Overseas AL-WILDAN Batch 5: A Journey of Study and Worship at the Islamic University of Madinah
The Overseas AL-WILDAN ISLAMIC SCHOOL Batch 5 program has returned, filled with enthusiasm and profound meaning!
This exceptional event, organized by AL-WILDAN ISLAMIC SCHOOL, offers participants a golden opportunity to gain knowledge and firsthand experience at the Islamic University of Madinah (UIM). As one of Saudi Arabia’s most renowned campuses, UIM is a destination for thousands of Muslim students worldwide. Throughout the program, participants received not only academic instruction but also heart-touching spiritual guidance that strengthened their faith.
The Islamic University of Madinah is celebrated as a prestigious center for higher Islamic education, focusing on Sharia, the Qur’an, Hadith, Da’wah, and the Arabic language. Established in 1961, the campus is located just a short distance from the Prophet’s Mosque (Masjid Nabawi), creating a deeply religious and serene learning environment. It was here that the Overseas AL-WILDAN ISLAMIC SCHOOL Batch 5 participants had the unique chance to directly experience an authentic and disciplined Islamic educational atmosphere, all under the guidance of UIM’s renowned lecturers and scholars.
While in Madinah, participants engaged in a dynamic and meaningful series of activities. Upon arrival, they were welcomed with a campus orientation and an introduction to the academic culture at UIM. Participants then attended direct lectures and studies with UIM lecturers, gaining deep insights into various Islamic disciplines. Beyond academics, they toured the campus, exploring its faculties and modern facilities. A special highlight was participating in a muqobalah simulation, the UIM entrance exam, which provided a realistic look into the university’s admission process.
The Overseas AL-WILDAN program was not just focused on academics, it was meticulously designed to strengthen the participants’ spirituality. They had the blessed opportunity to perform Umrah and make pilgrimages to historic Islamic sites in Makkah, Madinah, and Thaif. This worship became a profound moment to fortify their faith and deeply embrace Islamic values directly in the holy land. The serene and solemn atmosphere of worshiping in the Masjid Nabawi and Masjidil Haram left an unforgettable impression on every participant.
The hallmark of the Overseas AL-WILDAN ISLAMIC SCHOOL program is its holistic combination of knowledge, worship, and character development. All activities were structured so participants not only understand Islamic theory but can also apply it in their daily lives. They were nurtured to be disciplined, responsible, and to embody leadership grounded in Islamic values. Furthermore, the program served as a platform to build a global network of ukhuwah (brotherhood), as participants interacted with students from around the world studying at UIM.
This experience serves as a powerful inspiration for future participants. To make the most of this incredible program, prospective students are encouraged to prepare early, especially in mastering the Arabic language and Qur’anic memorization. A sincere intention to seek knowledge and a passionate spirit for self-improvement are the most essential assets for this spiritual and academic journey.
Through the Overseas AL-WILDAN ISLAMIC SCHOOL Batch 5 program at UIM, participants learned that seeking knowledge is not merely about achievement, it is a profound means of drawing closer to Allah and bringing Islamic values to life.
This learning experience in the holy city will remain a cherished memory and a vital milestone for a new generation of Muslim leaders, knowledgeable, virtuous, and dedicated to da’wah. We hope this program continues to thrive and benefit many more students across Indonesia.
