  • Collaboration between STIBA and Hadji Kalla Foundation: Sending 15 Young Dai to Four Provinces

    Collaboration between STIBA and Hadji Kalla Foundation: Sending 15 Young Dai to Four Provinces

    (STIBA.ac.id) Makassar – STIBA Makassar, in collaboration with the Hadji Kalla Foundation (YHK), has implemented the Tebar Dai program during Ramadan 1444 H. Fifteen dai who are students of STIBA Makassar were placed in foster villages spread across four provinces, namely South Sulawesi, West Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, and Southeast Sulawesi. They will serve as prayer leaders, teach tahsin, and preach Islamic enlightenment.

    The selected dai have been dispatched to their respective regions from the Meeting Room of STIBA last week. The Head of Public Relations and Cooperation of STIBA Makassar, Ustaz Muhammad Istiqamah, Lc., M.A., said that the collaboration between YHK and STIBA in implementing this program has been carried out twice. He hopes that Tebar Dai can succeed again in its implementation this year.

    “We certainly hope that the collaboration with the Hadji Kalla Foundation can be carried out successfully. Our young dai who serve in foster villages can also be accepted by the community where they are stationed,” he said on Monday, March 27, 2023.

    One of the young dai, a student of the Comparative Mazhab study program at STIBA, Muhammad Farid, said that he was assigned to Kurrak Village, Polewali Mandar Regency. He stated that he had prepared himself to lead the Tarawih prayer and deliver religious sermons.

    “I am personally ready for this noble task and hope to be accepted by the community. I have been practicing my recitation during the preparation period. Hopefully, I can carry out the tasks from the Hadji Kalla Foundation and the campus well,” he said.

    Farid’s routine during this early Ramadan is teaching children in the village to read and write the Quran. For him, in addition to delivering Tarawih sermons and leading prayers, teaching children is the most enjoyable part of his task.

    Therefore, YHK continues its collaboration program this year.

    “We entrust great hope to the young dai that we will dispatch today to bring benefits to the community through preaching. They will carry the good name of the Hadji Kalla Foundation and STIBA to be better known by the public as an institution that brings benefits to the wider community,” he said.

    The following are the list of YHK’s foster villages that serve as the locations for the implementation of the Tebar Dai Ramadan program, namely Sering Village (Soppeng), Kurrak Village (Polman), Sumarrang Village (Polman), Bonelemo Utara Village (Luwu).

    Then, Bababinanga Village (Pinrang), Suruang Village (Polman), Tajo Village (Wajo), Parombean Village (Enrekang), Tosale Village (Donggala), Powelua Village (Donggala). Next, Toddolimae Village (Maros), Tanampedagi Village (Parigi Moutong), Kolo Tourism Village (Wakatobi), Kabita Togo Village (Wakatobi), and Kapota Utara Village (Wakatobi).

    (STIBA.ac.id) Makassar – The Human Resources Development Division of the Women’s Journalistic Student Organization (UKM Jurnalistik Putri) at STIBA Makassar organized a Writing Training event. The chosen theme for this activity was Spreading Islamic Preaching through Scientific Writing in the Digital Era.

    During the event, the speaker guided the participants in honing their skills in writing scientific papers. Ustazah Anita also shared tips on how to write good and proper scientific papers. Additionally, she encouraged the participants to read extensively because reading allows us to observe events happening in society. From these events, we can generate ideas and improve our writing skills.

    “Read a lot, because writing is about expressing our thoughts. Therefore, before writing, we need to have substance in our minds, which can be acquired through reading books or keeping up with news developments and other sources of information that serve as preparation for what we want to write. And most importantly, what we write should benefit the community, especially in this era of information technology advancement,” she expressed to the participants during the training.

    The training was attended by 68 participants, consisting of 22 new officers of the Women’s Journalistic Student Organization and the remaining students of STIBA Makassar. It is hoped that after attending this training, the participants will be able to develop their writing skills, provide them with knowledge in writing, and enhance their writing abilities.

