Salam alaikum, Last week was the last week for lectures and showed that we are getting nearer to final examinations and major assignments are due soon. This week is the study week where there will be no classes as students can focus on their study for the preparation for final examination. Therefore, VicMuslims Club conducted an event of Salatul Hajat. This was one way of us to make dua' and effort, the last resort is to tawakkal (relying on Allah to let Him decide what is best for us). And Alhamdulillah, the event went well as our President lead the event and provide a short tazkirah as a reminder on what we should be as a student and also a Muslim. We were also thankful to those who brought meals and to be shared with others. We hope, everyone can get through this first trimester successful and manage to face final paper without any trouble. InsyaAllah. ................................................ Details of the event: Date: 3 June 2016 Day: Friday Time: 5:00pm - 7...
