Sahih International

Recite in the name of your Lord who created -96.1

       

       Islam is one of the most widespread religions in the world. It spread because of its beauty and peace. Muslim can learn about Islam everywhere and of the most suitable place to learn Islam and learn about world’s knowledge is in the International Islamic Malaysia (IIUM). IIUM is one of the most prestigious universities in the world including Malaysia and other countries. Here, people will learn various kinds of knowledge such as science, mathematics, law and also Islamic knowledge.

      As for the knowledge, IIUM didn’t lack anything in providing its students with good and updated knowledge. Even though IIUM bears the name of Islamic university but it didn’t failed in providing sophisticated knowledge that equal to another famous university in Malaysia and outside Malaysia.

       One of the good things that IIUM have that differentiate it from the other university is the Islamization of knowledge. When we learn here, all of our lectures from various Kuliyyah taught us that all knowledge can be seen and learned in Islamic ways. So, this makes us to think the greatness of ALLAH S.W.T and his creations and knowledge.

       The years I have spent in IIUM had taught me a lot of things. One of it is to always look things from a different perspective. I have involved in theatres and short film along my journey here. These two medium have always been frown upon by some people saying that it is not good and useless in nature as it focuses on entertainment. However, being a part of the theatre taught me that this mean of entertainment is actually not for entertainment per se. IIUM inserted the Islamic values into these medium of entertainment and most of the story that had been presented have exquisite moral values. In a way, theatre can be considered as dakwah as long as it follows the Islamic guidelines. It really gives a heartfelt pleasure when you know you have done something right. Dakwah is not an easy thing to do but through theatre, you can do good deeds as well as entertain others. J

       For me, I think that this university is very good in shaping my attitude. I enter this university in the year of 2008 (2 years in CFSIIUM and 4 years in IIUM). In the university, I’m taking Bachelor of English Language and Literature. So, I learned all the basis knowledge about English including its history, literature and grammar. Previously, I learned in Arabic based school and I didn’t pay much attention towards the English language. I thought that, this language is very difficult to learn and also this is a language of foreign and non-Muslim language. But, deep in my heart, I kind like of English language but I didn’t know much in how to improve my English. But, all of these changes when I learned in IIUM. Even though, we have been taught about western literature but our lecturers on behalf of IIUM taught us on how to Islamize these kinds of knowledge. They said that, all of knowledge in this world came from ALLAH and we can learn all of it. The most important thing is how we perceive the knowledge and how we connect the knowledge to our Creator. So, this is what has been taught by my lecturers in IIUM. I really like this way of learning and perceiving things with Islamic point of view. In short, IIUM had given me a lot of meaningful things that can assist my life here and hereafter.

       Based from my experience, I feel so lucky to be able to set my foot here in IIUM and learn so many valuable things. Before, I was a student in UiTM and I never had the opportunity to get involve in programs and activities. Even in my assignments, only little touch on the Islamic perspective. In my opinion I have made the right choice to change course and continue to further my understanding in Islamic values. i don't mean that studying in UiTM is bad but is is to my own fault that i don't want to get close to it myself. I feel so sad that along the years in UiTM, I failed to manage my own time to learn about Islamic values. Alhamdulillah, even the smallest thing that I have done here taught me to be strong and believing in the right path is always the righteous path. I am so thankful to all my lecturers that guide me and made me who I am today. I feel so grateful for every knowledge that I gain consciously or unconsciously, I will cherish it all my life.

       In my years as an undergraduate in IIUM, it is somehow change my life particularly in my views and perspective towards certain things. I learned a lot regarding Islamic perspective because the exposures somehow are more specific and particular which I never explore before outside of IIUM. Even though I am an English major, it does not mean that I am not aware with the Islamic surrounding, offering a knowledge which I never thought of comprehending and somehow I manage to improve myself through it formally or informally.
