GOMBAK, 17 March 2025 : An iftar gathering was organised by the Indonesian Students’ Association of IIUM (PPI-IIUM) on 13 March 2025 at IIUM Gombak. The event aimed to bring Indonesian students together in the spirit of Ramadhan, emphasizing unity, spiritual growth and the importance of upholding the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad SAW.
One of the key aspects of the programme was the Islamic Study Session by a prominent social media influencer, Kadam Siddi, known for his insightful discussions on Islam. In his talk session, he emphasized on the importance surrounding oneself with a good circle of friends because he believes that a person’s environment plays a crucial role in shaping their character, beliefs and spiritual growth.
He stressed that reading is essential for becoming a more knowledgeable and well-rounded individual because having the right knowledge allows a person to understand life better and make wise decisions. He also encouraged attendees to commit to reading for at least five minutes a day for 40 days. By dedicating just a few minutes daily, one can gradually cultivate a love for reading to gain deeper insight into religious and worldly matters.
One of the attendees, a member of PPI-IIUM, Dian Putri Nurainun, shared that she gained valuable new insights from Kadam Siddi’s speech, which she found practical and beneficial for human daily life.
The programme then continued with the Maghrib prayer in congregation, fostering a sense of unity and reflection among participants. After the prayer, an engaging Kahoot quiz session took place during iftar, where a door prize was awarded to top scorers, adding a competitive yet enjoyable element to the programme.***
