Graduates of the Seventh Class of the Sixth Form at the College of Medicine, University of Fallujah
Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
On this auspicious day...
I extend to you my warmest congratulations and sincere wishes, not only as the Dean of this college, but also as a father who carries in his heart all pride and honor for you.
How beautiful this day is, when we see our crops ripen, the fruits of our labors ripe, and today you leave your seats of study to enter the realm of professional life with determination and competence.
Your journey has been full of challenges, but you have proven that you are up to the task.
Today, as you take the first step in your career as doctors, I urge you to make humanity your guide, knowledge your weapon, and compassion your approach. This is the message of medicine and the trust you bear.
I cannot miss this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to my sisters and brothers among the teaching staff in the Ministries of Education and Health, who have generously contributed their knowledge and efforts, serving as a beacon of light throughout your years of study.
And to the functional and administrative staff who have been a support in facilitating everything necessary for the success of the educational process.
You are all partners in the success of the graduation of this wonderful group, with their impressive and highly advanced results in the final ministerial comprehensive assessment exams at the level of medical colleges in Iraq.
You have my deepest respect and appreciation.
My sons and daughters...
Today, you are ambassadors of mercy and humanity from our college to your families and your community in the fields of giving.
So, as we have always known you, live up to the trust and hope we place in you.
Congratulations to us and to you on this graduation,
and congratulations to your families,
and congratulations to everyone who contributed to this blessed journey.
May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
