A Speech: The Young Muslim’s Role in Changing the World (Part 1)

Author: M. Sayyidus Shaleh

Now, is brand new day for us all, my aspiring Readers! Millions of you from all over the world. From the capital city to the countrysides and villages. All of you, let’s send our praises and gratitude to The Almighty Allah, who have given us a new day in every single part of our live! A new chance for us to chase our dreams! A little more time to pray for Him! Even if we still forgot the fact that we supposed to be His slaves, from we take our first breath until the Izrail come to us, bringing out our lives for the Day of Reckoning. Shame to those people who didn’t prepare themselves for that day! They shall burn in the fire of Infernal! For the Holy Qur’an had told us to always be ready. Let us pray again, for we shall be listed beside those names that are going to the Heaven! Amin!


Ladies and Genltemen, Shalawat and Salam shall also be sent to our Prophet, Muhammad SAW. The man, the great man who has driven this world of darkness, treachery, barbarism to the  prosperity, happiness, and enlightenment age of the new great civilization, until now! Let us thank him and pray, for all of his marvelous revolution that started in the selves of mankind!

Ladies and Gentlemen. As we all know, this country has more of 80% of their registered citizens in the Religion of Islam, at least in their ID Cards. Mathematically, it’s a fact that eight of ten people in Indonesia, are muslims. What does this mean? Of course, clearly, this data showed that we are the majority. We are the main power. If this nation is an airplane, we are the jet engines! Like the theory of gravity, we are the force that made this land stand still, after countless threats and disasters!
But why, until this time after our beloved prophet passed away fourteen centuries ago, we don’t feel our self in the way we supposed to be? Why, after these decades of independence, after years of revolution, and after years again of reformation of this nation, why we don’t feel any better than before? Why we still bowing, ducking beneath the other’s feet like a vandal in a prison!?

Chains of embarassing, immoral insults had been shot, directly to our face! News in the media about anonymous self-bombing men, such as 9/11 at World Trade Center, Bomb in Paris, and others. Marauding so-called terrorrists that doing plane hijacking, taking hostages, doing vandalism, and of course, a puppet-so-called country, ISIS! And until now, a So-called “War Against Terror” had caused thousands of innocent women and children deaths at Afganistan and Iraq! And recently, a deactivated so-called governor without any shame on his face mocked the Holy Qur’an just like saying hello to each other! We have been bullied, slapped in the face, not only in our homeland, but in the whole world!

Why is this wounding events keep striking us? Why wont it stop? Why the media keep telling the world that we are a villain? Barbar? An unstopable virus? Many of them had got some of phobia to the word “Islam”. For them, Islam means exploding bombs. For them , Islam means warmonger and terrorrism. That’s the exact fact about what’s happening right now. Even, one of them has “cartoonized” our Prophet with a very displeasant illustration under the “Flag” of “Freedom to express” and “Human Right”!
