Religious Seminar on the Virtues of the Last Ten Days of Ramadan and the Night of Power (Laylat al-Qadr)

The Department of Cultural and Artistic Activities, under the General Administration for Student Welfare, organizes a religious seminar entitled “The Virtues of the Last Ten Days of Ramadan and the Night of Power (Laylat al-Qadr).” The event is held at the Faculty of Arts under the patronage of Prof. Yahya Eid, President of the University, and supervised by Prof. Rushdi Al-Adawi, General Coordinator of Student Activities. This seminar is part of the university’s ongoing commitment to nurturing the religious and spiritual awareness of its students during the blessed month of Ramadan.

The President Prof. Yahya Eid affirms that organizing such seminars falls within the university’s focus on implementing purposeful awareness-raising activities that contribute to strengthening moral and humanitarian values among students and establishing principles of upright conduct. He points out that the month of Ramadan represents a genuine opportunity for self-reflection and bringing about positive change in the life of the individual and society alike, thereby enhancing the spirit of responsibility and belonging among youth.

He adds that these events help spread religious awareness and culture among students, introducing them to the greatness of the Prophetic biography and the lofty values it carries—values that call for tolerance, diligent work, and sincerity. Such initiatives assist in preparing a conscious and cultured generation capable of shouldering its responsibilities toward the homeland and actively participating in the journey of development.

He clarifies that the month of Ramadan is the month of true transformation and spiritual elevation, in which the spirit of worship and obedience shines brightly. It serves as an opportunity to move the individual from a state of stagnation to one of effectiveness and giving. He notes that change is of two types: positive change that propels a person toward work, productivity, and self-development; and negative change that leads to further negligence and decline—which every person should strive to avoid.
