Professor Dr. Shukran congratulated the parents for supporting their children and the graduates for their excellent achievements throughout their studies.
In his speech, he highlighted that the graduates should embed the mission of AHAS KIRKHS in their life to succeed in matters that are related to this world and hereafter and to maintain the principles that have been taught.
œGraduates should not forget to apply Islamisation in whatever youve pursued in life, whether youre in a Muslim or Non-Muslim country.
œRemember all the approaches of knowledge that you have learned from us (lecturers). Protect and preserve the knowledge so you can contribute back to our society, he added.
He hoped the awardees would never forget their roots as IIUM alumni and always keep Islamic ideals in mind, especially during their anticipated difficult career years.
The Best Student Hamka Award recipient, Muhammad Najmi Syahiran bin Mamat, a Communication graduate, said the Award was an honour to him and his family.
œThe main thing is that I have made my mom proud because previously, she could not see me graduate in March 2022 as my family was tested positive for Covid-19, he said.
Najmi who currently works as a sub-editor for Free Malaysia Today (FMT) told IIUMToday that he is doing a Master’s of Art in Journalism in UiTM Shah Alam and is now in his final semester.
œAlways trust your heart, most importantly in Allahs plan. After what youve been through, I guarantee that there will be sweet moments in your life, said Najmi.
Meanwhile, a psychology graduate, Muhammad ˜Afif Jazli bin Samion, expressed his honour in receiving the Best Student Award.
˜Afif, a Human Resource Management Trainee in one multinational consumer goods company, which produces health, hygiene, and nutrition products at Reckitt, advised everyone not to be discouraged by failure nor be blinded by success.
œThere is always room for improvement. No matter what the challenges, always keep pushing forward because no matter the results, you will wake up with more experience the next day than the day before, he added.
