We at MIMA would like to wish Salam Maulidur Rasul to all Muslims around the globe. Given the theme for this year, "Manhaj Rabbani, Ummah Berkualiti", remember a quote from Prophet Muhammad:
"Be kind, for whenever kindness becomes part of something, it beautifies it. Whenever it is taken from something, it leaves it tarnished."
