Congratulations UM🎊🎉

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ، وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ، وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ، وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ، وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ

Ya Allah, ampunilah dosanya, rahmatilah dia, sejahterakanlah dia, maafkanlah segala kesalahannya, muliakanlah tempat tinggalnya, lapangkanlah kuburnya, bersihkanlah dia daripada dosa sebagaimana Engkau membersihkan kain putih daripada kotoran.

Al Fatihah

Allahyarham dikenali sebagai seorang staf yang berdedikasi dan berbudi pekerti sepanjang tempoh perkhidmatannya di universiti ini. Pemergian beliau merupakan satu kehilangan besar buat warga Muzium Seni Asia dan universiti secara amnya.

Kami mendoakan agar roh Allahyarham dicucuri rahmat oleh Allah SWT, diampunkan segala dosa-dosanya, dan ditempatkan dalam kalangan orang-orang yang beriman serta beramal soleh.
