🕌Usrah 2 (1st week) : Unlocking the Blessings of Ramadhan

Assalamualaikum and Hi everyone! 🌙

The first class  in Usrah, we explored a beautiful topic , “Unlocking the Blessings of Ramadan.” Our instructor shared a short video, and from there, I jotted down a few key takeaways that really made me reflect. Ramadan is not just about fasting, it’s about resetting our hearts and reconnecting with Allah.

🌟 Key Reflections:

🔹 A Month of Forgiveness

Letting go of grudges is not just for others, it benefits us. If we forgive those who wrong us, Allah will forgive our sins. Mercy begins with us.

🔹 The Month of the Qur’an

Ramadan is when the Qur’an was revealed. It’s the perfect time to build a stronger connection with it, even if we start with small steps.

🔹 Discipline & Dedication

Fasting teaches discipline. The month is full of chances to train ourselves, through extra acts of worship, controlling our desires, and being more conscious of our actions.

🔹 Rewards Multiplied

Every small good deed is multiplied. That means even helping someone, smiling, or giving a little charity counts so much more this month.

🔹 Generosity, Not Just Giving

Ramadan reminds us to give from the heart, not just money, but time, help, and kindness.


🧠 A Strong Reminder:

“Even if someone owns a good car, house, and wealth, if they don’t prepare for the hereafter, they’re still a loser.”

This line really stuck with me. We often focus so much on dunya, but Ramadan is a wake-up call to prepare for akhirah.


💭 What is Taqwa?

Taqwa isn’t just about how we dress or what we say. It’s about being truly conscious of Allah, following His rules, and staying away from what He dislikes. If we spend Ramadan well, we can build this taqwa in our hearts.


💫 Final Reflection:

Ramadan is a gift. It’s a chance to return to Allah, fix our habits, and realign our purpose. May we all make the most of it and grow closer to Allah, step by step.


Wassalam, Thank you!! 🤍

👳Usrah 2 (3rd week) : Preparation for Salah with Khushu' - our group presentation

Image
  Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh 🌿 In Week 3 of our Usrah class, it was finally my group’s turn to present. The topic we were given was something deeply important in every Muslim’s life: “Preparation for Salah with Khushu‘.” At first, it seemed like a common topic, but as we explored it, we discovered so many deep reminders that touched our hearts. 📚 What We Shared in the Presentation Our presentation was based on four main areas: 1. Ṭahārah (Purification): Wudhu’ and Tayammum We began by explaining the importance of purity before Salah. Without wudhu’ or tayammum (when water isn’t available), our prayer isn’t valid. It reminded us how Islam values cleanliness not just physically, but also spiritually, as we stand before Allah in prayer. 2. Conditions for the Acceptance (Ṣaḥīḥ) of Salah We discussed the basic conditions that must be fulfilled for a prayer to be valid, such as: • Covering the ‘awrah • Facing the qiblah • Praying within the proper time ...

💗Usrah 2 (2nd week) : Intention Only for Allah

Assalamualaikum Everyone! 🌸 Welcome to my Week 2 Usrah reflection. This week, we explored a topic that is simple in words but deep in meaning  “Intention Only for Allah.”  We were reminded about the real reason behind our actions as Muslims. 🎥 About the Talk: The video by Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan discussed how every act of worship, every good deed, every small effort, even a smile, should be done sincerely for the sake of Allah. It’s easy to forget this in our daily routines, especially when we want others to recognize our efforts or praise us for doing something good. But Allah sees our hearts, and He knows what no one else does. 🌟 Key Lessons I Gained: 1. Purifying Our Intentions Ustadh Nouman reminded us that sometimes we might do the right things, but for the wrong reasons. We may want attention, respect, or admiration, but none of these are the reasons Allah accepts deeds. What matters most is ikhlas (sincerity). Our goal should be to earn Allah’s pleasure, not people’...
