Assalamu alaikum
warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
In
the Name of Allah, Most Gracious and Most Merciful.
All
thanks and praises are due to Allah swt for all enjoyments He has been giving
to all of us. And peace and blessing may be upon His Messenger Prophet Muhammad
Saw who has brought human beings from the bad era to the bright one.
First
of all, the honorable Mr. Chairman/Mrs. Chairwoman who has given a chance to
deliver my speech on “Education for a Better Future”
Dear
all the audience,
In
al-Qur’an or in hadith, science and knowledge takes the highest place than
others. Even Allah is known as Al-Alim who knows all of the things. A
well-known Moslem poet stated that the strength of one nation depends on its
knowledge and science. Nowadays, the strength does not depend on the strength
of our body or property anymore, but it has already putted on science. The
slaves who take the highest rank in the view of Allah are those who have good
knowledge.
Now
let’s talk about education. As we know that in our religion, Allah commands us
to study as much as possible. For beginning, we can see that in the holy Qur’an
Surah al-Alaq verse 1 which has meaning “Read it”.
This
verse showed us how important the education is. Because “READ” is the basic of
study. By reading, we can learn about so many things in our life. Even Louse
Braille creates Braille to help blind people read.
Nowadays,
there are so many ways to learn about things. We are really helped by
technology. Besides book, newspaper, magazine, and television, now we have Internet.
We can search any information using this facility. As young generation, of
course, we have a lot of dreams and ambitions to achieve. But we need facility
to make it happen. We are lucky because the government has made program for
education that we know as “School Operation Fund”. This program not just
releases us from the high of school costs. It also gives us scholarship.
The government has made so many regulations to show their concern on education.
Inside the law about national education
system chapter 5 verse 1, states that:
“Every
citizen has same right to get quality education”.
Islam
also does not regard gender in seeking knowledge. All Moslems, either men or
women, have been given same chance to study and improve their knowledge. Hence,
the potential Allah has given to us can be improved to the state of
completeness hoped by every people. As Rasulullah Saw says:
طَلَبُ الْعِلْمِ
فَرِيْضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ
Both
of them have a similar tendency to invite us to understand that education is something
what must get a really serious attention from us, no matter male or female.
Ladies
and gentlemen,
Every
year, we celebrated the Kartini’s Day. Kartini is one of amazing and inspiring
figure for woman. She showed us no matter what, education must go on. In the
middle of colonization and limitation of everything, she still studies. And
now, the freedom and emancipation that every woman feels is because of Kartini.
Another
chapter from the holy Qur’an is in Surah Mujadilah verse 11:
يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٍ
“Allah
will raise the rank of person with knowledge and faithful one”.
We
can see the evidence of this revelation directly inside our life. The leaders
of a company or leader of a nation are all the smart people.
Knowledge
can lead us to find out what have never been known before. With good knowledge,
our nation will be esteemed by other nations. So, the decision is in our hands.
The future of a nation depends on its young generations.
Wise
man says: “Hang your ambition as high as the sky.” Start it with dreams, then
fight to achieve them. Because the poorest people are those who do not have a
dream.
That’s
all for my speech. Hope it could inspire and motivate us as a young generation to
study and seek knowledge seriously.
Thank
you very much for your attention.
Wassalamu
