Self-Awareness

Wahida says....

As a Muslim, each and every of our deeds is accountable us. Thus, from the moment we open hour eyes and sip our first air, are accountable. If the intention is set right in every each of our deeds, it is considered as a form of ibadah to Allah swt. This same goes to fluttering our wings in the journey of learning. Throughout this semester, it seemed like we had so little time yet so many things to do. As mentioned in Surah Al-Asr:


This particular verse is closely related to how we as Muslims and students should really observe how our time is spent and how each and every second of our time is accountable to us. Time management is very important in our lives as said by Imam As- Shafi'e:



On top of that, we also learnt that fulfilling amanah is a part of iman. We as students are not only hold in our hand amanah from our lecturers, we also hold the amanah from our dear beloved parents. This is the same goes to amanah between friends. When were were give tasks by the lecturers, we are obliged to fulfill the amanah to complete the tasks. In the process of completing the tasks, we were also fulfilling the amanah from our parents that is to study. While we were completing the tasks, we devided our labour between frinds and thus we were obliged to complete the tasks accordingly. As mentioned inSurah An-Nisa':58-

Verily Allah commands you to fulfill your trusts to those whom it is due and when you judge, judge with justice, Very how excellent is te guidance Allah gave you, it is he who sees all things. (al-Nisa’:58)

In short, if we take the time to ponder upon our journey in life, there will always be a lesson to learnt as Allah is giving us a lifetime lessons and it is all up to us whether we grab the opportunity for the betterment of our iman, religion, family and nation.

Syafikah says.....


Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

I entered IIUM when I was at the highest point of life in searching for myself. I didn't come from a religious school and honestly, I was quite rebellious towards many things. There were times when I questioned why Allah sent me here because I thought that I don't belong here. I don't belong to be part of this big happy family. The person I was, belong somewhere else because the person I was, was far from who I am now. Little did I know, this is the path Allah has set for me. And that is because He loves me.

I learned a lot about life in IIUM. The lecturers, students, friends, and even the staffs had at least taught me something. I have changed, Alhamdulillah. Still changing slowly, in fact. And the happiest thing is to know that my parents are very happy and proud of who I am now. Nothing can beat the feeling of making your parents happy. That is the least that I could do.

Taking Computer Application course this semester has also taught me a lot. As a student who specialized in Literature, I have never been exposed to the way of creating a lesson plan so I am so happy to learn new things in this course. There are many other things I have learned throughout the semester. This will definitely be among best memories I have in IIUM.

And now I believe, Allah who created the beginning can be safely trusted with the end and everything in between. That is simply because He knows best and He is the greatest planner.

Here in this post, I would like to reflect my journey not only in Comp App class but also my journey throughout my study here in IIUM. Being in the final semester, I get to reflect all the years I spent seeking knowledge here. It is true that Allah will never place you to where you don't belong. Everything that Allah has planned for each of His creatures are the greatest plan.
I started off the year here in IIUM Gombak with the least ilm' in me. But throughout the years, I get to meet new and great people which shape me to who I am today. Alhamdulillah I must say, I am blessed to have met all these people. It doesn't really matter who you meet, whether they make you or break you as long as you always learn along the journey. 
Learning Computer Applications in Language Learning, I was exposed to how advancement of technology can bring about many positive outcomes. And learning Varieties of English, I am more equipped with the knowledge of the different English available in the world. Given a chance to be a BENL degree holder insyaAllah, I'd like to share my knowledge and make contributions to the nation and Ummah.
