I concluded that knowing the core philosophy, mission, and ambition of UTM is very crucial for me as a student in it. Additionally, I would like to answer Dr. Wahid Omar's questions to support my whole response, since the answer can really provide more clarity to the subject of this lecture. The first question was about the moment when I have deep thinking. To me, I usually delve in the deepest oceans of thought when I'm alone and contemplating life. I found that I don't necessarily require a specific situation, rather it depends more on the state of mind I'm currently in. The other question was about what really guides me through the process of thinking. Mostly, my style of thinking is more towards handling a certain issue and trying to analyze, approach, and dissect it. With that said, the things that help me go through that are my own perspectives, beliefs, and personal values. I also learned all about thinking in terms of Western versus Islamic perspectives, and how that UTM is going along with Allah’s divine law and its correlation with all the other aspects of life. I also understood the reason why this subject was presented to us as students, and that is to assist us in our rational thinking processes.
