This insightful event was organised by the Dakwah and Ibadah Bureau of Mahallah Zaid bin Harithah Representative Committee (MRC) 2020\/2021 in collaboration with Rabithah Ulama Ahlus Sunnah Malaysia.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first panelist was Ustaz Umar Aiman bin Osman. He is currently working as a teacher at Ibn Khaldun Secondary School in Shah Alam. He is also a member of Rabithah Ulama Ahlus Sunnah, a speaker at HaluanTV and an active preacher at the local <em>musolla<\/em> and mosques around Shah Alam since the past 12 years.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second speaker of this programme was Ustaz Mohd Haris bin Che Anuar. He is also a fellow teacher at the same school as the first speaker and also a member of Rabithah Ulama Ahlus Sunnah Malaysia.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first round of the forum started with the explanation of the brief history behind <em>Isra and Mikraj<\/em>. Ustaz Haris explained thoroughly about the loss of two figures who supported the dakwah of Prophet Muhammad PBUH and his trip to Taif. He further explained that Allah SWT made this event to console the heart of His Prophet (PBUH) and to make <em>solat <\/em>obligatory to all Muslims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next round was about <em>solat <\/em>as a way to prevent bad deeds and how it can prevent bad deeds in a person who commits it and this question was handled by Ustaz Umar. He replied that <em>solat<\/em> could definitely prevent it, but it is up to the quality of the <em>solat<\/em> of the doer that will decide whether it can help the doer avert from doing bad deeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The act of <em>solat<\/em> itself has its own philosophy behind it as Ustaz Umar mentioned that it taught us many things including discipline and to be punctual. &#8220;<em>Solat<\/em> is also a form of rest for those who really immerse themselves and understand the act of worship.&#8221;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third round was on the question of how <em>solat <\/em>shaped the best generation of mankind who were the companions of the Prophet (PBUH) and this was addressed by Ustaz Haris. In his explanation to the question, the ustaz said <em>solat <\/em>done by the companions or the <em>sahabahs <\/em>involved an incredible khusyu in their <em>solat <\/em>and taken very seriously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He told a story about a <em>sahabah <\/em>who donated his field of dates because he was distracted by it during his <em>solat<\/em> and deemed that he needed to be punished by it even though the Prophet (PBUH) had yet to punish when he asked for his counsel on the matter. &#8220;This shows how the <em>sahabahs <\/em>made <em>solat <\/em>their priority in everything that helped them to become the best generation brought out from mankind.&#8221;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final question addressed by Ustaz Umar is about &#8220;how <em>solat <\/em>can shape the youth of today as the best Muslims just as the generation of <em>sahabahs<\/em>&#8220;. He argued that youth of today need to take solat seriously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: &#8220;We need to prioritise our <em>solat <\/em>before we are going to do anything. In whatever condition or wherever we perform <em>solat<\/em>, it is a must and we cannot delay it for something else especially if we have nothing urgent to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were also advised to seek what could be done to improve our <em>solat<\/em> and to add complimentary <em>solat <\/em>such as during the time of <em>dhuha, <\/em>before and after obligatory <em>solat <\/em>and to commit some time at night time to pray and do <em>qiamullail<\/em>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their final advice to the viewers and to themselves is &#8220;to never leave <em>solat <\/em>and we need to make ourselves closer to Allah especially during these hard and challenging times&#8221;.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sharing session, moderated by Hazmi Irsyad, was held live on Facebook and watched by over 100 people among IIUM students and the public.  <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All recorded sessions are available at Facebook @Mahallah Zaid bin Harithah.
