On the 13^th of September 2018, the Jawatankuasa Surau Sakura (JASSA) organized the yearly event, Miftah al-Bait. This year’s theme was “Hidup ini Satu Perjalanan” which can be translated to “Life is a Journey”. The invited speaker for this year was Ustazah Samsiah binti Jayos, UNIMAS’ very own counselling lecturer from the Faculty of Cognitive Science and Human Development.

Being one of the earliest event held in Sakura College this year, the occasion received overwhelming responses from the students. As the program was open to both Muslims and non-Muslim  students, the Surau, was packed with attendees joining the event.

At 5.50 p.m., the registration counter for Muslim students were open. Once the registration session was complete, the event started with al-Mathurat reciting session.

After the al-Mathurat recital, the Muslimahs began praying for the Maghrib prayer and then performed the Solat Hajat together. At 7.30 p.m, the Yaasin recitation session was held. The event continued with the Isyak prayer.

The main event of the night officially started at 8.30 p.m. Ustazah Samsiah was invited to give a talk on this year’s theme. The talk began with a friendly introduction of the speaker, Ustazah Samsiah binti Jayos. The atmosphere of the event lightened up by the way Ustazah Samsiah hed the talk. The Johor-born lecturer also prepared slides for the attendees to enhance their understanding on the topic. After that, Ustazah Samsiah gave everyone in the room a pen and paper to actually write down the deeds we carry for the world and the life hereafter.
