HOW about the Islamic Movement in campus?

The Islamic movement in campus today seem to be near to disappear. Even though the pro-opposition movement in campus were said as a bequeathed of the Islamic movement of PAS, but the reality is, the features of Islam in the movement were slowly lost from its way. The leaders sometimes too busy managing the political issues in campus or the administration issues in campus but they were forgotten to do something that can increase the number of Muslim warriors for the future.

Maybe because of this reason, there are some splits and some efforts with not known by the initial movement. The effort I mean is, the effort of organising or launching a new group, a new movement which also struggle for Islamic life. This was happened in UM. The split of PMI or Persatuan Mahasiswa Islam, that is al-Manna, was unsatisfied with the way of PMI does. Even though we know that this al-Manna was actually crazy of position and want the followers for itself, but we must think that the reason that I’ve stated above can be the one of the doubts we should analyse.

Sometimes, for the non-understanding people who want Islam obviously, they will feel unsatisfied when saw the way of we doing politics was too much. So, they will join the more Islamic movement in their opinion such as ISMA, JIM, HT, TABLIGH and so on. Eventually, they will realise soon that this movement can’t ever give them help and can’t ever promise them to build an Islamic way of life in campus as these new movements are only know how to do and how to say but they do not perform it and practise it. You don’t believe? See soon.

Okay. So, to get it on the most correct way, any Islamic movement in campus that sit under PAS must have efforts to create more Islamic programs and organising more Islamic works in campus. Activities must always mention about Islam and must clever to attract the new students so that they will see us as an exact movement of Islam in campus. Don’t just let them see us as pro-opposition but the most important one is let them see us as an Islamic movement. So, that’s the way. Some committees must be appointed to conduct this heavy duty and the others keep running on struggling to make cooperation with non-Muslims and struggling for students’ rights.
