Pertandingan Lagu Dakwah 2011

Assalamualaikum and hello!

Alhamdulillah, the event went well! The BruManch Society would like to personally thank Unit Penuntut-Penuntut and Brunei Students' Union for organizing, the committee members, volunteers and the participating groups for making the event a success and not to forget everyone for attending and meramaikan the event! We also would like to congratulate ICUBS and BruHull for getting the 1st place for the male and female categories respectively! For the rest of the groups, you can try again next year, insyaAllah! :D

Without further ado, we would like to present the six performances:

For the first place, male category goes to the first group that performed, ICUBS! Lead (ketua kumpulan) by their Religious Officer, Muhammad Nurul Hafiz Haji Mohammad Yussof, the group made their way to the top by performing a medley of Maher Zain's Insya Allah and Rabbani's Intifada, with an original input on the lyrics which relates to the Brunei National day theme. We don't have the video just yet as of now but we will surely upload the video ASAP! Just watch this space!

Second place, goes to Al Muhajirun min Al-Lufbru, lead (ketua kumpulan) by Muhammad Najib Latif with the song Assolatuwassalam and a very creative original poem! We just let the video do the talking:




Third place goes to the BruManch's Rijaalul Musaafir lead (ketua kumpulan) by Muhammad Hifdzullah Haji Mat Yamin and the solo was lead by our very own vice president, Abang Muhammad Masrur Abang Haji Zainuddin. They performed an acapella medley of songs by Opick and included a very creative twist to their performance:



For the female category, the first place goes to BruHull lead (ketua kumpulan) by Norapizah Zailani. They performed an original number which really relates to the theme of the event!



Second place goes to Lufbru Nur Zahraa lead (ketua kumpulan) by Dk. Siti Nur Azriah Pg. Metussin.


Third place goes to Zaharatunnajah (Brunei Birmingham Students' Society) lead (ketua kumpulan) by Norhidayatul Mukminah Haji Puteh.


Congratulations to all the participating groups!
