Respectable
the participant of English speech contest.

mercies and blessings, so we can gather here in a good condition without any
troubles and obstacles.

Thirdly, I
will never forget to say thank you very much to master of ceremony, who has
given me opportunity to speak in front of you all. I hope that I can use the
opportunity as well as possible
Happy Moslem
brothers and sisters.
As we know
that Allah had decided his creature’s age. It means that all of Allah’s
creature will pass away. Our president, our governor, our regent, our
grandparents, our parents, our teachers, and all of our old generations will
pass away. The question now is who will take over the old generation’s position
in the future? It must be us, as young generation, who will continue the old
generation’s role in the future.
We, as young
generation, are the future of the country. Whether we want or not, we will take
over the old generation’s position in the future. As Arabic wise word, “Nowadays
young generation will be the old generation in the future.”
May be there
is a question of the audience here. Are all nowadays young generation will be a
president, a governor, or a regent? No, it isn’t absolutely so. But, the wise
word above tells us that nowadays young generation will absolutely be
responsible the future of life. Because the advance and the declining of future
culture depend on how the good or the bad generations are. Our prophet had
said:
إن
فيى أيديكم أمر الأمة و في أقدمكم حياتها
“In your hands, there are people problems absolutely. And in
your feet, there is the life of them.”
From the
prophet’s saying above, we can take a lesson. If inn an area, there is good
generation, good worship, and good conduct, of course the area will be
friendly, cheerful, and peaceful. But, if the generations in an area have bad
habits, like to buy toggle and to be drunkards, of course the life situation
there will seem glum, dark, and also make us feel unhappy to stay there.
Therefore,
in this good occasion, I invite the participant of English speech contest
specially and all young generations generally. Let’s prepare us right now!!!
Study all knowledge you want, both Islamic and general science wholeheartedly.
For
preparing ourselves to take over the old generation’s position in the future,
we need three aspects which must be mastered by us. Here, they are:
1.
The Healthy
Body
The healthy body is an important aspect for preparing
ourselves to obtain our ambition. How can? The healthy body is the great modal
for us to have healthy brain. Because, the wise word had said, “Men sanna in
corpore sano.” It means, “In the healthy body, there is healthy brain.”
Let’s analyze for a moment! If our body is unhealthy, we
will not feel comfort to study in the class. It causes we can’t accept the
lesson from teacher well. The second phenomenon is related with biological
concept. If our body is unhealthy, the circulation of blood will not swift. In
the other side, the blood brings much nutrition for our body. If the
circulation of blood is not swift, the brain may not accept enough nutrition.
It can cause the speed of thinking is not fast enough. Therefore, we must keep
our body healthy.
2.
The Healthy
Brain
The
second important aspect is healthy brain. If we have healthy brain, we can
think everything clearly and can solve the problems well. It will be the great
modal to make regeneration in our life. Specially, to take over the old
generation’s position in the future. Muhammad’s nephew has ever said:
ألا لا تـــنال العــلم إلا بـــســتة
ذكاء و حـرص و اصــطبار وبلغــــة
|
ســأنبيك عن مجموعـها بـــــبيـان
وإرشــاد أستــاذ و طــول زمـــان
|
“Remember,
you can’t accept knowledge well when you don’t handle six factors. They are
healthy brain, great willing, great patience, enough fees, teacher’s guidance,
and taking long time for studying.”
Those
six factors must be handled by us if we want to be able accept knowledge well.
And let’s see! The first factor is healthy brain. It indicates that healthy
brain is very important factor for accepting knowledge well.
But,
remember that our religion doesn’t differentiate between knowledge. All of
knowledge is same. All of knowledge is taken from Koran. Such as, mathematic,
physic, biology, fiqih, nahwu, shorof, and the others are taken from Koran.
Therefore, who wants to be a doctor, study medical science as hard as possible!
Who wants to be architecture, be a professional architecture! Who wants to
study about law, both religion and general, in its detail form, please stud as
hard as possible! In order, we can be real professional lawyer in the future.
But, one problem you have to remember devotes god and culture moral conduct
whenever and wherever you are in.
Like
what I’ve just said that in the healthy body, there is healthy brain. Our body
will be healthy if it obtains enough nutrition. If we want to make our brain
healthy, we must give enough nutrition too. Some of the brain’s nutrition is
knowledge, reading Koran, avoiding negative thinking, and the other biological
nutrition.
Imam
Al-Ghozali had said, “If our brain hasn’t obtained knowledge anymore for
three days, our brain will pass away.” It shows that knowledge is the most
important nutrition for our brain. And the other nutrition participates as
supplement for our brain. Let’s keep our brain healthy!
3.
The Healthy
Soul
Last
but not least aspect is the healthy soul. The health of soul is the basis modal
for establishing good behavior. In the other hand, behavior’s establishment is
not as far as fast food’s service. Behavior’s establishment needs long time.
Our prophet, Muhammad saw, needs several years to establish good behavior of
his followers. His great sacrifice, in several years, can make his followers to
be leader, commander, soldier, large scale merchant, and the other profession
in our life with popular intelligence, emotion, and spiritual.
Now,
the problem is what is the importance of good behavior? If we analyze, our
beloved country, Indonesia ,
has many intellectual people. For example, Ir. Soekarno, who can bring Indonesia into global world, B.J. Habibie, who
can develop the technology of Indonesia ,
and the other intellectual old generation. Beside that, we also have the
intellectual young generation. For example, George Sa’a, who won physic
Olympiad, which is held in Poland .
But, why? Why is our country left by the other country? Why? It is caused by
the unhealthy soul. Yes, it’s right, our intellectual people have high
intelligence, but many of them don’t have good behavior. What a dissension!
How
we make our soul healthy? We can keep it healthy by steping our prophet’s
method. He had said:
“My child, verily,
I will teach you some lessons. Keep our obligation to Allah, in order Allah
will keep you. Keep your sunnah to Allah, in order Allah will face you when you
meet him. If you want to ask, ask to Allah. If you want to seek for helping,
ask to Allah for helping you.”
The
principle of our prophet’s statement is the foundation of soul which has
invested by Muhammad for children and teenagers. Do we have braver to practice
it and repeat his success? We must have it if we want to take over the old
generation’s position.
Well
audiences.
If we want
to make our country has beautiful name, we must keep ourselves healthy in any
side. And also, we must keep our young generations too. In order, our country
will have a beautiful name, namely 3G country. What is 3G country? It is
glorious, gracious, and graceful country.
Ok. I think
that’s all and thank for your attention. I hope that m speech will be useful
for us in this world and the day after. Last of saying,
والسلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
