Usrah 2: CCUB 1062 Section 202

 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. It was very reasonable as we have to be in the Usrah for 2 hours from 8 to 10pm. Imagine being home late, and super tired, straight to the bed... we might have missed the prayer! May Allah bless our Naqibah always for being so thoughtful.  The Naqibah also stated that adding the prayer time is aligned with the course as we would focus on the ibadah , and yup, for sure, the most important ibadah would be prayers, as it is also the first thing to be asked in the hereafter....

 This is the first ever meeting for all of us! As the first week was conducted online, after Eid, this was the first week of meeting each members of the Usrah , so the Usrah started with ice-breaking session, each one of the members got to pick one person and guess their name, course, and hometown. Then, the person will introduce themself again. After that, the Naqibah gave us time to form a group, and each group should have about 5 to 6 members. 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...

The virtues found in Sawm (Fasting) The points shared from the presentation After the presentation, the instructor shared with us about Taqwa . She shared a YouTube video for us to watch and also asked us to read about Taqwa from a website (link shared below). Each group was given a topic to read and a representative from the groups needs to share what we got from the website regarding Taqwa based on the part or topic that we got. What exactly is Taqwa ? - Mufti Menk The website:  https://www.aljumuah.com/taqwa-god-consciousness-part-1/ After the class, the instructor gave us a task, and that is to watch another YouTube video and do: - Sit with your group members - Bring out paper - Listen to this lecture and do 10 timestamp - After write down information you got for 10 timestamp, discuss with your group members on each other content This is supposed to be done by the next week of Usrah .

 Two presentations in a day! For week 6, the Naqibah asked the two remaining groups to present on the same day, that is to finish all the presentations that needed to be done. The first presentations: The virtues found in Zakah/Sadaqah The points shared during the presentation The instructor also shared another information or new knowledge ('ilm) for the topic: The second presentation: The virtues found in Hajj/'Umrah The points shared during the presentation On that week, the instructor shared a video from Facebook.

  The last week of Usrah 2 From the Word Search given last week, the instructor asked each group to choose 4 words from the riddle to talk about. Each group has to talk about the words chosen, like a mini presentation. After the presentation, we need to say a tagline for Eid Adha , since the time for Eid Adha was approaching. Each group was given 'ratings' too after we have completed the 'mission'. Through sacrifice, we grow. Through faith, we unite. Happy Eid al-Adha!
