All the best wishes..

Today,my youngest son Munir joined a local univerity college to pursue his education to become a civil engineer. As a father I am glad that he decided to follow my foot steps to be a professional.I am indeed a happy man and grateful to Allah swt for His mercy upon him.May Allah guide him to seek knowledge that will benefit him personally and mankind in general.

Munir,
Today is the starting date for you to get a degree in civil engineering.From my personal experience, you will be exposed to basic foundamentals of engineering subjects that are relevant to your discipline.InsyaAllah, in four and half years from now you will graduate and start your career.From then on, you will work and hopefully you will learn from your experience and gains knowledge.

Today also is the first day that you begin your life to live in a hostel with other fellow students.For the last 17 years of your life,you live with your family.Naturally, you will miss your family; so are your mother and me. To pursue a goal, we all need to make some sacrifices in one way or another.C'est la vie..

If you remember some seven years ago,I wrote a letter to you before we celebrated your 11th birthday. If my memory is right, I wrote that I wished you will remain my 10-year old boy forever. That is how much we love you...but that is very selfish of me. You are now a fine young man.I am glad you grow up and please be informed that I am always available whenever you need a guide and a friend.

That is all for today.By the way,you know my mobile phone number and my email;-)

My best wishes to you my son,Munir.

Dear Pak Adib,

A touching note from father to son. Shows the depth of love. Had a lump in my throat after reading the letter to 10-year old Munir. Wished hubby and i can be good parents to our children as you are to yours....

To Munir..Syabas!..young man!.. We pray for your success all the way..

Ask yourself, are you prepared when the time comes for you to take up the mantle and show the way for a bright future??..
