The Kulliyyah of Nursing (KON) Ibadah Camp 2025, held on 20th and 21st March 2025, was a truly joyous and meaningful occasion as it coincided with the holy month of Ramadan. This year’s camp was filled with spiritual activities that strengthened faith, unity, and devotion among participants.
The event kicked off on Thursday afternoon with registration and a welcoming gift session, followed by the recitation of Asma’ul Husna and Du’a, led Dr. Azmir Ahmad. The camp was officially inaugurated by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Kamil bin Che Hasan, Dean of KON, and was made even more special with a group photography session with the theme “Baju Raya”.
Participants benefited from an inspiring lecture on overcoming ethical problems in education, delivered by Ustaz Alif Zainuddin (CFS, IIUM). Later, another thought-provoking lecture titled “Malais of the Ummah” was presented by Ustaz Rifa’e, addressing contemporary challenges faced by Muslims. One of the highlights of this year’s camp was the Grand Iftar, where all participants broke their fast together in an atmosphere of unity. The evening continued with a Congregational Maghrib prayer, followed by a special Tarawih prayer, where all KON staff joined together in devotion.
On Friday, the participants engaged in an uplifting Qiyamullail at SHAS Mosque, IIUM Kuantan, before partaking in Suhoor and performing Subuh prayer. A Tazkirah session, focusing on justice in gender issues, cleanliness, and environmental care, was then delivered by Ustaz Ahmad Fuaad bin Abdul Rahman (YADIM).
The camp concluded with the announcement of the video competition winners, where Group 8 emerged as the champion. This was followed by a closing ceremony, during which the HOD delivered a speech and officially passed over the lights of Ibadah Camp to the next team. The event ended with a “Forgive & Forget” session, where participants reflected on their experiences and strengthened their bonds with one another. May all who attended reap immense rewards from this spiritually enriching program and continue to uphold the values of Islam in their daily lives.
