HISTORY UNREVEALED : FROM ZERO TO HERO

7 years ago (in the year 2001)…

2 years living in Kuantan was sufficient for me to conclude that our society especially the teenagers in the East Coast were at the critical stage. Having seen a lot of cases in the hospital which involved this age group (as early as the age of 12) in various ‘fields’ of social problems like escape from the house, smoking, alcohol abuse, intravenous drug use and sexual promiscuity; made me think and ponder on the prognosis of the next generation. Surely, it would be a poor prognosis if this situation persisted without any intervention or effort to resolve and prevent it.

Realizing the urgent need of da’i, a few of friends with me agreed to establish a team which can be a platform for the students of IIUM Kuantan Campus to reach the community through various programs. Alhamdulillah, with little knowledge and experience as well as after all the obstacles and difficulties, we finally managed to establish a team called Facilitator Team (Faci Team) in IIUM Kuantan Campus. This team was the first non-Kulliyyah based organization established in IIUM Kuantan Campus.

Since the establishment, Faci Team was very active in organizing various types of programs including school motivational programs, leadership programs, summer camp etc. We had programs with the community in at least once per month. It was exhausting because at the same time we had to unconditionally concentrate to the primary responsibility as students. Nevertheless, it was a great satisfaction after each program; the indescribable feeling of having contributing something good for the development of the next generation, with the hope of this small contribution will be counted by Allah S.W.T as our good deed that will protect us from the hellfire.

Currently, I’m a Medical Officer in Pediatric Department in Hospital Muar. Even though I am no longer in Kuantan, but the spirit of Faci Team will always be with me. I will always pray for your success. Once you are a Faci Team member, then you’ll be one forever…InsyaAllah...
