Chapter 1: Explanation of ISLAM, IMAN and IHSAN

THE HADEETH OF JIBRIL

NAME:
PART ONE: ISLAM Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

One day while we were sitting with the Prophet Muhammad (sallahu alayhi wasalm), there came a man whose clothes was very white, whose hair was very black and no-one knew who he was.

He walked up and sat down by the Prophet (sallahlahu alayhi wasalm) putting his knees against his and placing the palms of his hands on his thighs and then the man said: O Muhammad tell me about ISLAM .

There are FIVE PILLARS of ISLAM:

THE FIRST PILLAR IS: SHAHAADAH

To say: ASH-HADU AN LA ILAHA ILLALLAHU, WA ASH-HADU ANNA MUHAMMADAN RASULULLLAH To believe that there is no god worthy of worship except ALLAH and that Muhammad (sallahlahu alayhi wasalm) is the MESSENGER OF ALLAH.

THE THIRD PILLAR IS: ZAKAH

To give money to those who are in need and al-Miskeen who are the poor people. They are people who DO NOT HAVE; food, drink, a home or a bed to sleep on. So, as Muslims we should help one another and give charity, so we can please ALLAH. When you help people, ALLAH is very happy and pleased, and you are becoming a better person, but we must do it to please ALLAH ALONE and NO-ONE ELSE! If you help the poor, ALLAH will HELP YOU

GROUP DISCUSSION: Question 1: What does being GRATEFUL mean? Question 2: How do we show Allah that as Muslims we are THANKFUL? Question 3: What are the different ways of giving CHARITY? Question 4: What changes are we going to make to show that we are GOOD Muslims?

In describing the good people, Allah says in the Quran:

"They give food, out of love for Him (Allah), to the poor, the orphan, and the slave, saying: We feed you only for Allah's pleasure - we desire from you neither reward nor thanks." (SURAH AL-INSAN 76:8-9)

'Who is he that will loan to Allah a beautiful loan which Allah will double unto his credit and multiply it many times?' (SURAH AL-BAQARAH 2: 245).

TASK TWO: 1. Colour each picture that shows something that WE NEED that Allah gives us.

THE FIRST PILLAR IS: TO BELIEVE IN ALLAH

Allah is our creator, provider and cherisher ALLAH is the Lord that we Worship and him alone we ask for HELP. ALLAH is the Most Merciful and Most Kind. ALLAH is Lord of the Heavens and Earth. We ask ALLAH to guide us to the Straight path and to give us and our families JANNAH and to save us from JAHANNAM, or the hell fire.

Angels KIRAMAN and KATIBEEN are the angels on the right and left shoulder, the angel on the right, writes down all the good things that you say and the angel on the left writes down all the bad things that you say. That is why it is so important we say good things all the time and praise ALLAH.

NUH IBRAHIM IESA MUSA ZAKARIYYAH YAQOOB DAWUD SULEIMAN

Muhammad (sallalahu alayhi wasalm) was sent to the whole of Mankind and we follow him, as an example. Everything he does, we should copy and everything he said to stay away from, then we obey him and stay away from those things.

If you have done good deeds, you shall see it and if you have done bad deeds, you shall see it and NOTHING is hidden from Allah.
