"And those who believe, men and women, some of them become helpers for others. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is evil, perform prayers, pay zakat and they obey His Messenger. They are given mercy by Allah and verily Allah is the Mighty, the Wise." (QS. At Taubah: 7)

Mosaic on Vacation (MoV) is an activity carried out by a combination of the PSDM (Muslim Resource Development) division and the MDPR MOSAIC (Moslem Students Association of Economic and Business Faculty) bureau to hold an external work visit and comparative study to connect and strengthen the Islamic Brotherhood between fellow MOSAIC administrators and the Islamic Spirituality Section outside Surabaya. In addition to the work visit, in this series of MoV events, there is also an agenda of rihlah (Arabic: الرحلة‎, literally meaning "Journey") to one of the recreational places to contemplate nature while aiming to reduce fatigue from organizational activities.

This MoV was held during the MOSAIC management period on Sunday, September 22, 2018, in Malang City, East Java. During this period, the Islamic Spirituality Study Program outside Surabaya was conducted at SKI Forstilling, Faculty of Economics and Business, Brawijaya University, Malang. This activity was also held as a comparative study discussing 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 with a discussion of the problems of da'wah between each packaged in a group discussion forum. From this activity, it can strengthen the Islamic brotherhood between MOSAIC and Forstilling FEB UB and improve a strong Islamic climate not only by getting to know each other but also by understanding each other and lightening each other's burdens by exchanging knowledge and experiences in da'wah efforts within the campus academic community.

In addition to external work visits and comparative studies with SKI FEB UB, MOSAIC also conducted a rihlah or trip to Batu Night Spectacular (BNS) located in Batu City, East Java, which aims to relieve fatigue in the midst of organizational management. During the trip and the realization of this rihlah activity, ice breaking in the form of games that have the essence of brotherhood. This is intended to strengthen the harmony and solidarity of MOSAIC's internal members. In addition to the games, there was also a brief presentation of material by the MOSAIC Cadre Board or the General Chairperson and Chairperson of the 2016 MOSAIC Division about the importance of maintaining ukhuwah and internal solidarity which was intended as advice so that cadres who will continue the relay of da'wah can realize MOSAIC even better in the future.

As the times are increasingly swept away by globalization, fewer and fewer people are aware of the importance of upholding religion and faith. The problems of da'wah have become increasingly complex in this era of globalization, but this cannot be used as an excuse to dampen the spirit of da'wah among Campus Da'wah Institutions in upholding Allah's religion, calling to what is good and forbidding what is evil among the campus academic community. "A time will come upon mankind when those who hold fast to their religion will be like those holding on to a burning ember." (Narrated by Tirmidhi, no. 2260)
