Benefits of Having Good Niyyah

August 24, 2021

 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'.


 designed with canva.com


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~

 Assalamualaikum, greetings to all. In this post, I will be sharing my thoughts on completing this course, CCUB1061 - Usrah Budi I. 


First of all, this course had teach me to be confidence. During our first class, our naqibah told us introduced ourselves and to turn on our camera, given the situation of online class. I actually don't really like to turn of my camera because I feels weird and I definitely doesn't like to speak in front of people. But, for this class, I gather my courage and did what I was told. After that, I realized that turning on the camera wasn't really weird and speaking in front of people wasn't that bad. Well, it may be because I don't literally stand in front of people but it went well anyway.

Because of our current pandemic situation, we were forced into a new norm. As I said earlier, we were now forced to attend our classes virtually. I usually have no problem with my internet connection on a good day, or in the morning especially but there was one day when it caused me a headache. Then, I realized,  not everything will work they way we wanted it. And with this challenge, it makes me to be more patient and keep trying. When I keep trying to connect to the platform, I will eventually get in and attend the class normally, even though it was just few minutes before my naqibah ends our class.

I also learnt that I shouldn't procrastinate. During one of class, our naqibah give us fifteen minutes to collect information on a given topic and present it in front of the class. It seems like a fifteen minutes break is a long time but it wasn't. As we are to present in group or have the group representative to present our finding, I need to communicate with my groupmate. This indirectly, improve my social skills.

My biggest wish at this moment is for this pandemic to settle down so that we can resume our live a little easier. I am not sure of other people but I am having a hard time adjusting to live in the new norm. I am glad that I am able to go through my first semester (semester I 2020/2021) with minimal issues. 

This current semester is pretty challenging for me. From the subjects that I took to the people I have to works with to the technical issues I came across to join classes, it definitely pressing me down. I am hoping that I can, once again, go through this online semester just fine. Well, if I can do it once, I can do it twice, right?

I wanted to say thank you to, firstly my naqibah, Sr. Hanifah(I hope I spell your name right), for guiding us throughout the classes and shares with us your knowledge. I also wanted to say thank you to my fellow groupmate, Raihan, Aina, Safiah and Aina for being amazing and cooperative and great while we are completing the tasks. I hope we can stay connected even though we are no longer share the same class. That's all from me, thank you so much!

April 10, 2021

 Assalamualaikum, greetings to all. For task one, we are given the topic of Hikmah of Appreciating the Nature. My group decided to make a poster because it is easier for us.


As you can see from the poster, we divided the hikmah into three parts; (i) Spiritually, which we discussed the benefit of appreciating nature in regards to our relationship with Allah, (ii) For the future generation, and lastly, to our own (iii) Health. We also shared some trivia about the nature in our poster.

Through this platform, I would like to say thank you to my groupmate for being cooperative and make it possible for us to finish editing this poster and submit it on time. Thank you!