  • STIBA KKN VI Students from Moncongloe District Forms 36 Al-Qur’an Study Groups in Four Villages

    STIBA KKN VI Students from Moncongloe District Forms 36 Al-Qur’an Study Groups in Four Villages

    (STIBA.ac.id) Maros – The Work Practice Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata/KKN) VI students of STIBA in Moncongloe sub-district collaborated with the Muslimah Wahdah Branch (MWC) Moncongloe to hold a Grand Muslimah Study (Pengajian Akbar Muslimah/PAM) for the sub-district.

    Ustazah Andi Mirnawati S.Pd., M.Pd., as the speaker and supervisor of LKPM MWW South Sulawesi, delivered a message to 109 Muslimah attendees at this Grand Muslimah Study that a mother is the first madrasah (school) for her children. Therefore, a mother should be able to read Al-Qur’an well so that blessings can come down to the houses that often recite Al-Qur’an in them.

    “Therefore, the presence of KKN VI students from STIBA Makassar in Moncongloe sub-district should be welcomed with open arms. Open the doors as wide as possible to be utilized during their presence for approximately two months ahead, one of which is by actively participating in the Qur’an halakah (study circle),” she said.

    Until now, KKN VI students have successfully formed 36 Qur’an halakahs in four villages, namely Moncongloe, Moncongloe Lappara, Bonto Bunga, and Bonto Marannu. There are 594 TKQ/TPQ students who are nurtured and learning at mosques spread throughout Moncongloe sub-district and KKN posts.

  • Sending Its Students to Participate in the Community Service Program (KKN), STIBA Makassar’s Chairman Provided Four Advice

    Sending Its Students to Participate in the Community Service Program (KKN), STIBA Makassar’s Chairman Provided Four Advice

    (STIBA.ac.id) Makassar – Hundreds of STIBA Makassar students departed to their respective locations for the KKN program this morning, Thursday (02/02/2023). The day before, the Chairman of STIBA Makassar, Ustaz Akhmad Hanafi Dain Yunta, Lc., M.A., Ph.D., officially released them in a ceremony held at Anas bin Malik Mosque.

    On that occasion, the chairman of STIBA gave four advice as provisions for students who will carry out the KKN program this year.

    First Advice: Purify intentions

    Dakwah (Islamic preaching) is the hallmark of the STIBA Makassar student KKN program that distinguishes it from other college. Dakwah is an act of worship and therefore requires pure intentions for the sake of Allah.

    “The consequence of sincerity will be reflected in our daily lives in carrying out this dakwah. In order for our dakwah to be accepted by the community, the key is sincerity, ‘qul hadzihi sabili ad’u ilallah’… We invite people not to join Wahdah or join STIBA en masse, not to join organizations, let alone for personal interests. No! But to invite them to Allah. Therefore, sincerity will be the measure,” said Ustaz Akhmad Hanafi, Chairman of STIBA Makassar.

    Furthermore, he said that the stronger the foundation of knowledge, the stronger knowledge will direct someone to be sincere. He then quoted the words of Sufyan ats-Tsauri rahimahullah that initially, he sought knowledge for other purposes, but it turned out that knowledge led him to be solely sincere for the sake of Allah.

    “Sincerity is the key. If we are already sincere, no matter how big the challenges are, it is for Allah. It is different if it is not for Allah, there will be disappointment, and many negative emotions. Especially when you are in a group, there may be one group that is more favored by the community than the other. If someone is not sincere in seeing this phenomenon, there will be obstacles in the heart. Envy and suspicion will arise. Sincerity will also be seen when we interact with the community. Insincere people will selectively attend only certain people’s invitations,” explained Ustaz Akhmad regarding the meaning of sincerity and its examples.

    The Second Theme: Moral and Etiquette

    One of the keys to the acceptance and even the eagerly awaited presence of STIBA KKN students is their adab and manners.

