This was confirmed by Ustad who gave a lecture shortly after the official activity opened. “When the Romans had not invented numbers, it turns out that the Muslims have also found it.". I am proud that Islamic people are experts in mathematics. If people don't know math, can pray 2 raka’at dihantam 3 raka’at. This is a simple example,"said Ustad who was then greeted with laughter by the dialogue participants.

There's something I returned to work, but 3 new moon is back, don't know where." At the end of the dialogue, he again advised students to understand each other with lecturers in the mathematics department. "If you want an exam or mid, if there is pain, please wait for the pain.
