Alhamdulillah, we're reaching the end of semester soon. Throughout the whole period of this course, we have absorbed and learned so many information and things we never knew before. In a way, we have certainly changed as well, personally and academically. This course (interestingly) has integrated a lot of Islamic values that we normally do not practice in other classes (no intention of over-complimenting).
From the very beginning of this class, we always start by reciting Al-Fatihah and adjourn it with Surah Al Asr and Tasbih
Kafarah.

In this class, discussion
is also conducted in the form of “musyawarah” instead of just one-way communication. Each person’s opinions matters and we are more than welcome to contribute
and participate in the discussion. Sometimes, if our opinion differs from one
another, we always opt for healthy debate instead of verbally attack each
other's credibility.
Apart from that, all assignments are handed out to be completed as
a group work. Therefore, we have become
close to one another because
of the work that bonds us together. Although sometimes we did argue as how to
divide the work, but our teamwork has improved over the course of this
semester.
Another Islamic value that we learn is to appreciate time and be responsible towards the work given. Because we
work as a group, each one of us needs to be able to complete the tasks divided within
the time frame. Yes, we were
off track sometimes but we constantly keep reminding one another of our
datelines. This further helps us develop our character to become a more
responsible individual. (We have to watch each other’s back!)
Other value that we learn is to respect
the role of a teacher. Using CALL in the teaching lesson does not
necessarily remove the importance of a teacher. In fact, teacher is still
relevant as a primary source of knowledge and
the CALL is merely an aid that helps the teacher to teach his/her students.
Supervision of a teacher is also important when using CALL because it will
ensure its effectiveness on the learning process.
All in all, there are a lot of other Islamic values taught in this course, but these are among that we deem very crucial and very basic that everyone should know. :)
Individual Perspectives
Athirah bt Mortada
Life is a never ending ending process of learning. Through all the hardships,
always bear in mind that;
"Allah will not burden a soul unless he can withstand
it".
Ku 'Aisyahtul Radhiah bt Ku Abdul Razak
There is no ultimate goal in life except to serve Allah. Often
remind yourselves and call to him in your prayer:
And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad],
concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant
when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in
Me that they may be [rightly] guided.
Siti Zahidah bt Sheikh Ahmed Zaki
Allah has bestowed upon us sufficient rizq to live this world.
Live your life and utilize all that He has given you in the right way.
And spend in the way of Allah and do not throw
[yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]. And do
good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good. (Surah Baqarah: 195)
Sara bt Ahmad Shahir
Allah will help you in any difficulties that you face. Put your
trust in Him and always believe and serve Him.
O you who have believed, seek help through
patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient. (Surah
Baqarah: 153)
