This document summarizes a lesson on Ihsan (consciousness of Allah) given by Ustaz Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail. The lesson defines Ihsan as cultivating a mindful awareness of Allah's constant presence through correct belief, deeds, and intentions in all actions.

Without Ihsan, outward worship may be performed without proper consciousness of Allah. The lesson stresses that only Allah can truly judge a person's intentions.

This document provides testimonials from previous participants of Ustaz Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail's "Beginners' Course on Islam - Fardhu 'Ain in English". The participants praise the course for providing a deeper and more critical understanding of Islamic principles and their relevance to modern life. They appreciate the logical and evidence-based approach taken by Ustaz Zhulkeflee in explaining Islamic concepts. Many participants felt that the course transformed their practice and strengthened their faith.
This document provides an overview of a beginner's course on Islam taught in Singapore. It covers lessons on fundamental Islamic practices (Fardhu 'Ain) in English for adults and others. The course uses a textbook and curriculum developed for Muslim converts and young English-speaking Muslims. It is taught over 20 weekly Friday night classes starting in January 2015. The document includes details on the location and registration information for the course. It also contains slides from Lesson 1B that define key Islamic terms like Islam, Muslim, Allah and discuss Islamic beliefs based on references from the Quran and Bible about prophets like Abraham, Ishmael and the origins of the Kaaba.
The document discusses traditional Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) reference books and how to use them properly. It emphasizes that one should not attempt to study fiqh from texts alone without guidance from a qualified Islamic scholar. It provides a brief overview of some commonly used classical fiqh texts in Southeast Asia, translated into English and Malay. However, the list of books is not exhaustive and is based on the author's limited exposure. The document stresses the importance of seeking knowledge from teachers in addition to studying texts.
This document is a lesson plan from an Islamic studies course for adults taught in English. It discusses building submission to Allah upon five aspects based on a hadith of the Prophet Muhammad. The lesson explores concepts like taqwa (piety), different levels of faith attainment, and striving for the hereafter while fulfilling worldly duties. It provides Islamic teachings from Quran verses and hadith to guide Muslims towards righteousness, self-purification and human perfection as envisioned in an "insan kamil".
This document summarizes a lesson on understanding one's identity as a Muslim. It discusses three analogies - a chameleon, layers of an onion, and wearing costumes - to explain how Muslims may take on different outward identities while interactions with others, but their core identity comes from having strong faith (Iman) in the oneness of God (Tauheed). The lesson emphasizes developing good character (Adab) through seeking Islamic knowledge and avoiding being confused by secular ideas. It teaches that striving to obey God (Taqwa) helps Muslims discern right from wrong (Furqan) and filter out bad influences, keeping their core fitrah (natural state) intact like the inner layers of an onion.
The document summarizes a lesson from Ustaz Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail on the Hadith of Jibra-il. The hadith outlines the three important aspects of Islam as faith (iman), deeds (amal), and intention (niyyah). While faith and deeds are important, they are not sufficient without intention - which is assessing the motives behind one's actions. A Muslim's entire life should be an act of worship directed towards Allah alone. The most important quality is taqwa, a state of consciousness and reverence of Allah at all times to avoid disobedience and fulfill commands, seeking only Allah's acceptance rather than worldly recognition.

1) The document introduces a lesson on Shari'ah, its sources, aims, and purpose. It is an intermediate Islamic studies course for English-speaking adults and Muslims converts.
2) Shari'ah refers to the revealed law or canonical law of Islam. It is understood to be the path shown by Allah through the teachings of Muhammad to guide Muslims in all aspects of life.
3) The sources of Shari'ah are the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. Muslims are commanded to obey Allah, the Prophet, and those in religious authority in matters of religious law and jurisprudence.
The document discusses the Islamic concepts of tawassul and shafa'at. It explains that tawassul refers to seeking means or intermediaries to draw closer to Allah, while shafa'at refers to intercession or mediation. The document outlines which beings and things are permitted to provide shafa'at according to Islamic teachings, such as prophets, angels, and good deeds. However, it emphasizes that nothing possesses power independently of Allah, and all occurs by His will and permission alone. The key point is that tawassul and shafa'at are allowed as long as nothing is believed to have divine attributes besides Allah.
This document discusses the importance of learning about the Prophet Muhammad. It argues that the Quran is the most crucial Islamic teaching and that understanding the life and teachings of Muhammad is essential to properly comprehending the Quran. It emphasizes that Muslims should seek to know Muhammad intimately by learning about his noble character, sacrifices, concern for others, and legacy through studying his biography.
The document summarizes Islamic teachings on the concept of tawassul or seeking means of approaching Allah. It discusses that tawassul refers to making supplications to Allah by way of something being sought in religious matters. It notes three types of wasilah or means that are accepted according to Islamic law: 1) invoking Allah's names, 2) mentioning one's righteous deeds, and 3) seeking blessings through prophets or righteous people. The document emphasizes that all supplications are ultimately directed to Allah alone as the sole object of worship.
This document summarizes an introduction to the study of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) provided by Ustaz Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail. It begins with verses from the Quran emphasizing the importance of seeking knowledge and learning from scholars. It then discusses definitions of key concepts like information versus knowledge. The document stresses the importance of studying fiqh to gain proper understanding of the religion and avoid error. It also highlights hadith about following legitimate scholars and the consequences of ignoring religious rulings.
The document summarizes the basic message of Islam through passages from the Quran and discussions on theological topics. It addresses questions like whether God exists, who God is, and what He requires of humanity. The document argues that logic and scientific evidence point to the existence of a supreme Creator, which Muslims refer to as Allah. It also discusses Islamic beliefs regarding Jesus and other prophets compared to Christian beliefs.
The document is a lesson plan for an intermediate Islamic studies course being conducted in English. It covers topics from previous lessons such as tawassul, shafa'ah, and barakah. It discusses seeking blessings from people, places, relics, and events associated with prophets as long as it does not involve shirk. The instructor clarifies hadith and provides context from the Quran regarding honoring Prophet Muhammad. Traces from the prophet like used ablution water were sought for blessings.
The document provides an overview of Islamic beliefs according to a textbook used in adult education classes. It discusses key Islamic concepts like Tawheed (the oneness of God), the five pillars of Islam, angels, prophets, the decree of God, and mankind's purpose and test of faith on earth. Examples from the Quran are presented to elaborate on these theological topics. The overall message conveyed is that Islam teaches belief in God and following His guidance as revealed through prophets like Muhammad in order to attain salvation and avoid punishment in the afterlife.
The document discusses the concept of Shari'ah in Islam. It states that Shari'ah is the revealed law and path shown by Allah and the Prophet Muhammad. It has two primary sources - the Quran and hadiths. While all Muslims must follow Shari'ah, extracting rulings requires qualified scholars as it can involve complex interpretations.
