The Honorable juries, all participants of the English speech Contest and audiences.
In the name of Allah the most beneficient and the most merciful. Glory be to Allah, the God who teaches us
with pen and teaches human beings of what they dont know. May peace be always on our leader, the noblest
human being, prophet Muhammad SAW, Allahumma Sholli ala Muhammad Waala ali Muhammad, along with
his family and companions.
Dear ladies and gentlemen,
The youth period is the crucial time for human beings. If the young people cant control theirselves they will
go to the wrong way. On the other hand, at this stage of life, they also have great potency and energy that
can be prided. So, on this very special ocassion, as one of the Islamic young people, the Nahdliyah
generation, I would like to motivate myself and all of my friends who have the same vision of life to prepare
ourselves to face the future.
The Youth, especially the islamic young people has a great role in developing and supporting the development
of a nation. We are the hope who will carry out the struggle for the sake of our country. At the same time, we
also become the hope of Islamic religion that will strive for the sake of Islamic teaching in the future and
maintain the Islamic law which will safeguard the Moslem young generation from the influence of destructive
western style of life.
Dear audiences honoured by Allah,
We live in the world of sophisticated technology, where there is no border between countries. This world is
also the era of information, transportation and telecomunication that makes our life better than the previous
time. This modern era, however, gives both of positive and negative impact to our lives. As the Nahdliyah
cadres, of course we must take the positive things not the negative one. Our task is to conquer science and
knowledge. As we know, seeking science and knowledge is compulsary for us because Allah will exalt our
degrees if we have an intention to learn. Allah said in the holy Quran;

Allah will exalt those of you who believe, and those who are given knowledge, in high degrees; and Allah is Aware
of what you do.
In addition, our Prohet Muhammad said in Hadith;

Looking for science is compulsary for every moslem both of man and woman.

Based on the Quran and Hadith I said before, we must prepare our future by having good knowledge. So we
can lead this country wisely and Allah will guide us.
Ladies and gentlemen,
As the Nahdliyah generation in this globalization era, we have responsibility to remind one another, not to do
the bad deeds forbiden by Allah. We witness ourselves that some moslem generation have misled their ways.
They have turned away from Islamic values. Consuming drugs and alcoholic drink, doing free-sex and other
bad things against Islamic teachings. The question is, what would happen if the generation has bad moral?
We are the leaders in the future, arent we?

Dear audiences,
In conclusion, to face the globalization era, as the Nahdliyah cadres, we must keep our beliefs, ahlusunah
waljamaah from generation to generation. We must fulfil ourselves with good morals, useful knowledge and
skills. We must avoid what Allah forbids. We hope that we could be one of the best Islamic generations who
follow our prophets Akhlaq. Last but not least, let the world know, dont hide behind, we deserve to be the
agent of change that will reborn the smart moslem generation who will lead our beloved country, Indonesia.
Thats all I can deliver in my speech. Thank you very much for giving me valuable time.
Wallahul muafiq ilaa aqwamittariq,
