SANTRI READINESS IN FACING THE GLOBAL CRISIS

First of all let us give thanks to God who has created the universe and everything in it and preserve
creation, give us grace, favor and health. Then let us send shalawat and salam awarded to our master
Prophet Muhammad SAW who has brought mankind from the dark ages to the era of light, as we feel
nowadays. My Proudly Brother and Sister! On this occasion, I will talk about " SANTRI READINESS
FACING GLOBAL CRISIS".

Allah SWT says: "And Ibrahim bequeath (saying) that the child - his son, as well as Ya’kub. Oh son -
my son! Indeed Allah has chosen this religion for you so do not be die except in a state of Islam. "

Globalization is a process of integrating people with all sorts of aspect of life into a single unified whole
society and greater international life. Globalization occurs because of the rapid development in
communication, information technology and transportation. Everything has worldwide which any person
in need can get, as thanks to the internet anyone can find what he wants, everyone in the world can
read the same story, watch the same movies, buy clothes with the same model, takes the same food,
and others. Rapid globalization has brought remarkable progress for human Life. Development of
science and technology has been able to solve human problems, even they say, "We have been able to
conquer the universe". However, behind a variety of human progress, global flows have changed the
civilization of every nation in the world, especially the Islamic culture fade to make the return of
civilization ignorance.

Globalization has brought huge impact for people especially Muslims. He has influenced the culture of
Islam, to destroy noble values of Islam, to change the way of life, way of life and mindset of a Muslim.
Today not a few young people are plagued by problems. Such as promiscuity, imagine 36% of
Indonesia's young generation done intercourse outside of marriage, 650,000 of them were teenagers in
Jakarta, as reported by TV ONE, then people living with HIV / AIDS is increasing in this country.
Prospective students as intellectuals but involved in the brawl, student fascinated with "kilek loyang
urang ketimbang kilek ameh awak surang". Proof, yet nothing Lady Gaga coming here, concert tickets
already sold 40,000 pieces. Alhamdulillah failed.

Will we let the situation like this?, Will we get caught up in life just by mortgaging eternal life?.

My Proudly brothers and sisters!

Indeed, this challenge is not easy. We are on the doorstep of the end times in which everything that has
been in utterance Prophet SAW regarding end-time condition has occurred, even as we seen every
day, many people who have left Islam and replace it with modern doctrines that eventually destroy life
them, murder, rape, adultery, though - be normal due to uncontrolled lust. This is in accordance with
the word of the prophet Muhammad:

"We have returned from the little war towards the great war.

Companions asked: what is the Great War Messenger of Allah?

 Prophet replied: fighting lust” Most people assume that science and technology can solve the current
problems. When in fact they had run out of light - daylight to darkness which had left Islam. Well, how
do we as students face this global crisis?

My Proudly brothers and sisters

There are some things that we must do: 1 Strengthening the belief / faith. The war we are facing today
is an ideological war. We do not think the people who hate us Muslims (Jews and Christians) to fight us
with guns, destroying mosques, tear down and disperse assemblies’ boarding school study groups. No!
Keep enough by destroying generations of Muslims and changed their mindset that they think like
Westerners, live like western people, even as the West associate regardless of the teachings of Islam.

Believe me, my brother we would not be safe and happy before the underlying life with Islam because
Islam is the only true religion, the supreme god. Therefore, let us together strengthen belief in Allah by
diligently studying science - the science of Islamic religion. Selecting foreign culture into our country.
Indeed, globalization cannot be dammed, he came like water flowing. If have a strong belief that we will
easily select the incoming culture means pick and choose which things are according to the teachings
of Islam and that does not good.

Therefore, we must be prepared for rapid global flow is to strengthen faith and filter every incoming
values and culture. Since the Islam is a visionary, not looking for enemies but abstinence when meeting
the enemy.
