As-salamualeykum to you all,

Right now I’m sitting at my room and reflecting on this year’s trip and trying to see the biggest differences from last year’s summer camp to this year’s. There is so much that has happened and there is much that has improved since last year. The biggest difference this year is the group dynamic – it is a wonderful group of students this year and we work well together.

Right now, most of the girls are sitting in our Surau and studying, we have several assignments and exams tomorrow. We have completed these courses: Islamic worldview and Akhlaq. Tomorrows exams are in Aqidah connected with sufism and Ulum al-Qur’an. The courses have been really good, and instructive. I really appreciate the teachers and their knowledge. I just hope they understand us and have sabr with us – we have a very different kind of relationship with teachers in Sweden and it may perhaps be a little too much for them here – as we always attend to say what we think.

Anyway, I also think that everyone looks forward to the weekend, we will spend it in Langkawi insh’Allah! I personally have longed to Langkawi for a whole year!

    Alhamdulillah, glad to hear that! But, I believe that there are still rooms for further improvement in our future summer camps. Really hope that we could get as much feedback as we can from all students and API coordinators on how to improve the next year’s summer camp :)

    Good luck for the exam and have a safe trip to Langkawi, inshaAllah.
