Bulan Islam & Kelestarian 2010

Based on USM Vice Chancellor’s idea to implement The University In A Garden concept will definitely beckon peace and tranquillity sense among the entire campus population. A dream to establish a garden in a tower of knowledge would be difficult to materialise without the cooperation from all parties. Furthermore, a university is one of the gardens of knowledge based on an academic perspective like what has been suggested before by our Prophet Muhammad SAW who was sustainable in his nature through his hadith which means, “ If you pass by a garden between gardens of eternity thus you should sit down and follow it”. The Messenger’s friends asked, “ What is the garden between those gardens of eternity, dear Rasulullah SAW? ” Prophet Muhammad SAW answered, “ A lecture (a ceremony in it is a reminder to God) .” Based on the hadith explanation above therefore we understand that Rasulullah SAW had portrayed a high and admirable position to knowledge councils in Islam until there are regarded as a garden between gardens of eternity. Hence, USM's Muslim Student Association (PMIUSM) at this moment start the effort in moving all academic opportunities to implement Bulan Islam dan Kelestarian or Islamic Month and Sustainability (BIK). As Allah SWT 's caliph, every human is responsible in developing and conserving the environment as well as continually nurturing the love and appreciation of the grandeur of nature and the ecology as bequeathed to us by God as best as possible through a positive interaction. Human interactions are not only limited between The Creator and fellow human beings but they include the relationships with the universe. Islam is a complete religion because it’s living system was degraded by The Omniscience and The All Knowing. This can be excerpted from Allah SWT’s decree “Today I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you and have chosen for you Islam as your religion." (QS. 5 : 3).
