Being a committee

Assalamualaikum peeps!

It has been a while and I have this thing bugging me to share to the whole wide world!


It's about the benefits and cons of being a committee in an organization.

Here in my college residence building, the rooms are divided into smaller groups called hisbah. Since I was in semester 1, I've been holding a post as the Da'wah and Tarbiah bureau in my hisbah until now, semester 3 (first year). To be honest, I am really the type that like to hold a position ever since from my secondary school years. I just can't stand sitting around swaying legs like I have nothing better to do.

So, holding this post has involved me into so many activities with me as one of the committee members and the positions I got changed for every activities we did.

Some activities were under my hisbah program while the others were from my Da'wah and Tarbiah (DnT) members from the whole residence building.

There were lots of them from semester 1, but the one that keeps burning on my mind is our preparation to celebrate Eid Fetr Day in the building. The preparation was devided to hisbahs, and my hisbah had to make nasi himpit (the kuah and others we ordered it from outside vendors). We had so much fun working together, our fellow bought bags of rice and plastic bags. So we put the rice equally inside the plastic bags and stapled them and holed them with forks while tightened our ukhwah together. After that, we boiled the rice in the plastic bags in a huge kawah filled with boiled water! Im sure outside the college I won't experience that kind of thing!

During the fasting months also we had to managed the solat tarawih so everyday we had to unrolled mats on our open hall (we call it ZC Square) then we had to prepare some refreshments after they have done praying. One thing here is that we practised on how to serve the food properly so it looks more appetizing and yeah, proper.


The latest event we (DnT) had conducted was a talk entitled Walk Towards The Path Of Light: Second Chance. And guess what? I was given a post as the Program Manager!

Honestly, I don't know how to work as a manager, but my head head DnT sure taught me a lot. and my fellow was awesome too! My other committee members not to mention were so competent in handling so many tasks. I thought I did nothing that I was afraid being called as 'useless PM'. Ok alright. Long story short, the event was a huge success!!!

So many people came and we were short of chairs and even though there were some mishaps but things were superb!!

and I can't believe I handled that. LOL.


So, the point of me telling this is that being a committee here has taught me a lot of things. I learnt how to communicate, how to handle things wisely, how to be responsible and the most important is on how to cooperate with other people.

Because sometimes, not all people are of the same mind as us, so we need skills on how to tackle miscommunications or other problems that involved interactions.


I feel so proud I've done a huge achievement myself because at home you can't experience this kind of things. This things is so ... It's hard to find. It's something that you have to feel it yourself.

Till then, assalam 'alaik!
