GOMBAK, 15 November 2017: The last day of the IIUM 33rd Convocation Ceremony on Monday (13 November) witnessed 1,958 graduands from seven Kulliyyah being conferred their scrolls, marking the end of convocation ceremony for 2017.
In her speech, the Rector of IIUM, Prof. Dato Sri Dr. Zaleha Kamarudin, advised IIUM graduates to always practice Islamic values which have been taught persistently throughout their intelectual journey in IIUM.
She encouraged graduates to remain shariah-compliant in whatever nature of career that they pursue, as Islam is the main guideline and framework in which life is lived.
œIn this premier Islamic university, you should soar higher with Islamic values. The curriculum in IIUM is the product of Islamisation -Â an initiative uniquely designed by the learned people of this university, and formulated as a reformation for the Muslim ummah.”
In her parting words to the graduands, she reminded them to always honour and appreciate their lecturers and parents who have been giving unswerving moral support throughout their journey as students.
Mr. Pamnan and Mdm. Hayati, who came to the ceremony to watch their daughter Najla Binti Pamnan, a graduand from AIKOL, receiving her scroll, expressed their pride to IIUM.
œI feel proud with my daughter’s achievement and I’m satisfied that I have fulfilled the responsibilities given by Allah SWT, Pamnan said.
œI expect that my daughter will carry out her responsibilities with a strong commitment and confidence in a career that is certainly far more challenging, he added.
