 Assalamualaikum, greetings to all. The last group work for the usrah course is to make an infographic poster of the chosen topic. As per the title, my group had chosen the topic of 'Benefits of having good niyyah'.

BENEFITS OF HAVING GOOD NIYYAH
  1. As the anchor of every action and deed 
  2. Good inspiration for future generation
  3. Get reward from Allah SWT
  4. Having any sincerity in any deed
  5. Good intention makes the habit 

Since the first point is mine, I would like to explain it a little further. 

Based on the collection of 40 Hadith Shah Waliullah, the 33rd Hadith stated that,

 'Actions are through intention'. 

All of our actions, be it a daily habits or something new, all of it comes from our intention or niyyah. Let's say, if a person have absolutely no intention in getting up to perform his fajr prayer, he will not do so. However, if a person have the willingness to perform the fajr prayer and he intend to wake up, he will.

These intentions or niyyah to do something, be it good or bad, will be the anchor for the actions and deeds. Having a good intention will be the guide for him to plan his actions and deeds so that he can realize his intention. However, while executing his actions to realize his intention, he may will stray away from the good deeds and actions. As his initial intention is to do something good, Allah SWT may help him to come back to his sense so that he can correct his actions. 

In a hadith narrated by Umar Al-Khattab, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said,

"The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever has emigrated for Allah and His Apostle, then his emigration was for Allah and His Apostle. And whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, then his emigration was for what he emigrated for." -Sahih Bukhari

Hence, all of our actions and deeds, it is all came from our intention. If bad is what we intend for, then bad it will be and if good is what we intend for, then good it will be.

During the time I spent in this course, I personally feels like I have learnt so much more. Even though the topics discussed were something that I am familiar of, there are still new knowledge to gain. As the part of the assessment require us to work in group, I realize the importance of leadership and group work. In group, all workload and burden should be shared, so communication is the important part of it. 

I also realize that I have to plan ahead. During my group presentation, I have a connection problem so the presentation is a little confusing on my part as what I explain and what the slide showed is different. That might affect the audience's focus and understanding. And for that, I am so sorry.




I truly enjoys my time in this course. I personally really love how my naqibah, Sister Ain summed up all of our presentation. And sometimes gives additional information for us to study on. I also loves how Sister Ain asked us to conduct an activity after the presentation. Even though there was a very little options on how and what we are going to do because of the online class, I think it was all fun. 




Lastly, I wanted to say thank you to my groupmates; Aimie, Raihan, Yasmin and Aini for being amazing and responsible. I loves working with them as they are all easy to communicate with and also very understanding. I also wanted to thank Sister Ain for being a great and amazing instructor. Thank you so much. I hope we can all meet one day. Stay safe everyone~
