Now I’m asking you why, why is Islam very
shining, astonishing and feared in the past and now appeared as a homeless sick
man that no one cares about him, even himself? You already have the
answer!
The answer is the young people! Our young
people of Islam! Our teenagers, our Childs of future!
There was a story, and you probably have
heard about it. There was a king from faraway land that very wondering why the neighbor
kingdom is more powerful than his. So, he sent a scout to one of the city. When
the scout enters the city, he astonished to the people at the city. They have
strong spirit, motivation, and vision about their future. One day, he came to
see a group of children practicing his archer skill. One of those children is not with his bow. He is
crying. So, the scout came over him,
“What’s the matter, boy?” he asked
“I sad because I can’t reach the target
with my bow”, cried him.
Now the scout understands about the
situation and reported it the king
“O mighty king, our kingdom is overwhelmed
by their kingdom because every single of their citizens has strong willing, and
a big ambitions that much bigger than ours.” said him.
“So, how we can defeat them?” asked the
king
“Simple, my king, we must crush their
ambition, their mental. Send them distractions. Build a bar, discotheque, and
pleasuring places for them, that will do a great effect!” the scout said it with a smile.
Then, after years, the king sent the same
scout to take a look about the result of their psychological attack in the same
city.
Now, he saw a teenager, crying in the side
of city wall. So, the scout came over him,
“What’s the matter, boy?” he asked
“I sad because my girlfriend left me behind
because she found another handsome man”, he cried.
Hearing this, the scout smiled wider than
before and came back to the king
“My king, we have succeeded! Now, no matter
we attack them with our army or not, they will be perished by themselves!”
laughed the scout.
However, the scout was right. Years after
he said that, the neighbor kingdom suffers because of their citizen had lost
their willing to live. Then the king mobilizes his army, and conquer that
kingdom without any heavy fight.
What can we see from story is so clear. The
world of Islam is being poisoned. And, who had contaminated the most is our
teenagers. They had successfully lost, forgot that they are this religion’s
last hope from being doomed. They forgot that they were a Muslim.
So, what’s the solution for this problem?
Simple, my readers!
Now, all of the young Muslim that still
listening to my word, look at me! Look at yourself! Look at the world! Wake up! Wake up
and slap your face! Wake up and realize who you really are! Who you are
supposed to be!
Kuntum khairu ummah!
You, each of you are the last hope, the
last and no more! You are supposed to lead this world! And I’ll tell you, if you
still don’t care about yourself, that power will be filled by someone else! And
it really happens now! So wake up! Wake up you young men! Remember what our
proclamator said about yourself
“Give me ten young men and I’ll shock the
world!”
Wake up, teenagers! Rise and shine and open
your eyes! Realize what you can do for this world, as a Muslim! You don’t need
to be expert at fiqh problems or make a new mazhab, or be a fake prophet to be
a good Muslim! Because everyone can be a good Muslim in their own ways!
So, if you are a Journalist, say these
words with proud, “I’m a journalist and I’m a Muslim!” IF you are a Doctor, say “I’m a Doctor and I’m a
Muslim!” If you are a Programmer, say “I’m a Programmer and I’m a Muslim!”, an
Engineer, Advocate, President, or even anything you could, and must be!
So, what do you waiting for? Wake up and
smell the ashes of your ancestors that have light this world with their torch,
torch of Islam! Maybe the world still don’t know about you, but it’s a fact
that this world, the whole humanity, needs your thinkings! So, show them!
Spread the light of Islam inside of you to the world! Together we can do it!
Make those bullyers cried under your feet! Make them regret from choosing a
wrong enemy! Show them who you really are! When the world fails, we step in!
Together, we can make this world ours again, once and for all!
