DMNC July 2015 (in conjunction with Eid Celebration)
May the peace be upon you; salam ilmu keikhlasan kecemerlangan UniMAP
My brothers and sisters who are blessed by Allah Aza wajalla all,
As we are fast approaching the Shawwal celebration 1436H, let us be grateful towards the Almighty for this chance to celebrate Eid in peace and harmony.
The Eid celebration symbolizes as our victory against enemies including those within ourselves such as lust. We fight to refrain from hunger and thirst and also to devote ourselves in religious acts to God in order to be a better servant.
Despite the excitement we will be in, let us not get carried away with the celebration. Prior to your departure, please ensure the security and safety of your residential homes and that your vehicles are in good condition. Inform your neighbours of your absence and also report to the nearest police station in order to alert those on patrolling duty in your area.
When driving, drive with extra caution. Always be alert and patient in any situation encountered while driving. Please think of those who are waiting for you at home. Let us ensure that our return is greeted with joy, not tears. As the saying goes, “Sesal kemudian tiada gunanya” (regretting later is useless).
As we are waiting in excitement for the arrival of Shawwal, let us not forget those who are in need of help and support (asnaf) in order to be able to join in the Eid celebration. Therefore, let us carry out our responsibilities in paying the tithe this coming Eid.
Therefore as the Vice Chancellor of Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), I, Datuk Prof. Dr. Kamarudin Hussin and all, would like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir dan Batin to all brothers and sisters.
Biar Hati Sejernih Air
Jangan Pula Dipenuhi Lumpur
Kalau Salah Belum Berakhir
Moga Diampun Dengan Rasa Syukur
Jika Budi Dipenuhi Ikhlas
Jangan Ia Disulam Tuba
Jika Ada Salah Belum Dibalas
Pohon Keampunan Di Hari Raya
Biar Amarah Disunting Senyum
Ibarat Pekerti Disulam Kasih
Pinta Dihalal Makan Dan Minum
Moga Rezeki Tidak Tersisih
Sekali lagi, pesanan saya…,
‘Jadikan Syawal ini, Syawal yang dinanti, bukanlah Syawal yang ditangisi’
“Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin”.
