Putri Azkia Won Second Place in MHQ Competition at UGM's 2024 MTQ League

Yogyakarta, September 22, 2024 – Putri Azkia Nisfiatul Laili, a student of Arabic Study Program at the Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), has achieved her first major milestone at the university level. Competing in the 2024 Musabaqah Tilawatil Qur’an (MTQ) League organized by the MTQ UGM Community, Azkia secured second place in the Musabaqah Hifdzil Qur’an (MHQ) category.

The competition was held as a preparatory event to select UGM’s delegation for the 17th National Student MTQ (MTQMN XVII) in 2025. It featured various branches of Qur’anic competitions and attracted hundreds of participants from different faculties across UGM.

The MHQ branch was divided into three categories: 10 juz, 20 juz, and 30 juz. Azkia competed in the 20-juz category, where participants were tested on their memorization from Juz 1 to Juz 20 using murattal recitation. During the competition, she confidently answered all questions posed by the judges in front of a live audience. Despite initial doubts due to limited preparation time and tight competition, her dedication and effort led her to secure second place, surpassing many other contestants. As a first-year student, Azkia admitted she did not expect to compete successfully against more senior participants.

Expressing her gratitude for the award, Azkia highlighted the importance of confidence and personal growth. “This competition not only challenged my skills but also taught me the importance of self-confidence and quality in facing challenges,” she stated.

Azkia’s achievement not only brought pride to the Arabic Literature Program but also aligned with the values of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4: Quality Education. Her success is expected to inspire other students to continue contributing in the field of Qur’anic studies and beyond. This milestone marks the beginning of what promises to be a bright journey for Azkia in promoting the values of the Qur’an and uplifting the university’s reputation on both national and international stages.

Yogyakarta, April 16, 2025 – The Arabic Study Student Association (IKMASA) held a post-Ramadan gathering event titled Ikmasa Balalan 2025 at Soegondo Building, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada. Taking place from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM WIB, the event acted as a valuable opportunity for spiritual reflection and strengthening bonds between students and lecturers of the Arabic Study Department after the holy month of Ramadan 1446 H.

The event opened with remarks from the Master of Ceremony, followed by the reading of Syawalan pledges delivered by representatives from each academic year, starting from the 2021 to 2024 cohorts. A solemn atmosphere filled the room as Muhammad Ardiansyah (2021), Shang Narendra (2022), Faris Zaky Ramadhan (2023), and Haris Arfakhsyadz Azka Maula Harapan (2024) took turns to deliver the pledges. The Syawalan pledge continued with a heartfelt delivery by Abdul Jawat Nur, S.S., M.Hum., representing the lecturers of the department.

The Syawalan pledge was more than just a ceremonial act—it served as a sacred moment of mutual forgiveness for any past wrongdoings, whether between fellow students or between students and lecturers. The essence of sincerity, unity, and familial bonds was deeply felt throughout the session.

The main event was the tausiyah delivered by Dr. Nur Kholid, M.Pd.I., who shared post-Ramadan insights and emphasized the importance of maintaining spiritual growth during the month of Syawal. He discussed the deeper meaning of the commonly heard phrase “Minal-‘Ā`idīn wal-Fā`iżīn”, the significance of Syawal as a month of personal elevation, and the noble pursuit of becoming a pious individual.

The event concluded with a closing prayer led by Abdul Jawat Nur, S.S., M.Hum., followed by a group photo session and muṣāfaḥah—the traditional greeting and expression of forgiveness among participants. Warmth and camaraderie were evident in the interactions between students and lecturers.

Through Ikmasa Balalan 2025, IKMASA successfully fostered deeper spiritual understanding and reinforced the spirit of togetherness during this blessed Syawal moment.

Two Arabic Students Intern at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Berita (inggris)Uncategorized Saturday, 15 February 2025

Jakarta, 10 July 2024 – Two students of the UGM Arabic Study Program joined an internship program at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for 3 months from April to June 2024. The two students were placed in two different directorates, namely the Directorate of Protocol and the Directorate of Protection of Indonesian Citizens (WNI).

The first student, Eurrydice Setianingroem was placed in the Protocol Directorate. During her Internship, Eurry was involved in various tasks related to diplomatic relations, diplomatic reception, and diplomatic administration. This experience is expected to provide practical insights into the way protocol is applied in various diplomatic events and activities. According to her, “Interning at the Protocol Directorate gave me the opportunity to see first-hand how diplomacy is carried out and meet important people of course. This experience is very valuable and I will make it a provision for my future career.”

Meanwhile, the second student, Aisyah Dina, was placed in the Directorate of Protection of Indonesian Citizens (WNI). Aisyah was involved in various aspects of protection and support for Indonesian citizens abroad, including handling cases, case documents and providing legal assistance. Aisyah gained an understanding and insight into the challenges faced by Indonesian citizens abroad especially in the Middle East and how the Ministry of Foreign Affairs plays a role in protecting their rights. This is in line with efforts to achieve SDG 16, namely peace, justice and strong institutions.

Dengan terlibat langsung dalam kegiatan di Kemenlu, kedua mahasiswa ini diharapkan dapat mengaplikasikan pengetahuan yang mereka peroleh di bangku kuliah ke dalam praktik nyata, serta mengembangkan keterampilan yang akan berguna dalam karier masa depan mereka. Mereka tidak hanya mendapatkan pengalaman praktis yang berharga, tetapi juga berkontribusi secara langsung dalam proses diplomasi dan perlindungan warga negara yang merupakan elemen penting dalam mencapai tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan.

By being directly involved in activities at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, these two students are expected to apply the knowledge they have gained in college into real practice, as well as develop skills that will be useful in their future careers. They will not only gain valuable practical experience, but also contribute directly to the process of diplomacy and citizen protection, which are important elements in achieving sustainable development goals.
