He further emphasized that progressive educational institutions should begin by establishing significant traditions. This involves building a cultural ecosystem of thought and everyday behaviour that reflects Muslims entrusted with the mandate to build civilization. Further, Muhammadiyah has a long history spanning a century.
"We hope to nurture human resources that not only possess good morals and ethics but are also intelligent, knowledgeable, progressive, and have an optimistic outlook on life to become actors in shaping the future," he added firmly.
UMM's new location comprises several parts, including a four-story main building consisting of classrooms, offices, and an auditorium. There are separate three-story dormitories for boys and girls, each with 13 rooms. Additionally, it is equipped with a two-story Javanese-style mosque.
