Mataram, University of Mataram – On Wednesday, April 10, 2024, the University of Mataram (Unram) held Eid prayers which were attended by hundreds of pilgrims, consisting of the academic community and the general public. The event took place in the courtyard of the Rectorate solemnly, under the direct supervision of the Rector of Unram, Prof. Ir. Bambang Hari Kusumo, M.Agr.St., Ph.D..

In his speech, the Rector expressed his gratitude for the end of the holy month of Ramadan and hoped that all sins and mistakes would be forgiven by Allah SWT.

Prof. Bambang also emphasized the importance of Unram’s contribution in providing a place for Eid prayers, as a form of support for the people of Mataram City who increasingly need adequate space for praying.

“This year is the second year Unram held Eid prayers on campus, and the plan will continue to be done in the following years,” he said.

This activity is not only a moment of worship, but also a tangible manifestation of Unram’s contribution in strengthening social and spiritual ties between the academic community and the general public.

Thus, Unram is not only a center of education, but also a place to strengthen togetherness and religion. The words minal aidin wal faizin as well as an apology for body and soul also flowed from the Rector of Unram to all the pilgrims who attended, while hoping that the worship performed was well received by Allah SWT.
