Reflections (CCUB 4621 Usrah Budi 4)

I have been reflecting on this subject for quite some time now. As someone who is struggling mentally to recover and be okay, I feel like this group of remarkable people have left me becoming a better person who looks forward to the good things in life instead of wallowing in sadness and dwelling on my past mistakes and the bad things that happen in my life.

    This Usrah Budi 4 class has made me see the good in everything. All of the sharing sessions given by the classmates have truly make me notice that there are a lot of good people in the world who honestly wants to be better and leave a good impact to society. I feel like from this Usrah Budi 4 class, we will be better people and help other people in need. Even a little, I feel like every other good thing that happens to me after this is a result of me being a part of this Usrah Budi 4 class. 

    

    Lastly, thank you to Brother Syafeq for the effort and time in serving the IIUM community as an Usrah facilitator, and also my groupmates and classmates for being present as good people in my life. Hopefully we will all be blessed with good health and wealth and happiness in life. 

Thank you :-)

Wish (CCUB 4621 Usrah Budi 4)

 As the Usrah Budi 4 class comes to an end and the semester coming to a conclusion, I feel that I have a lot of things to be grateful about this semester and this class in particular. However, I do actually have some wishes for the Usrah Budi 4 class that I hope to see come to life one day.

    Firstly, at the beginning of the semester, when the classes had just started, I wished that I would have a great facilitator for the class. Alhamdulillah, Brother Syafeq is a great facilitator and person overall. I have a very considerate and kind facilitator for Usrah Budi 4, which I really need as I am struggling with my FYP and other subjects to finish this degree.

    Secondly, my next wish for the subject is to be a part of a group with good and responsible people. Alhamdulillah, praises to Allah, I have joined Group 4 with all of the groupmates who are very good, responsive, and responsible people when it comes to contributing to the group project. As an extra value, I have also made some great new friends.

    Lastly, and ultimately, I wish that I had been able to leave a good impression to Brother Syafeq and all of my classmates, as well as to make a positive impact with all of the information I shared with the class on the sharing sessions, especially on the importance of mental health awareness. I hope to pass this subject with flying colors and become a better person as a result of being surrounded by great people.

WHAT WE DID?

For Usrah Budi 4, facilitated by Brother Syafeq Amin, we have been tasked to create an infographic poster promoting one of the good deeds in Islam. For our group, Group 4, we decided to choose Sadaqah as our topic. We had discussed and came to a conclusion that we wanted to make an infographic promoting what is Sadaqah is Islam, ways to give Sadaqah, and the benefits of Sadaqah. We then divided the tasks between ourselves and looked up for all of the information needed for the infographic poster.

MY CONTRIBUTION

As an ICT student studying Digital Media Design, I volunteered myself to edit the infographic poster with the information that have been gathered by the rest of the group members. I have also double checked the information given with the website sources given by other group members. The editing process has been done using the website Canva with all of the graphic elements coming from the website. Canva is a very intuitive and easy to use website for when we have to create an interesting design that does not require a lot of resources and internet data usage. Finally, after a few revisions, everyone was happy with the design and we decided to submit the version of the infographic poster shown in this post to Brother Syafeq.

Updated Biodata (CCUB 4621 Usrah Budi 4)

 

Assalamualaikum. I am Danial Afiq Bin Azlan, currently on my final year of degree in ICT. I am 23 years old and I come from Penang, Malaysia. First of 3 siblings, I aspire to become someone who can make a big impact to society and help my family as well as to give back to the people who have helped me get to where I am now. On my final days of degree, I have so many plans on becoming a great application designer or teacher, whichever Allah wills.

    I am someone who is very optimistic in every situation I faced. I feel that this is one of the reasons why I am still here and have survived almost 4 years of degree life. I love teaching on top of everything else. I find my interest in teaching and have had the opportunity to teach a few classes in my Kulliyyah, KICT, and have been invited to become a speaker in graphic designing workshops. I feel like as a human being, I am deeply sinned. As a weak human being, I have done so many bad things to so many people in my life. That's why I feel like one of the best ways to redeem myself is to be an educator and help other people gain knowledge and become better people. My ultimate dream is to become a lecturer here in IIUM.

    I have been suffering from major depressive disorder and bipolar mood disorder for a few years already. I sometimes feel like there is no more hope for me and my fears can easily overpower me and make me overthink so much. But I believe, that behind every hardship, there is ease and the light at the end of the tunnel. I am hopeful and I am happy to finally end my degree life. Can't wait to see what life has in store for me.
