Besides gaining new knowledge and foster networking among participants, Dr. Mohd Shukri added that this conference had also infused in him the spirit of bravery and self-confidence as well as placing heavy reliance on Allah SWT more so when one is far from home and loved ones. Reliance is only to Allah SWT.

He also added and encouraged all ISDEV members to travel far, wide and beyond for Allah SWT has made this earth expansive indeed wherein lies vast knowledge awaiting to be discovered. Thus overcoming fear of travel by inculcating the courage to travel alone is a valuable experience as the benefits that can be derived are not only confined to one’s self but to Islam as well.
