Presenting: The Muslim Society (MSOC) of International Medical University’s Blog

Assalamualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarakatuh.

Finally, after many many months of construction, rebuilding, editing, abandoning, adding, shifting and throwing off this and that, the blog is back. For big fans of the blog, this must surely be good news to all of you.

But for those who do not know of this blog, a simple answer to the question in your mind is – yes, the blog exists. (^_^)

Surely by now you’ve noticed several obvious changes made to the new blog. The greetings, the asma’ul husna, the Islamic calendar, the digital clock, even some words of wisdom for the day.

However, this new edition of msocimu.blogspot.com not only comes with a new look, but also with a defined new motive. From now on, the blog readily serves as a communication medium for all Muslim students of IMU. Here, we encourage students from various different batches to interact with each other by sharing as much knowledge, experiences, thoughts and opinions as possible.

To make it easier for everyone, the blog is separated into a number of LABELS (categories). You are most welcomed to contribute in either which that best suits your time and preferences:

1. General Announcements

You can post any important announcements here, be it a message, or an upcoming activity, or a talk, or just about anything you wish to inform everyone else.
(Birthday wishes are not really encouraged though, because if that’s the case then we’ll have hundreds of ‘important announcements’ throughout the whole year. heh).

2. Articles

Have flair in writing? Why not join us by sharing with us one of your amazing pieces. Remember, it doesn’t have to be lengthy, or formal, and there aren’t any specific topics. You have absolute freedom in whatever you wish to write. As long as the article benefits others, it will nevertheless be very much worth reading. However, writings that are considered inappropriate will be deleted by moderators of the blog.

3. Seniors’ Advices (IMU Bukit Jalil)

Seniors: “I’ve finished exams!! I feel like telling the whole world!! “

Juniors: “Oh god. Exams. Oh no.”

Ok, here’s the thing. Seniors, write whatever you wish to tell the hopeful juniors when it’s still fresh in your mind. Tips for exams, careless but common mistakes not to be repeated, important details to be memorised, you can write them all here. (Dont wait for them to ask, most of the time, they don’t know what to ask)

And juniors, this is your chance, ask whatever you want to ask – Summatives, OSPE, OSCE, EOS, CSU, notes - before it’s too late.

InsyaAllah, the more you give, the more you get (^_^)

4. Seniors’ Advices (PMS)

At some point of time, we wonder, what’s next after IMU? But there’s no one to ask. Here, we humbly ask for assistance, advices or some sharing of experiencing from seniors who’re studying abroad in Partner Medical Schools. Any piece of information is utterly valuable and very much appreciated. Since we haven’t been able to contact most of the seniors from the upper batches, the honour goes to seniors from medt107 and m207 who are scheduled to further their studies abroad this year. We would also ask for you to spread the word to any of the seniors from the upper batches to help participate and become an author for this category of the blog. As a representative of MSOC, I’d thank you in advance for your kind help.

5. Seniors’ Advices (IMU Seremban)

Please read no.4. However, this category is specifically reserved for seniors in IMU Seremban. We look forward for their kind cooperation too.

6. Photos

A category for photographers, people with cameras or even just picture lovers. However, there are some rules to be followed:

• Photos of activities must have at least 4 members of the society
• Photos of nature, scenery, etc are allowed.
• Inappropriate photos will be deleted by moderators of the blog

7. Question and Answers

If you have a random question to ask about Islam, please post it under this label.

8. Comments and Suggestions

We welcome any comments and suggestions to help us improve the blog, or even anything regarding the Muslim Society.
