Verses from the Quran are discussed that encourage patience, enjoin following Allah's guidance rather than desires, and stress that Allah guides those who strive in His cause.
The document is a lesson plan on adab (good character) towards Allah, focusing on tawadhu' (humility) and haya' (modesty). It begins with introducing the topic and dividing students into groups.

This document provides an overview and recap of lessons from an ADAB module focused on developing good character towards Allah.
The key points discussed include:
- Istighfar, or seeking forgiveness from Allah, is an important aspect of good character towards Allah after repentance from sins.
- Istighfar should be constantly practiced, not just occasionally, to rid oneself of arrogance and acknowledge one's faults and Allah's forgiveness.
- The Sunnah provides many examples of when to practice istighfar, such as during prayers, before sleep, and other daily occasions.
- Practicing istighfar with sincerity and awareness of one's sins is important, accompanied by remorse and hope in Allah
The document discusses controversies surrounding bid'ah (innovation in religious matters) and provides clarity on the issue. It notes that Islamic scholars differ in their definitions of bid'ah and how it relates to sunnah (the way of the Prophet). While some strictly define anything not done by the Prophet as bid'ah and reject it, most scholars do not reject all new things or bid'ah as reprehensible, but accept certain bid'ah, especially if it does not contradict the Quran and sunnah. Hadiths are also cited discussing the importance of following the sunnah and avoiding dissension and new matters that cause misguidance.
