Bismillah, Alhamdulillah.
Usrah what it's? It is one of the most important training and educational process in contemporary Islamic movements as well as other developmental and knowledge building programme such as the tamrin courses, lectures, seminars, workshops, intellectual discourses, symposiums etc.
The usrah is an informal programme although it is a regular, consistent and continous function.
The usrah ought to be dynamic with interactive participation and should not be a one-way communication affair.
Literally, it means a family.
The usrah is a group of Muslim individuals getting together with faith in Islam, working and helping out one another, working together towards a better understanding and practice of Islam.
3 PILLAR OF AN USRAH
The first pillar: Taaruf
One of the common misconceptions is that the
process of 'taaruf' or mutual acquaintance occurs only in the early stages of
usrah.
The 'taaruf' often used by usurers is simply to
know each other's names, occupations and places of residence. So a brief
session like this only happens in the early meetings.
However, the taaruf should happen all the time.
While in a usrah meeting, even outside.
There are many ways to get acquainted (taaruf) with
ushers including visiting their home. Even this pilgrimage should be a
compulsory agenda for every traveler.
This is because with pilgrimage, not only do other
pilgrims know where the member's home is, but they can get to know their family
more closely.
The taaruf process is a very important process and
without a really effective taaruf, the next two pillars will be very difficult
to do
The Second Pillar: Welcome [Tafahum]
Next is understanding..
Understanding is a higher level than just knowing. Understanding
requires empathy. The desire to deepen the feelings of other ushers. A sense of
love and affection for ushers.
On the basis of faith as well as love, a usurper
will reprimand his fellow members if he makes a mistake. This is because the
abuser hates sin and causes his friend to fall into sin.
On the basis of love too, the repulsive philosopher
will find the best way to rebuke his friend. Because his intentions were
sincere, not to shame his friend.
Subsequently, humbly and sincerely, the reputed
friend accepted with open heart, even thanking her for correcting her mistake.
He was even glad that his ushers reprimanded him
for helping him to become a better person.
All of this is only possible when each of us has
reached a level of mutual understanding. The evil French and the whispers of
the devil who wanted to break the unity of their fellowship would not work.
Third Pillar: Takaful
“One believer and another believer are like bricks
that make a building; some strengthen the others. "
This hadith forms the basis of the third principle
of takaful or mutual aid. Helping one another is the most concrete evidence to
uncover the faith and fellowship of fellow believers.
Every expert should always be aware of
other members' concerns. Always look for opportunities to provide assistance
when needed.
Always ask about the condition of an expat; about
his family, his work, and his charity field.
Believe me, even if you can't provide the help you
need, the therapist will appreciate your concern.
"Whoever brings happiness to a Muslim family,
then Allah does not see (the better) reward for it except for heaven."
Conclusion
In the end, if you believe in the discourse of
usrah to transform and enlighten Muslim individuals, then uphold these three
pillars of usrah. Because without any one of the pillar usrah will not strong.
Again, it is said that usrah are not weekly
meetings held. Usrah is a family tied to the bond of fellowship, faith and
understanding of preaching.
