"This activity is carried out every month, not just routine. But this (activity) in nature encourages students to diligently worship at the mosque, "said the UMA Rector represented by Vice Chancellor (WR) Student Affairs Muazzul SH MHum started the remembrance event at the At Taqwa Mosque Campus I Jalan Kolam Medan Estate, Friday (10/10/2019) ) night.
The remembrance filled with tausiyah by Ustad Dr. Sugeng Warto M.Ag was attended by YPHAS Chairman Drs M Erwin Siregar MBA, Head of Public Relations Ir Asmah Indrawaty MP, the deans, lecturers, and employees, and students in the UMA environment. Appear to be present at the event was Ati Hadiati SE, wife of UMA Rector Prof. Dadan Ramdan. UMA hopes that students will not only have general knowledge, but also have religious knowledge in order to create morals, "Knowledge is not obtained on campus, but it can be through remembrance activities like this," he said.
Pak Muazzul continued, after students graduate from college at UMA, the skills they have and the knowledge they get if they are not accompanied by morals, they will not be useful. In creating graduates with morality, UMA encourages students to have the ability to be able to read the Koran. For this reason, he hopes that all UMA students who are Muslim can read the Koran. I consider the remembrance held by UMA and YPHAS as one of the positive activities undertaken so that students have an edge in the field of religion, 'said muazzul.
Students should utilize all UMA facilities, both mosques or other facilities for positive Islamic activities. Before the dhikr and the midnight prayer were held.
Ustad Sugeng Warto gave tausiyah with the theme of hijrah in his tausiyah, it said, students must have Islamic and quranic personality traits. Allah guarantees that anyone close to the Quran will be honored in their lives. "Practice the values ??contained in the Qur'an. The point of our first migration is the point is not to stay away from the Koran, "
He saw Muslims today far behind, synonymous with setbacks and divisions. According to him it was because in dealing with the problem, Muslims were far from the holy book. "The solution, we must take lessons in the best history of Muslims, namely in the time of His Majesty the Prophet Muhammad. Because, the moral of the prophet is the Koran. For that reason, the spirit of migrating is to be useful for the nation and religion, don't stay away from the Koran, "he said.
He agreed with the UMA policy which encouraged students to be good at reading the Koran as a source of life guidance. "Loving, mentadabburi, and practicing the contents of the Koran will bring up the spirit of migration, so that later UMA students have better morals," he said.
Previously, the Chairperson of the UMA At Taqwa Mosque Prosperity Agency Dr. Hasrat Effendi Samosir MA said that the dhikr, prayer, and prayer together was one of the UMA's efforts to prosper the mosque and broadcast Islam. "There are so many things that can be done to prosper mosques such as recitation, dhikr and tahajud and other Islamic activities," he said.
With these activities, said Hasrat Samosir, will make the mosque as a center of civilization for the campus community.
