A FANTASTIC SHARING SESSION BY USTAZ WAN ZIKRI

A gem of sharing session by Ustaz Wan Zikri Qamaruddin.

ISDEV was bestowed with one exceptional guest on Tuesday 8 January, 2019 for the weekly Tuesday Study Session. ISDEV had a pleasant surprise when Ustaz Wan Zikri Qamaruddin agreed to fulfil the invitation by ISDEV Founder, Professor Dr. Muhammad Syukri Salleh, to drop by at ISDEV that day after the zuhur congregation prayers. Ustaz Wan Zikri was brought to ISDEV Rseource Room at 3:00pm for the sharing session with ISDEV members after the usual opening made by the Chairperson of that day, Dr Azrin Ibrahim.

Some of ISDEV (male) students that were fortunate to hear first hand Ustaz Wan Zikri's account of his past.

Ustaz Wan Zikri started the session by sharing about his past and the routes he took to learn in depth the Arabic Language and Islam generally. That passion to learn and know about Islam and to fill in the void he felt within him post SPM days at MRSM, brought him to a few countries in the Middle East such as to Egypt and Jordan. After obtaining his bachelor degree, he came back with a strong commitment to give back to MRSM and thus applied for a job. Alhamdulillah he was offered a position, and the rest, they say is history. 

Rapt in attention to ensure that all the formula Ustaz Wan Zikri shared are stored safely.

As the current Director of the Ulu Al-Bab Centre is Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) in Perak Ustaz Zikri also shared a few formula by using acronyms. The four roles that all Muslims must play which is AADK ('Abid, 'Alim, 'Dai and Khalifah), the formula towards memorizing the Quran (BIFFAS), DUIT (Do'a, Usaha, Istiqamah and Tawakkal) and many more. 

All smiles as everyone agreed it was truly a great sharing session.

He made special mention that the 8 January, 2019 marked the 20 years that the IMTIAZ School of Excellence (the first to introduce the Ulu Al-Bab education system) was established with seven students back then. These pioneers of the school are known as the Ashabul Al-Kahfi.
