MENGHABISKAN SISA HIDUP DI UIM
elahiran UIM di Cyberjaya wajar menjadi kebanggaan umat Islam di Malaysia
kerana ia merupakan kesinambungan Kolej Islam Malaya, sebuah institusi
Kyang diwakafkan oleh Raja-raja Melayu dalam tahun 50-an. Kewujudan UIM
memberi impak ke arah meninggikan syiar Islam di negara kita. Ia bukan sahaja
meningkatkan keilmuan tetapi mempelopori usaha pembentukan insan yang
berhikmah, bijaksana atau wisdom.
Sebagaimana universiti lain, UIM juga mampu menyediakan kemudahan yang diperlukan seperti
perpustakaan, bilik perbincangan dan sebagainya. Profesornya juga terdiri daripada mereka yang
berpengalaman luas yang pernah berkhidmat di universiti terkemuka dalam dan luar negara.
Sebagai seorang penuntut yang berpeluang mengikuti pengajian di sini, saya merasakan UIM amat
istimewa kerana lokasinya terletak berhampiran ibu negara Kuala Lumpur dan berjiran dengan pusat
pentadbiran negara Putrajaya. Ia di kelilingi oleh UKM, UPM dan UNITEN dan lain-lain. Sudah pasti
perkongsian maklumat dan ilmu dapat dilakukan.
Saya berpendapat UIM boleh menjadi pilihan kepada penjawat awam yang berkelayakan untuk
mengikuti kursus lanjutan peringkat Master dan PhD. Demikian juga pesara dan warga emas boleh
memenuhi sisa-sisa hidup menyelami ilmu Allah, menyambut seruan, “Tuntutlah ilmu dari ayunan ibu
hingga ke liang lahad”.
