MOSAIC on VACATION 2018

"And those who believe, men and women, some of them are helpers for others. They command the right and forbid the evil, establish prayer, pay zakat and they obey His Messenger. They are given mercy by Allah and indeed Allah is Mighty, Wise.” (Surat At-Taubah: 7)

Mosaic on Vacation (MoV) is an activity carried out by a combination of the PSDM division (Muslim Resource Development) and the MDPR MOSAIC (Moslem Students Association of Economic and Business Faculty) bureau to hold an external working visit and comparative study to connect and strengthen Ukhuwah Islamiyah between fellow MOSAIC administrators and Islamic Religious Sie outside Surabaya. In addition to working visits, a series of MoV events are also scheduled (Arabic: اللة‎, literal meaning "Journey") to one of the recreational areas to explore nature while at the same time aiming to reduce fatigue from organizational activities.

This MoV was held in the middle of the MOSAIC management, which was precisely on Sunday, September 22, 2018 in Malang City, East Java. In this period, the study of Islamic Spirituality outside Surabaya was carried out at SKI Forstilling, Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Brawijaya, Malang. This activity was also held as a comparative study that discussed the problems of campus da'wah along with the ways and techniques of spreading da'wah among the campus academic community. In the beginning, it was opened with an introduction between MOSAIC and Forstilling FEB UB then continued by discussing the problems of da'wah between each which was packaged with group discussion forums. From this activity, we can strengthen ukhuwwah Islamiyah between MOSAIC and Forstilling FEB UB and increase a strong Islamic climate, not only getting to know each other but also being able to understand each other and ease the burden on each other by exchanging knowledge, and experience in da'wah efforts within the community. campus academics.

In addition to external working visits and comparative studies with SKI FEB UB, MOSAIC also carries out rihlah or trips to Batu Night Spectacular (BNS) located in Batu City, East Java which aims at the same time to relieve fatigue in the midst of organizational management. In its journey and the realization of this rihlah activity, it is also inserted ice breaker in the form of games simple, attractive, entertaining and has the essence of brotherhood. This is intended to strengthen the harmony and cohesiveness of the internal members of MOSAIC itself. Apart from being held games there was also a little material delivered by the MOSAIC Cadreization Council or the General Chair and Head of the 2016 MOSAIC Division about the importance of maintaining ukhuwah and internal cohesiveness which is intended as advice so that cadres who will continue the da'wah relay can make MOSAIC even better in the future.

Along with the times that are increasingly being dragged by the flow of globalization, causing fewer people to be aware of the importance of maintaining religion and faith. The problems of da'wah are becoming increasingly complex in this era of globalization but cannot be used as an excuse to reduce the spirit of da'wah among Campus Da'wah Institutions in upholding the religion of Allah, calling on the ma'ruf and preventing what is evil to the campus academic community. "An age will come to mankind, those who hold fast to their religion are like those who grasp the coals of fire.” (HR. Tirmidhi no. 2260)
