Eid Mubarak 2011!

Salam awesome people!

Unas (ra) reported that when the Prophet Muhammad (saw) migrated from Makkah to Madinah, the people of Madinah used to have two festivals. On those two days they had carnivals and festivity. The Prophet Muhammad (saw) asked the Ansaar (the Muslims of Madinah) about it. They replied that before Islam they used to have carnivals on those two joyous days. The Prophet Muhammad (saw) told them: 'Instead of those two days, Allah has appointed two other days which are better, the days of Eid-al-Fitr and Eid-al-Adha.' (Hadith) 

Time surely flies this blessed as we are already approaching the end of Ramadan 2011. What a short journey, huh? Still, we believe that it was definitely a wonderful journey spent with family & friends, and we do hope that all of you had a fulfilling holy month this year! =)

To all IIUM staffs & students, whether in Malaysia or other parts of the world, and for the rest of our fellow Muslim brothers & sisters everywhere, IIUM.fm would like to wish a heartfelt EID MUBARAK to you!! May Allah S.W.T. bless you all with much peace, joy and happiness always! =D

So, want to know the significance of Eid? Check it out right HERE!

And what should we do on the night of Eid ul Fitri, the DAY itself, and the whole of Shawwal month? It's just a click away right HERE. =D

Ramadan is BACK!

Assalamualaikum beautiful people!

That's right, the holy month of Islam has come to embrace us again! And in the IIUM environment, this Ramadan marks the beginning of a new change for IIUM residents as the new academic calendar allows us to celebrate Ramadan at home with our families. =) Therefore, IIUM.fm would like to wish a fulfilling, enchanting, beautiful Ramadan to all IIUM citizens and the rest of the Muslims everywhere across the world!

Here's something that we'd like to share with you about Ramadan:

We should note that the month of Ramadan is the best of months. This month is superior to others in four things: 

1.     In it there is the best night of the year, which is Lailatul Al-Qadr. Worship on this night is better than worshiping for a thousand months. 

2.     In this month was revealed the best of Books to the best of the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon them all). 

3.     In this month the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are shut, and the devils are chained up. 

4.     There are many kinds of worship in Ramadan, such as fasting, praying Qiyam Al-Layl (Night Vigil Prayer), feeding the poor, performing i`tikaf (religious retreat), giving charity, and reading the Qur’an.

How do we welcome Ramadan? How can we prepare for Ramadan? Read more on this beautiful blog post here -----> SuperMuslims : Welcoming Ramadan =D


Of course, IIUM.fm has an awesome line-up of programmes, songs and nasyeeds just for you this blessed month!

We have a special programme, 

'Ramadan Reminders with Yusuf Estes',

every day this Ramadan at 2 p.m. 

May we all benefit from his reminders!

Keep sticking to IIUM.fm, Your Campus Radio this Ramadan, peeps~ \^0^/

IIUM.fm's Birthday Bash A Success!

Salam gorgeous people!


Already celebrating away your semester break? We sure believe you are! It is definitely the time to embrace that much-awaited free time and spend quality time with friends and family! For those traveling to various parts of Malaysia or the rest of the world, IIUM.fm would like to wish all of you a safe and smooth trip back home, and may Allah bless your journey along the way. We would also like to wish you a fulfilling long semester break and of course, Insyaallah, we'll meet you again next semester with more new content and talents! ^_^

For those who didn't know, IIUM.fm has celebrated it's first birthday bash on the 17th June 2011!! The bash was held at the Human Sciences (HS) Square and there were much entertainment from fellow students, lots of food (yes, a lot of food for just tea-time!) and of course, a birthday bash wouldn't be complete without a birthday CAKE and birthday cupcakes!!! Let's go through the eventful celebration in pictures, shall we? \^0^/

The birthday bash began with a few opening words by IIUM.fm's own deejay, Amierah Amer

The Head of Department of Communication (HS), Dr. Che Mahzan Ahmad giving out his short speech

The Dean of IRKHS, Dr. Badri Najib Zubir reminiscing the achievements of IIUM.fm in his speech

The audience were shown a video show on the history and the journey of IIUM.fm throughout it's first year

A sudden gimmick that caught everyone in surprise & excitement!

The bash had another emcee of the day, Bro. Junaidy Abidin who showed us a couple of cool dance moves!

The first performance for the bash was from the Palestinian group, impressing the audience with their traditional warrior dance!

The ceremony was toned down for a while with some soulful nasyeed from the members of IIUM's Nasyid Club

The event was hyped up again with a dance performance from Syria!

An awesome solo move by one of the Syrian dancers!

The last performance of the day with more soulful songs from IIUM's Acoustic Band club

Aww... IIUM.fm's founding father, Sir Johanni Saleh, Dr. Che Mahzan & Dr. Badri Najib in union to cut the IIUM.fm's birthday cake!

The bash ended oh-so-nicely with, of course, 'makan' time!

Our lovely customised cupcakes!!! =D

Yeah, FOOD!

The best way to end your 'makan' - have a chit chat!

Our guests seemed to be enjoying themselves!

Maybe enjoying a bit too much? =D

All in all, the bash was a success and we'd like to thank everyone who made it happen and to all those who came and made it awesome!

~~~

Besides the wonderful birthday bash, IIUM.fm also had a major makeover in the radio lab which not many of us are aware about! So what exactly is it? =P

The conty has been moved to the radio classroom! Whee~!

Sir Jo and radio technician Khairoul setting up the system. The new conty looks more professional now!

How about it? Cool eh? =D

So many pictures in one post! So many stuffs went on in one day! And despite a few setbacks, what a fantastic day it was =) For more pictures of the event, just head on to our Facebook group!

So as you're enjoying your holidays, why not have a listen to your campus radio at any time, wherever you are around the world \^0^/

As always, keep sticking to IIUM.fm, Your Campus Radio =)

Assalamualaikum beautiful people!


Another short semester has gradually come to an end. It was a short yet sweet journey for most of us with the calmer and more relaxed atmosphere in the land of IIUM.
