after registeration.me and ninie straight away entered the hall to hear the remaining of the brief given by sis aminah(well we did reach pretty late,but it wasn't our fault right?)then,after the microphone was handed to bro dhany,the camp officially started with Ayuh Kenal Yuk! It was totally fun because the ice was broken in a completely different way,it didn't go like the old-fashion style

my name is...yada..yada.I live at...yada..yada

but the approach was completely absurd.we had to write on a small piece of paper,three things,1.our favourite food,2.the name we will give to a pet(someone somehow shouted dhany and caused as giggling profusely),3.the university we would like to pursue.so based on these three things,we had to line up accordingly and shout it out loud.some how,it really did work because the moment we had to line up and stuff,we would indirectly ask one another names and stuffs,so the there you go for the introduction.

Next,Resipi Remaja Sukses a talk given by Bro Abd Razak where he spoke about how we had to have a clear future planning by the time now.He stressed on how everyone was born with the same rights to succeed,and the success is in our hand with the help of the Al-Mighty of course!Then,after refreshing ourself and all that,we were then given a Kuliah Maghrib,Akhlak Mahasiswa Muslim by Pak Cik Sani and he appointed out that we were really lucky to be a muslim because that is our so called strength and guidance of life compared to others.we need to stick in being one and be a MAHASISWA MUSLIM properly.later that night we were then broadcasted live from the studio of Kuliah of Engineering Hall an IPT Forum: Langkah Menuju Jaya where the MC was bro dhany himself and the panelists were sis raudhah,sis shahida and bro saifudin,they were superb students from different fields but there aim to success (Alhamdulillah they are already half way there) impressed us all and ignited our spirits!May Allah Bless them.The forum ended pretty late and by the time it ended everyone was too exhausted to speak,but accompanied with high spirits we continued the activity and transferred our things to the next location.At Kem Rebutia D'Perkasa.For sure that night,we slept soundly showered by millions of bright stars.Masya-Allah.How amazing Allah's creation right?

well,the day was enlightened by a little jungle trekking known as Muslim Tafakur Alam Rimba!fortunately that was the most adventurous and enjoyable trekking I had ever face.Team spirits was expressed by every group and each activity managed to tighten the bond among us all,I must say that my group, thanks to our captain-raudhah,who was really concerned of our safety and i must say i'm really amazed because she totally held on to her responsibilty as the team leader ,and my team mates gave the best cooperation one could ever give.i'm thrilled by everyone of them,plus to apez she was like a life saviour to us.

Moving on to our next activity,was about discussing the most hottest topic ever Forum:Persimpangan Cinta dan Cita-cita .I must say the forum did get me thinking to find the true love which can only be seeked once we are totally in love with Allah.Only then we get to lead a prosperous life.the panelist stressed once a while that we were born to love.But the people nowadays especially the youths had a misconception of true love,it is supposedly for Allah SWT as our priority and then can we love other things like love towards knowledge,love towards Islam and love towards family,love towards teachers and not to forget love towards friends .Like the saying goes

cinta pada bunga,bunga akan layu,

cinta pada manusia,manusia akan mati

cinta pada harta,harta akan habis

cinta pada ALLAH,cinta yang Hakiki

during the evening,we had a little Cergas Cetus Cerdas only there was a combination of every bit of activities such as fear factor+explorace+PLKN and lots more,there were checkpoints and again this activity really helped in team building because everybody played there role and we managed to scrape as the second girls team to finish.You go girl!!But after completing it all,we had to really be quick and get ready for some merely called Malam Kebudayaan called MANIS and also known as Malam Nurani Intepretasi Seni instead, so during the night we had the most enthusiasing shows from each groups accordingly and there were like themes such as dikir barat PPSMI,Pantomim 3 loghat,sinetron and many more.well this time my time got dikir barat and fortunately due to my Kelate based I was appointed as the Tukang Karut along with Nadhirah and we got number three.That wasn't bad was it!!!With our tagline-itik gembo gembo,aye gedek gedek i think we managed to amuse the audience alright.We slept as soundly as can be after everything was over.

Morning upper eastside,the day was started with some games and we enjoyed totally,then the programme continued with a really motivational talk by Dr Zulfaqar about Ceritera Sukses: Misi Agung Mahasiswa Muslim .Every words that came out of his mouth made me gaze him with awe.His approach was so intellectual and touching,he gave a talk based on the Al-Quran!And I think I would most probably share it with all of you his talk that he managed to deliver to us

- سورة المؤمنون

THE BELIEVERS (AL-MUKMINUN)
In the name of God, the All Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ(ayat 1)

Most certainly those Believers have attained true success

he said something that sounded like in order to become a mukmin we need to start as a muslim.same goes to being a mahasiswa,we need to qualify such as getting good grades and entering university

الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ(ayat 2)

who perform their Salat with humility

when we perform solat,we do in a proper way so he emphasized that we need to feed our soul thoroughly and so at our university he told us to seek for activities that has an islamic base so that we are aware of our future and we are balanced of both duniawi and akhirat and prevent form actually producing white collar criminal.nauzubillah

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ(ayat 3)

who refrain from vain things

utilizing time properly by doing good deeds

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَاةِ فَاعِلُونَ(ayat 4)

who spend their Zakat dues in appropriate ways

as a muslim our obligation is to spend zakat so money is needed

he said that money was important.due to that we need to really spend it at the right track like paying university fees and also to excel we must not fear to do an additonal investment and ensure we pass with flying colours to obtain the best result

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ (ayat 5)

who guard their private parts scrupulously

avoiding maksiat and taking care of our pride it can be done by doing extra sunnah activities like fasting,doing good deeds an lots more

فَمَنْ ابْتَغَى وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلآَئِكَ هُمْ الْعَادُونَ(ayat 7)

who are true to their trusts and their promises

it is strictly forbidden to break amant or promises and as a khalifatullah we need to stick to the promise we made to Allah that is to seek knowledge and also shape our attitude

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ(ayat 8)

and who strictly guard their Prayers

its important how we have to really be alert in the prayers we perform everyday and also let us ensure it gets better day by day.same goes to the knowledge we seem to get,we should practice what we learn same as beramal dengan ilmu.

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَوَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ(ayat 9)

These are the heirs who will inherit Paradise

we would really have the aim to be in jannah no matter what well same goes for a mahasiswa where we will ensure that we always upgrade what we have until we achieve the higest level such as Phd and lots more.

these are what Dr gave and I know its not the full translation of the surah but he emphasized on this because he said that this surah could really guide as in being a mahasiswa muslim that is successful.But I hope it will give benefits to some.Wallahualam.

to carry on, we were then exposed to our fields that we are passionate about for example I would pursue in medicine so ikhwans and akhawans were free to choose the specific locatios with some university students studying in that particular field,same goes later on where they also exposed us to universities and before everything ended,we were given a motivational farewell session which made us end up into tears.

proteges

All in all,ERAT was a success,congratulations to those who put effort in ensuring the best of it,as the representative of ERAT, a token of appreciation I would ensure to all the AJKs involved.I'm proud being an ERAT graduate.

its not much,its not a masterpiece,but its sincerely from me...
