In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Compassionate

Alhamdulillah..

Thanks Allah for everything that you gave me. And for everything that waiting for me ahead.

1st March 2018. One year since I joined UMP. And this is how I celebrate the anniversary.

Yes. Performing umrah with my family.

Alhamdulillah. About 6-7 years ago. I take the road that less taken by others. Follow the flow that HE already planned for me. Unknowingly if I can really reached the destination or not.

???? PhD ✔

How hard it could be. How long it takes. Just move forward and don’t give up. It just the matter of time. You’ll deserve it after all the hardwork.

???? Convocation ✔

It’s an unforgettable gift to my parents. It’s not celebrating me ask the doctorate but celebrating them for always being there whenever I need. A walk to be remember for the whole life.

???? Career ✔

Like dream comes true. Pursuing study without any fellowship programme is challenging. Sometimes, when the stress level hit the max, I’ve lose the direction. I couldn’t focus on what I’m working on. I can’t see where my future is. But, HE knows everything. And again, I just follow the flow. Wherever the flow bring me, I’ll stay and do my best. Beyond my imagination that I’ll be here in Pantai Timur. A career before 30? It’s not too late I think. And to myself, welcome to the real world. This is how the world works.

???? Umrah & Ziarah ✔

Thanks Allah for choosing me. For the opportunity to step my foot on the holy mosques. Subhanallah. Being inside masjidilalharam and masjid Nabawi would be such an amazing experience. Looking at the Kaabah and standing in front of it was sooo …. no words can describe how I feel.

What’s next on list?

….. I’ve asked too many from HIM during my umrah last month, that I’m afraid to ask more and more. May Allah bless everything.

Love,

Dr. Sara
