𝐀𝐥𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡, we are so pleased to inform everyone that the Islamic Studies and International Studies students successfully united for the Maasim Relief Operations. Taking action on the ground as part of ISSA, IIAISSO, SHASSO, and IRIS, the students extended practical help and distributed relief goods to several puroks and barangays heavily affected by the recent 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Maasim, Sarangani Province.

More than the relief packs, it was the raw emotion on the ground that truly touched our hearts. Meeting the residents—who welcomed and thanked us with teary eyes—inspired our whole team to keep pushing forward and continuing this drive to serve the people and the community when they need it most.

We offer our utmost appreciation to our partner organizations; SK Barangay Kamanga, LDA, and Federation of Student Body Organization Madaris, and also to all our sponsors and individual donors for providing us with the means to conduct this relief operation. Thank you for helping us make this mission a successful and possible.

May Allah SWT accept your efforts, bless you with His infinite bounties, and reward you accordingly. As the people of Maasim face the journey ahead of them, we urge everyone to pray for them. May Allah SWT relieve their pain, give them Sabrun Jameel, and completely restore their lost properties.

"Those who spend their wealth in Allah's cause by night and by day, secretly and publicly, they shall have their reward with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve." (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:274)

The recent earthquake that struck parts of Mindanao has left behind more than damaged roads, collapsed structures, and shattered homes—it has left countless families facing uncertainty, grief, and hardship.

In times like these, we are reminded that our strength as a community is measured not only by how we endure trials, but by how we respond to the suffering of others. As Allah ﷻ reminds us, believers are like one body; when one part is in pain, the whole body feels its burden.

With this, the Islamic Studies Students' Association (ISSA) humbly launches ˈ𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐝əɡ 𝐤𝐚, 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐨: 𝐏𝐚𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐦 𝐬𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐠 𝐊𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐭, 𝐊𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐲 𝐬𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐠 𝐊𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐤𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠, a donation drive dedicated to extending assistance to our fellow Mindanaoans affected by the earthquake.

No contribution is too small. Every peso donated, every prayer offered, and every act of kindness shared brings hope to those struggling to rebuild their lives.

Let us stand together in compassion. Let us become instruments of mercy. Let us help Mindanao rise again.

Eid al-Adha Mubarak from the ISSA Family to yours!

As students of Islamic Studies, we often read about the historical narrative of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and Prophet Ismail (AS). But today is about bringing that narrative into our personal realities.

Eid al-Adha asks us a profound question: What are we willing to give up for the sake of Allah?

The ultimate realization of this sacred celebration is that "sacrifice" isn't just about the animal sacrifice—it is a symbol of slaughtering our own ego, our pride, our distractions, and our attachment to the temporary things of this world. Ibrahim (AS) didn't just give up something he loved; he trusted Allah blindly with his most precious attachment.

May this Eid be a turning point for us to audit our hearts. May Allah (SWT) accept our efforts, clear our paths of doubt, and grant us the ultimate realization of Tawakkul (absolute trust in Allah).

Wishing you all a deeply meaningful and blessed Eid.
