Harmony of Humanity and Music: INTIM’s Silver Jubilee

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — The acclaimed Malaysian nasyid group INTIM celebrated 25 years of their illustrious musical journey with a remarkable Silver Jubilee concert that seamlessly blended artistry with humanitarian spirit. Titled “Concert Twenty-Five Tahun INTIM Nur Kasih”, the event took place on Sunday at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil, drawing an enthusiastic audience eager to witness both music and meaningful social action.

A central highlight of the evening was the group’s philanthropic gesture: a donation of 10,000 Malaysian Ringgit to Persatuan Kebajikan Al-Fikrah Malaysia, establishing a powerful link between the enjoyment of music and the promotion of social welfare. The initiative was a collaborative effort involving INTIM, legendary singer Datuk M. Nasir, and the concert’s organiser, ICON Entertainment. Rahim, a member of INTIM, explained, “This donation reflects our sincere commitment to ensuring that the joy of music is accompanied by tangible contributions to society.”

The donation ceremony featured Datuk M. Nasir presenting a symbolic cheque before joining INTIM on stage for an emotionally charged rendition of his iconic song “Bonda”. The performance resonated deeply with the audience, evoking sentiments of maternal love and cultural roots, while reinforcing the concert’s theme of music as a vehicle for human connection and compassion.

Throughout the evening, INTIM performed over 25 of their most celebrated nasyid pieces, showcasing a repertoire that spans a quarter-century of spiritual and melodic storytelling. Special guests Nazri Johani and Gigi Kirana further enriched the programme, adding layers of vibrancy and charm to the performance.

The concert also held special significance for expatriate Bangladeshi attendees, offering them a moment of spiritual solace and cultural connection amid the pressures of overseas life. For many, it was more than entertainment—it was a rejuvenating experience that bridged distance and home.
