New Year Walkathon
By Syed Rory Malai Hassan
Bandar Seri
Begawan - More than 150 students, teachers and parents
gathered at Universiti Brunei Darusssalam (UBD) Mosque yesterday for
an early morning of aerobics and walkathon session held in
commemoration of the Hijrah new year 1429.
Organised
by UBD's Religious and Spirituality Unit, Student Affairs Section
and the University Mosque's 2008M/1429H al-Furqan Education Class
committee, the event was held at the mosque's parking lot.
Dean of Student Affairs, Dr Saiful
Azmi Hj Husain, was among the participants of the event which
attracted members of the campus community and the public alike.
The event, held for the 12th year
in running, was organised by the committee as a means of glorifying
and showing appreciation for the coming of the Hijrah new year 1429
with the campus community, members of the public and students of the
guidance classes.
The objective of the event, among
others, was to provide participants with a basic platform for the
shaping and developing of Insan Syumul within the Islamic community
at UBD.
The event also aimed at
strengthening the close relations among the campus community,
members of the public and the campus administration body through its
religious and spirituality unit, teachers, students and committee
members of the al-Quran education guidance classes of UBD mosque.
Events and activities of this
nature provide the organisers with a foundation for building a
support system within the community and members of the public
towards the realisation of UBD's mission which is empowering its
services to the community.
The event which began around 8am,
started off with a reading of the Surah al-fatihah and Doa Selamat
which was then followed by a brisk aerobics session and a short
walkathon around the campus. -- Courtesy of
