Youth Generation That Brings Alteration

Assalamu’alaikum wr.wb

With all due the respect to the honorable Mr. Principal, to the honorable Mr. Homeroom
Teacher of my class, to honorable Mr. and Mrs. Teachers as well as to the dearest friends.
First of all, let’s say our praise and gratitude only to Allah Swt due to His grace and blessings
upon us so that on this good time and occasion we all can still gather in this place in the best of
our health.
Ladies, gentlemen, and friends that I love,

Youth is a figure that always brings alterations. Alteration in life order of some era is quite
influenced by the role of youths. In 1982, youths gathered altogether and then took the pledge in
order to tighten the unity of Indonesia. This pledge was known as Youth Pledge. All youths
from all over Indonesia from various ethnics, cultures, languages, and regions strove for retaking
the independence of nation altogether.

Who doesn’t know Mr. Soekarno, our first president of Indonesia? Nobody doubted him in each
of his speech to encourage the youths in maintaining the independence of Indonesia. The long
journey of Indonesia to the national independence shows us how great the influence was
regarding our nation’s life. And then as the youth Muslim generation, what have we contributed
to society, nation, religion, and especially our own selves? Have we given any alteration?

A Muslim youth should go on with positive alterations day after day in his or her life. How a
loss if a Muslim youth is seen to be worse than yesterday. The success of a youth in dealing with
a number of life handicaps along with the good alterations will be the basic in how he or she
brings alterations to his or her surroundings and those that are bigger than that.
To all of my companions that I proud of,
Dr. Yusuf Qardhawi said that there are three things that underlie a youth as a foundation of
alteration;
1.Youths come with brilliant brain
2. Youths have strong physicals
3. Youths behave objectively

From the three points above, we can come to the conclusion that to bring the balance of physical
alterations, youths also need to take into consider of three things that underlie spiritual
alterations:
1. Youths need to have strong faith
2. Youth need to be always istiqamah in performing any religious services and duties
3. Youths have good manners or akhlak khasanah

Ladies, gentlemen, and all the companions blessed by Allah It’s about the time for Muslim
youths to rise up for creating alterations in every line of life and keeping as well as maintaining
the self-image of Islam. Moreover, Islam has been being besieged from all over the directions.
We need to increase our knowledge about Islam by reading various books. Not only Islamic
Make our youth as the time that’s full of benefits and all the good things before the coming of
old age, when all of our spirits would fade away. What are we waiting for, if we can do the
alteration now? Use our youth times to become the part of Islam’s awakening history in
Indonesia.
That’s all I could say. I wish we can meet again someday. Please forgive me for the mistakes on
my words. Thanks for the attention.
