JEBAT: Julai 2009

Jemaah, sebagai satu entiti yang membawa perjuangan Islam. Maka, Jemaah menjadi wadah kita untuk bekerja untuk Islam. Sebabnya, dalam jemaah kita tidak berseorangan. Jika kita tidak berjemaah, kita lemah, tidak kuat.

Kufar juga berjemaah; NATO, PBB, EAU dan sebagainya. Bolehkah kita menandingi mereka seorang?

Melalui Jemaah, kita peroleh tarbiyyah, ilmu dan semestinya Islam. Jadi kita teramat memerlukan Jemaah.

Sekiranya kita tidak berjemaah, ramai lagi Murabbi dan penggerak Islam yang ada dalam Jemaah. Begitulah Islam. Kita memerlukan Islam sebagai cara hidup, hidup yang di tunjukkan oleh junjungan besar Muhammad s.a.w. Cara yang 100% di iktiraf oleh dJJI. Sekiranya kita dengan cara kita sendiri, pastikah kita cara kita tepat, sejajar dengan kehendak dJJI?

Kenyataan 'Jemaah tidak memerlukan kita tetapi kita yang memerlukan Jemaah' adalah untuk menangkis sesetengah daripada kita daripada berbanggga dan bongkak dengan diri sendiri bahawa dia lah pejuang yang di perlukan Jemaah.

'Sekiranya kita tiada, Jemaah LEMAH!', tanggapan yang SALAH sama sekali.

Sekiranya kita tiada, ramai lagi yang hebat dan berkobar-kobar untuk memperjuangkan Islam melalui Jemaah dan mungkin lebih baik kita tiada dalam Jemaah yang memungkinkan kita, menjadi asbab runtuhnya ISLAM.

"Semoga diriku tidak termasuk golongan yang sombong dan bongkak..."

TRADITIONAL GAMES CARNIVAL 2009.

On 6^th June 09, Secretariat of Sports and Culture, SRC had organized Traditional GameCarnival 2009 that was open to all Cultural Based Societies (CBSs) and Kulliyyah Based Societies (KBSs). The carnival was held in Saidina Hamzah Male Sport Complex and attracted 200 students to join and took part in the games. The games played by the participants on that day were “permainan guli (marbles), galah panjang, konda-kondi, congkak and teng-teng”. The objectives of organizing such event are to educate local students to appreciate the Malaysian heritage andalso to introduce local culture to the International students. Mdm Norliza Che Hassan, Assistant Director of Cultural and Art Unit said that the programme was good and she said that SRC should try to organize it as an annual event. She mentioned that SRC should also include international traditional games from other countries to make this carnival more interesting and wonderful for the next time.

OPERATION HOUR OF LIBRARY

SRC had received several requests and suggestions from students regarding IIUM Library operation hours. They suggest the library to be opened 24 hours during examination period, especially the reading area. SRC had forwarded the matter to IIUM Library and meet the Assistant Director of Library, Mdm Nuraqmar Az Amirudin. She said the issue has already been raised during library management meeting on June. The demand from students is quite difficult to be fulfilled since the suggestion will involve the extension of IIUM Library staffs shift. Furthermore, it will increase the number of theft cases in library and other security issues. However, the decision is not finite and such suggestion to the IIUM Library can be forwarded to Chief of Librarian through letter. IIUM Library also wants to promote inter-library book loan. Students who are interested to borrow books from any libraries in Malaysia can do so by fulfilling the Inter-Library Loan (ILL) form provided.
