Reflecting on Purpose, Isra Mi’raj Commemoration at Universitas Terbuka

The Isra Mi’raj commemoration at Universitas Terbuka was held on February 11, 2026, at the Universitas Terbuka Convention Center (UTCC) in Pondok Cabe. Since morning, UT central office staff, dressed in white Muslim attire, gathered in a solemn atmosphere as Rector Prof. Dr. Ali Muktiyanto officially opened the event. The occasion served as a moment of reflection, encouraging employees to draw lessons from Isra Mi’raj in their daily work. 

The event featured a sermon by Dennis Lim, who spoke about the spiritual journey of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and connected its values to professional life. He emphasized that even the smallest task can become an act of worship when carried out with sincere intention. Through relatable examples, he highlighted patience, perseverance, and consistency as essential qualities in both faith and work. 

The Rector noted that the commemoration aligns with UT’s mission to provide quality education while fostering strong character among its academic community. The values of responsibility, integrity, and dedication were reinforced as part of strengthening institutional work culture. 

The reflective atmosphere was further enriched by a special nasyid a cappella performance by Vocafarabi, creating a sense of unity and spiritual calm among participants. 

The event concluded with renewed awareness that daily responsibilities, when performed with good intentions, carry meaningful value—underscoring UT’s commitment to nurturing both professional excellence and character development within its community.
