On sunday afternoon, October 19th. the atmosphere at Universitas Muhammadiyah Tangerang felt different. In several classrooms, students gathered with serious yet calm expressions. They weren’t attending regular lectures, but rather the Ittiba’ orientation a preparation session before the exam on Qur’an memorization and Muhammadiyah studies. Without any opening or closing ceremony, the activity began right away with lectures delivered by the instructors.
Each classroom had its own distinct vibe. Some lecturers explained in detail the values of Muhammadiyah teachings, while others guided students through Qur’an recitations slowly and patiently. The sound of verses being recited echoed from different directions, creating a solemn yet warm atmosphere in the midst of the hot afternoon.
Some students were seen taking notes on key points from the lecturers’ explanations, while others engaged in small discussions to deepen their understanding. Although the activity lasted quite a long time from noon until late afternoon the participants’ enthusiasm remained strong. Many said that this orientation helped them understand the essence of Ittiba’ not merely as an exam, but as a reminder of how knowledge and faith should walk hand in hand.
