Abstract

On October 10, 2025, the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) created history by organizing a historic peace march for Gaza—the first of its kind within its campus. IIUM is proud to declare that it is the first university in Malaysia to hold such an event, in recognition of the great determination and resilience demonstrated to the world by the oppressed and downtrodden people of Palestine. The three-kilometre walk was joined by academicians, students, and administrative staff of the university. Academic Staff Association (ASA), IIUM, as the organizer of the event, gave the honour to two Palestinian academics from AHAS KIRKHS and a postgraduate student from Kulliyyah of Education (KOED) to share their thoughts on the latest developments in Gaza. Along the walking trail around the campus, participants chanted slogans not only to express solidarity with the heroic people of Gaza but also to condemn the genocide carried out by the IDF (Israeli Defence Forces). Last week’s event was more elaborate than the weekly rallies held after Jum’ah prayers in front of the grand Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah (SHAS) Mosque on campus. Events such as the peace walk and the condemnation of genocide are organized to educate and mobilize students to love world peace and the coexistence of human societies wherever they are in this world.
