~~~~Sciencess Ihya Ramadhan Review~~~~

SCIENCESS Grand Iftar (19^th August 2010)

One way to celebrate Ramadan was by sharing iftar together following the sunnah.

The Messenger of Allaah (salallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said,

“Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like that of the fasting person, without any reduction in his reward.”

[Ahmad and Al-Nasai. Also verified by Al-Albani as sahih]

Sciencess grand iftar is an annually program of Kuliyyah of Science (KOS). It aims is to bring students, lecturer and staff together from various racial and national background of all members of KOS to have iftar together in this month of barakah. Moreover, when all members of KOS being together, they can strengthen their ukhuwwah by getting know each other especially between senior and junior, as well as students and lecturer.

Normally this events is usually held at resource centre of Kuliyyah of Science but due to increasing number of student attend the grand iftar this year on 19^th August 2010, the place had been changed to IIUM Mosque at Kuliyyah of Medic (KOM) as the resource centre is not enough to occupy many students this year. With about 400 students and staff showing up for the event, it was a great number of people took part compared to the previous years.

The program started at 6.30 pm with tadarrus and video show. Then at 7.20pm, simple meal which is kueh and dates given to every student and after maghrib prayer the students then being given “nasi beriani” each and the program continue until tarawih prayer and finished with moreh.

Eating in a group as done in this iftar is not the same as eating alone, a simple menu can become special one due to eating together because of bonding or ukhuwwah being developed during eating together. As the prophet said:

“The fasting person has two times of delight. He is delighted when he breaks his fast and delighted when He meets his Lord. And verily the foul odour from the mouth of the fasting person is better to Allah than the fragrance of musk perfume.”

[Al-Bukhari no. 1904 and Muslim no. 161/1151]

Thus, the programme runs smoothly even though there are some unexpected situation occurred but with the professionalism of the committee, the program has been conducted successfully and most of the feedback got from students are positive feedback.

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THE REMAINING 10??

Translation of Surah al-Qadr, verse 1-5:

1. Verily! We have sent it (this Qur'an) down on the night of Al-Qadr (Power).
2. And what will make you know what the night of Al-Qadr (Power) is?
3. The night of Al-Qadr (Power) is better than a thousand months.
4. Therein descend the angels and the Ruh (Gabriel) by Allah's Permission; on every errand.
5. Peace! Until the appearance of dawn.


Summary

This Surah describes Lailatul Qadar, the "Night of Power" in Ramadhan on which Muslims believe the Qur'an was first revealed. The "Spirit" mentioned in verse 4 is commonly interpreted as referring to the angel Jibrail (Gabriel). The "peace" referred to is "security in which Shaytan (Iblis) cannot do any evil or any harm", while Ibn Kathir quotes Ash-Sha'bi as saying that it refers to the angels greeting the people in the mosques throughout the night.

Lailatul Qadar occurs during an odd-numbered night within the last ten days of Ramadan, but its exact date is uncertain; due to the promises made in the Surah and in various hadith. Muslims consider it a particularly good time for prayer, supplication, and repentance to God.

Let’s go green! -pictures-

The Green Initiative is an initiative to promote environmental awareness among the students and staff of the Kulliyyah of Science, with the hope that our efforts will reach those outside of the IIUM network as well. It aims to promote awareness concerning environmental issues, to encourage ways to protect and sustain the environment, and to live life in a more environmentally-friendly manner. (takne from the green initiative FB page)

Allah has also said in Holy Quran: (Surah Al-Rum: 41)

“Mischief has appeared on land and sea because of (the meed) that the hands of men have earned, that (Allah) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that they may turn back (from Evil)”

Based on this verse, Allah reminds us that we are the one who create distructions on earth so, we will feel the results then.Our greediness and bad desires lead us to conquer world has effected our environment with problems and pollutions badly. Therefore, it is our responsiblility to make things right by doing the right things! How? There are a lot of activities from this programme which we can participate such as:

1. Make 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle)as our lifestyle

2. Donate our used paper. There is a donation box provided at KoS Lobby where we can put those papers.

3. “Like” The Green Inititative’s facebook page

4. Expose ourselves to the environmental problems that occur now. We can join the green exhibition at Kos Lobby. Try to spend a little time to read what is posted there. We’ll perhaps get some new info or at least been reminded about what we’ll already know…which I tell you, that we need to be reminded all time J

These are only some of the activities. There are thousands of ways which we may put in actions to save our planet. Be a true Muslim, ponder upon this ayah and let’s go green! Stop polluting our world and make a difference in our lifestyle by changing our attitude towards the environment.

SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT, SAVE THE WOLRD!!!

REMINDER: VENUE ALREADY BEING CHANGED TO KOM...

LET'S COME TOGETHER AND ENHANCE OUR IBADAH!!

Kulliyyah of Ramadhan (Science)

We are very grateful to Allah SWT for His will; He has chosen us once again to be in the month of Ramadhan, which is entered into the Kuliyyah of Ramadan. This month is the month of tarbiyyah and education where our souls are ruled with the law of Ramadan and we carefully motivated by the virtues or benefits of Ramadan. It is not easy to enter this Kuliyyah and thank to Allah that make us as a part of it.

Brothers and Sisters,

This blessed month also can refer as the month of worship, mujahadah and maghfirah. In this month people are racing to increase their good deeds or in fact to add the 'submission' to Allah SWT. That why it called the month of worship. How about we name it as a month of mujahadah? This can refer how strong we fight against our own desires. Anyone who truly fights his own lust, he considered as Mujahid. In this month, the repentance and forgiveness door are wide open. Therefore, this is also the month of forgiveness.

From sky the blessings of Allah come down. Let us grab all the opportunities that Allah gave us to show our sincerity as a slave. Don’t make fasting month as a reason to decrease our productivity and ability as a student of Kulliyyah of Ramadhan. May Allah always with us. Ameen.

IHYA' RAMADHAN 1431H =)

A season of togetherness and care

A time to think of others welfare

A season to equate oneself as others

Time to remember unprivillaged in life

And a time to return to almighty.

Rising above your ego and self

High above the horizon on high

Deep to the loins of the earth

Where abode dwells the spirits of life

And a region where equality prevails

Just to the sound of brass

The strings of harp and guitars

The horns and flutes in the house tops

Are the joys and jubilation of this visit

Ramadhan at last, home to dwell

May the joys and peace of it

The love of togetherness and oneness

May the union of love dwell in

And the heart of fasting and prayer

Welcome Ramadhan, the blest visitor.

Ramadhan Karim.

For instance, maybe today we are in the same class,same department or in the same kulliyyah..but who knows tomorrow we are not the same..
