And not forget to the local government of Kendal Regency, I also do thanks very much for the permission given to us to hold this program and for the donation given to us. Therefore this agenda can be hold in the quad center of this town royally. We cannot repay all of things you give to us, we only can pray you all to Allah, hope that your beneficence will get back with the better things and heaven. Amen,, Respectable audiences, Here, I will give you little explanation why this festival holds. Firstly, we know that Tambourine has been famous at the moment. We can see that almost in the schools, especially in elementary school, have their own tambourine group. Whereas some of them ever be champion in province level competition. It is a good performance to be develop. It

means that all of tambourine groups from each school have a chance to be the winner, to be the champion, and to be the best in this competition. We hope by holding this program, all of tambourine groups in Kendal Area will be motivated to improve and develop their skill in Tambourine. Then later, they will be competent students, and they will be useful for our religion and our nation. Besides, we as Muslim will meet with our great day in this year that is called Asyura day or the beginning of Islamic year 1434 H. We certainly remember who had created the Islamic date, he is Umar Ibn Khattab. This event is to remember his struggle in hundreds or thousands year ago, so that Islam has its own date and year which is an innovation of Islam period since the death of Rasulallah SAW. We must be proud of this development. Then to remember and memorize that day, so we hold this tambourine competition in order to improve our believe and to be closer to Allah as The Creator. I think that is all for me. There must be many mistakes in my speech, so please forgive me for all my mistakes. The last I say, thanks for your kind attention. Wallahul Muwaffiq ila Aqwamiththoriiq, Wassalamualaikum Wr. Wb.
