GOMBAK, 15 August 2022: 585 graduates from Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws (AIKOL) and Kulliyyah of Dentistry were conferred with their degrees in the fifth session of the 37th Convocation Ceremony today (15 August 2022).
During the session, IIUM Rector, Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Dato Dzulkifli Razak, emphasised that university life is not merely about graduating with good grades.
Instead, it should be a starting point for graduates to make new changes in the world by instilling an awareness of Islam as a force to reckon with.
He reiterated that it is the amanah of IIUM to ensure the degree obtained by all graduates filled with barakah knowledge that would be shared with their families and society as a whole.
He hoped that the balanced knowledge, which was based on revelation and virtue, acquired by the graduates, will distinguish them from other university graduates.
He also acknowledged that today’s achievement is due to families’ undivided support. œI believe half of the success is from the parents and families kind prayers.”
Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Dato Dzulkifli Razak ended his speech by congratulating all graduates hoping for everyones close interaction to make the world a better place to live in.
