There are several things we must do to be grateful for this blessing.

Firstly, Lets do the best

Don’t be sad being here, far from family and other conditions, just remember that we are so
luck. Allah Said, A'udzu billahi minas syaythanir rajim, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

َ‫َواَل تَ ِهنُوا َواَل تَحْ َزنُوا َوَأ ْنتُ ُم اَأْل ْعلَوْ نَ ِإ ْن ُك ْنتُ ْم ُمْؤ ِمنِين‬

"And do not be weak and do not grieve. Yet you are a high people, if you believe” (Surah Ali
Imran: 139).

then, let's learn more enthusiastically to learn our beloved religion, Islam and also other lessons.
do not hesitate and be sad just because we are different from other teenagers, because in fact we are
the lucky one.

We are islamic young generation, let’s do the best for our brighter future. Let’s improve our ability and
quality in education. Let’s show to the world that Moslem students are able to compete with others. I
belief by working and studying hard, the brighter future is ours.

Secondly, ask our parents to pray for our success.

Nowadays, most of young generations are influenced by modernization era, Many of them consume
drug, alcohol and something else that far from Islamic guidance. There isn’t moral value in their life. Our
parents’ wishes are we can far from those problems. So we have to ask theirs pray for our success.
From Anas bin Malik radhiallahu'anhu, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:

"There are three prayers that are not rejected: [1] the prayer of parents (to their children) [2] those who
are fasting, [3] the prayers of those who are traveling" (HR. Al Baihaqi in his Sunan no. 6619,
authenticated by Al Albani in the lineage of Ash Shahihah)

So, hopefully our parents’ pray is not rejeted.

At last, lets put your trust only in Allah. After we do the best then ask our prarents’ pray, sure we have
to put our trust in Allah. Everything His plan is the best for us.

A'udzu billahi minas syaythanir rajim, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

"It may be that you hate something, even though it is very good for you, and it may be that you like
something, even though it is very bad for you; Allah knows, while you do not know." (Surat al-Baqarah:
216).

Happy Ladies and gentleman

Let’s we show that santri always be a good example, good personality, being a good generation for our
parents, teachers, society and country, we are expected to be better and to bring brighter future. Lets
do the best. Be proud of being santri and say it “ it is my way, being santri is my way” please repeat after
me.
