On the first week of Usrah , the Naqibah introduced the course outline for the Usrah , including what we have to do to pass the course. It was the first meeting, so the Usrah was just about the course itself, nothing much, but at least it is a good start! It was during the Ramadhan period, and right before Eid Holiday. Most of us were already home, so the Usrah was held online. The best thing about this Usrah was that the instructor included Isha' prayer time for about 10-15 minutes.

I was not really familiar with others as I joined the Usrah alone, not knowing others that mush, so I just got into a group of new faces. I didn't know any of them! Then, after we got into our groups, the instructor gave us the topics that we prepare to do the presentation. My group was chosen to be the first group to do the presentation. Our topic was about 'Preparation of Salah with Khushu' .' The presentation started on the week 3, right on the next week! For this week, we watched the video about our intention, 'niah...
