In his sermon to the KKN participants, Ustaz Akhmad Hanafi reminded his students of the STIBA campus’s slogan: Dakwah and Struggle. He emphasized that as students, and later as alumni, their value would be judged based on their contributions to the propagation of the faith and the struggle for its cause.

Ustaz Akhmad also discussed the stages of learning, emphasizing that knowledge has two stages: marhalatul idkhal and marhalatul ikhraj. He expressed hope that the KKN participants would maintain the distinctive characteristic of STIBA KKN, which is its emphasis on dakwah.

According to the Head of P3M, Ustaz Dr. Khairul Akbar, STIBA Makassar has chosen the form of KKN Pengabdian this year, which is different from the previous two years’ models, which were the Research-Based KKN and Humanitarian KKN.