    “Dakwah will succeed if we strive to be people who have good adab and manners. This is our distinguishing value. If other people bring guitars and cigarettes to KKN, then if we prepare good character to accompany us,” explained Mudir.

    He also raised the story of Muadz bin Jabal’s appointment by the Prophet Muhammad shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam to Yemen. At that time, according to Ustaz Akhmad, the Prophet while holding the reins of Mu’adz’s mount, conveyed several messages. One of them was hassin khuluqaka linnaas (improve your manners towards people).

    “No matter how great our dakwah methods and rhetoric are, if our manners are not good, it will be multiplied by zero,” Ustaz Akhmad emphasized.

    The Deputy Chairman of the Sharia Council of WI also gave a special message to female students (akhwat).

    “For female students, especially those who wear veils, visually they are already obscured, veiled. People will feel reluctant to interact with us. They consider us as people who cannot interact comfortably. If people have already kept their distance from us, and our manners and behavior are not good, then people will further distance themselves from us. Wearing a veil does not mean that you cannot interact, or show good things in society. If female students can provide a good example, then that is what will be ingrained in society,” explained Ustaz.

    Third Message: Understanding Each Other and Not Showing Disputes

    When Mu’adz bin Jabal and Abu Musa al-Asy’ari radhiyallahu anhuma departed to Yemen, the Prophet Muhammad shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam also conveyed several messages. One of them was tathawa’a wala takhtalifa (understand each other and do not show disputes).

    Both Mu’adz and Abu Musa were great companions. But the Prophet reminded them to understand each other and not show disputes in the midst of society.

    “You will preach together, so there will inevitably be differences between each other. But try to find a middle ground, a point of convergence between disputes, and most importantly, do not show disputes in the midst of society. We cannot avoid disputes because they can happen, but the most important thing is how to deal with differences of opinion. Try to understand each other,” Ustaz Akhmad hoped.

    Fourth Message: Representing STIBA

    KKN students carry the image of the institution on their shoulders. They are ambassadors in society. Even a slight negative value arising from their behavior will have an impact on the institution’s reputation.

    Regarding this, Ustaz Akhmad Hanafi quoted a verse from the Quran, Surah Al-Ahzab verse 58, which means,

    “And those who harm believing men and believing women for [something] other than what they have earned have certainly born upon themselves a slander and manifest sin.”

    “We have many shortcomings. Do not let the effect of your actions become a bad image for our institution in society,” he concluded.

    As many as 218 students, consisting of 104 male students and 114 female students, were sent off today, Thursday (02/02), to two districts in Gowa and Maros. In Gowa, STIBA KKN VI students were spread across two sub-districts, Tinggimoncong and Tombolopao. Meanwhile, in Maros, they were concentrated in Moncongloe District.

    STIBA Makassar Chairman Dr. Akhmad Hanafi Dain Yunta expressed his utmost gratitude in his speech to the local government officials who provided access and facilities for STIBA students to carry out KKN in the Moncongloe sub-district of Maros Regency.

    “The villages in Moncongloe have a right to be neighbors that must be given because geographically this sub-district is very close to STIBA Makassar,” he said.

    Regarding the different appearance of students, especially female students, from the majority of the local community, the STIBA Chairman urged his students not to be exclusive and create barriers with the local community and to show noble morals to them.

    When giving his speech, the Camat of Moncongloe expressed his happiness that his sub-district had been chosen as one of the KKN locations for STIBA from among many sub-districts in Maros Regency.

    “Welcome to the KKN participants. We have great hope for the STIBA Makassar KKN participants to not isolate themselves from the community and to be able to collaborate with the local government in providing religious guidance to the people of Moncongloe,” he hoped.

    The welcoming event ended with the symbolic handover of the KKN participants from STIBA Makassar’s Chairman to the Camat of Moncongloe.

    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.
