The Muslim Students Association (MSA) at the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences (MUBAS) has been challenged to use their education to create meaningful change in society.
This comes after the association hosted a farewell event at Hapuwani Lodge in Mulanje, a celebration marking the transition of graduating students into the next phase of their careers.
Speaking at the event, graduate Mustaf M’madi expressed optimism about the future, saying their education has prepared them to make a real difference.
“The world should expect great things from us. We are ready to apply the knowledge we have gained to create solutions that will benefit our communities and beyond,” he said.
M’madi reflected on his academic journey, describing it as a challenging but rewarding experience.
“Balancing financial struggles with academic commitments was tough, but it taught me discipline, resilience, and adaptability,” he added.
Fatima Chilungo, a warehouse supervisor at CFAO Mobility Malawi, urged the students to demonstrate excellence and integrity as they enter the job market.
“The world is watching. Work hard, showcase your capabilities, and be role models. Success is not only about professional growth but also about spiritual and moral development,” Chilungo said.
She further encouraged the graduates to maintain a strong spiritual foundation, emphasizing the importance of prayer, acts of charity and good character.
On his part, Sheikh Ismail Ntewa highlighted the importance of using Malawi’s current political and economic landscape to drive positive transformation.
The farewell was not just a send-off but also a platform to inspire the next group of students at MUBAS to aim higher and remain committed to both academic and spiritual excellence.
The event concluded with prayers and a call for unity among students as they take on leadership roles in different spheres of life.
