GOMBAK, 25 November 2023: Today, Her Majesty Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah officially opened the first session of the 39th IIUM Convocation Ceremony.
Tunku Azizah, who is also the Constitutional Head of the IIUM, congratulated all graduates and award winners at the ceremony, that took place at the IIUM Cultural Centre (ICC) of IIUM Gombak.
Her Majesty conveyed her hope that the graduates will utilize their acquired knowledge to contribute to a better world by aligning kindness, dedication, intellect, and determination as khalifah to the ummah.
She also highlighted on fellow Muslims in Palestine in the current situation and for us to always provide supplication for them and help them in need; Malaysian should stay united with the Palestinian people.
œIn the state of the current situation in Palestine, it may cause us to lose hope, but we must remember that prayer, when paired with knowledge and truth, has the power to transform and guide us out of even the most hopeless and dire circumstances, said Tunku Azizah in her speech at the ceremony.
She hoped all graduates of the five-day convocation, rather than only honoring their own successes, also remember their unwavering dedication to the IIUM, as former students and graduates.
We are grateful to Allah SWT for the blessings bestowed upon the ummah and eagerly anticipate another momentous year for the IIUM.***
