The Postgraduate Program of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) held a regular religious study session on Saturday (26/10) in the Postgraduate Program Student Lounge on the 2nd floor. Themed “The Beauty of Life with the Quran,” this study session invited Ustadz Mahfud Khorul Amin, S.IP., M.A as a speaker. This monthly routine study session aims to improve the quality of worship and increase the religious knowledge of the structural officials, home-based lecturers, and education staff of the UMY Postgraduate Program.
Ustadz Mahfud conveyed that the Quran is the source of happiness for the pious. By basing our lives on the Quran and the sunnah and applying them in our daily lives, we will surely feel happiness in both the world and the hereafter.
“We said, ‘Descend from Paradise, for indeed, you are an enemy to each other, and you will have upon the earth a dwelling place and provision for a time.’ And if there comes to you guidance from Me, whoever follows My guidance will neither fear nor grieve.” (Quran 2:38)
“One letter of the Quran earns ten good deeds (Hadith: Tirmidhi)”
The Quran should always be a part of our lives. The more we read and practice the Quran, the more rewards we will receive from Allah SWT. It would be better if we teach our children to read the Quran as early as possible.
In addition, before the study session began, there was a symbolic event of giving a token of appreciation to Drs. Sofyan Haryanto, a Postgraduate UMY employee who will be retiring.
