A beautiful virtual tour of Masjid an Nabawi in Madinah al Munawwarah.

 

Masjid an Nabawi is the second holiest mosque in Islam, the second largest mosque in the world after the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. It is located in Madinah, Saudi Arabia. Masjid an-Nabawi, the Prophet’s Mosque was built by the Prophet Muhammad shortly after his migration from Makkah to Madinah in 622 AD.

The grave of the Prophet, as well as the graves of two of his most faithful companions, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and Umar ibn al-Khattab are located within the mosque. Every year millions of Muslims from across the world visit the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah al Munawwarah.

It's My Turn To Retire!

 

Assalamualaikum and greetings to all,

I have been working in the  Radiology Department since September 1985. I want to let you all know, I really like my job and have enjoyed my time working here. I feel fortunate to have been a part of this family. Working with you all has been a fantastic experience in my life and I will cherish all the moments and memories I have made along the way. 

To Mr Nik Fauriza (Radiology Manager), I would like to express my gratitude to you for teaching me so many things throughout my service here. You have also taught me how computer network works and the devices to build networks that first sparked and fueled my interest in the field. I will always remember the feeling when I first learned about PACS and RIS in the Department of Radiology. PACS and RIS are two medical method in radiography commonly used by radiologists and physicians. I'm very excited about the opportunity to work with you and the IT Committee team as well. 

To Prof Dr Mohd Shafie (HOD of Radiology), many thanks to you for always giving motivation and useful advice as well as being kind to the subordinate staff. I’ll never forget the things you have done to us, and you’re the best boss I’ve ever met.
 

I also want to sincerely express my thanks and appreciation to all of my colleagues for helping create such a satisfying and pleasant work environment over the past 35 years. It saddens me to leave behind good friends in HUSM after the exciting, challenging and very eventful time with your guidance, support, encouragement and comfort. Moreover, the friendship has kept me strong all these years. 

As human beings, there might be many things that happened when we worked together, differences and similarities, contentment and sorrow which can happen to every people when working together, like teeth and tongue, no matter how many times the teeth bite the tongue, they still stay together in one mouth... most importantly we have always persevered.


The ceremony was held with social distancing
and online via Webec due to SOP compliance.

This is my last post on this blog. I am sorry I was unable to attend the ceremony held by KKMI a few days ago. I also humbly apologize for any inconvenience or mistakes or hard feelings that might have been caused by me over the years and hope our friendship will remain forever. 
Finally I hope everyone in the Radiology Department continues to be successful in the future. 


Thank you all for your support and friendship for over 35 years. May Allah SWT grant all of us and our family happiness and success in this life as well as happiness and success in the hereafter. آمِيْن يَا رَبَّ العَالَمِيْنَ

Photo opportunities along my 35 years at Radiology Department... looking at old photos brings back memories and makes me feel like it takes me back to that time... It's so nostalgic:

I’m Getting Closer To 60 And Really Ready To Retire.

Assalamualaikum and warm greetings to dear colleagues,

I have been working in Radiology Department since I was 24 years old. It was in 1985. Over the years of working from the age of 24 to 60, I've seen various advances in the field of radiography from conventional radiography in the middle of the 80s then transformed into digital radiography. Computed radiography (CR) has supplanted x-ray film radiography in the department. Digital Radiography with the addition of computer technology has become a much more efficient, cost effective and even more safer of producing diagnostic images.

After 35 and a half years, I've been the longest serving employee in the department so far. it's time for me to step away or retire from my current job as Medical Technician. I'm really ready to retire. Getting ready to retire is not just about finances, it is about being emotionally ready as well.

My last day of work will be on 23rd April 2021 that will falls on friday. Friday will be an off day (weekend), so my last day of working will be the day before which is on Thursday 22nd April 2021

Today is the day I start counting the number of the days left… and the number of working days until my retirement. The working days will exclude public holidays and weekends, that is friday and saturday.  

As time went on and retirement got closer. I took some time to reflect on my long career with the radiology department, and all the colleagues I have ever met and the experiences I have gone through over the years. I felt happy and a bit excited...

COUNT DOWN THE DAYS LEFT Allah SWT said in Surah Al-Ahzab verse 3, it means: 

"And put your trust in Allah, for Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of Affairs."


This life is a test, both in good times and bad. I alway put my trust in Allah, trusting in Allah’s plan is known as tawakkaltu ‘alallah (توكلت على الله).


Allah is the Best Sustainer and there is no power and effort but the help of Allah who is Almighty and Great.

May Allah SWT grant eternal success in this life and the hereafter... آمين
