itself brings the meaning as one of the best creatures, 'The Women'. This chapter contains 176 verses altogether and mostly talks about things related to women compared to other chapters. But today, our Naqibah made a decision to talk about something that is not even related to us, woman, but a topic that caught my attention to know more about it. Guess what? We learnt like A LOT today about the Pillars of Iman which is to be considered, we rarely had a deep conversation and discussion about it.

First of all, there are SIX pillars of Iman:

1) Belief in Allah

2) Belief in Malaikah (The Angels)

3) Belief in Kutub (The Books)

4) Belief in Rasul and Anbiya' (The Messengers and The Prophets)

5) Belief in Qiyamah (The Resurrection Day)

6) Belief in Qadha' and Qadar

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Belief in Allah

- It’s the first and most important pillar. To believe in Allah is to believe that there is only one God worthy of worship, with no partner, or son. This concept is known as Tawheed. Also, it is to completely believe in the way he is described in the Quran, Sunnah and in his 99 names.

2) Belief in Malaikah (The Angels)

- The second pillar is to believe in Allah’s angels. They are not his children as some may think. They were created from light and were created before humans for the purpose of worshipping Allah. Angels do not sleep, eat or suffer from illnesses. It is crucial to believe in the angels, as they keep a record of our deeds. Some of the other duties of angles include: blowing the trumpet on judgment day, taking people’s souls (i.e. angel of death) and to be the keepers of heaven and hell.

3) Belief in Kutub (The Books)

- The third pillar is to believe in the books of Allah which delivered to the nations by the messengers. Allah revealed books to his messengers as a form of guidance and proof for mankind. Among these books, is the Quran, which was revealed to Prophet Muhammad. Allah has guaranteed the protection of the Quran from any distortion or corruption and clearly mentioned that in the Holy Qur’an.

WEEK 5 : THE VIRTUES FOUND IN SAWM (FASTING)

Image
 Assalamualaikum wbt. We discussed about a topic that is related to fasting (sawm). We got to have the chance to identify what are some types of wisdom in fasting.  1) While fasting, we could practice and train ourselves to be more patient to what is coming towards us. It is a natural way when a Muslim becomes more patient when practicing fasting in their life. 2) Besides, we could develop an attitude of respect to people around us. In this case, we could become a kind-hearted Muslim whom Allah loves whoever that do good to others.  3) Last but not least, we shall be getting mercy when practicing fasting in our life. Then, we continued our session with my group's presentation. (Group 4) While working on this poster with my friends, I could feel better and free in expressing what I thought about this. They taught me well and helped me when I literally had no idea to give them contents as the source of this poster. Despite of busy and hectic weeks, we managed to find our ti...

WEEK 4 : PILLARS OF IMAN

1)   Belief in Rasul and Anbiya' (The Messengers and The Prophets) - The fourth pillar is to   believe in all prophets and messengers sent by Allah   and that the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the last of them.  Most of the messengers of Allah were sent to a specific nation except Prophet Muhammad, who was sent to guide all of mankind. It is a duty of Muslims to send salaams (Peace and Blessings of Allah) when mentioning the names of any of the Prophets. 2)  Belief in Qiyamah (The Resurrection Day) - Allah has set a certain period for the whole universe , whose end will be the final hour. During the final hour, humans will be questioned about their deeds in this world. Those deeds will be weighed for them. One whose good deeds overweigh his evil deeds will prosper, while whose bad deeds outweigh his good ones will be condemned to hellfire – unless he died in the state of Islam. Then, Allah would either forgive him or punish him, and eventual...

WEEK 7 : THE VIRTUES FOUND IN HAJJ / UMRAH

Image
 Assalamualaikum and hi! So as everyone knows, today would be our very last session for usrah in our foundation year. It is kinda sad but yet Allah's plans are definitely better than ours :)  This is gonna be the last sharing from our honourable Naqibah, Sister Izzah Firzanah. Hence, let's get started!  Basically, the word 'Hajj' means heading an honourable person or place. However, 'Hajj' legally means worshipping Allah by performing the Hajj rituals which are defined  as specific acts performed at a specific time and place in a specific way.  Hajj is the Fifth Pillar of Islam. It is believer that it is one of the best actions of worship.  Hajj could make us Muslims, purified from sins and could also give us no reward but Jannah.  While Umrah, it linguistically means to visit and juridically, umrah means a way of worshipping Allah by making Tawaf of the Kaabah and Saie between Mount Safa and Marwa and shaving or cutting hair.  The act of Umrah is...
