In the name of Allah, the most gracious the most merciful Honorable protocol Honorable the juries

Honorable the audiences All praises and thanks due to Allah the almighty for all enjoyments who has

given us. Peace and blessing may be upon his messenger prophet Muhammad saw, who has brought

human beings from the darkness to lightness.

First of all, I’d like to say thank you very much to my lovely school, who has given me this opportunity to

deliver my speech on the tittle : “the obligation requires knowledge”.

Dear the audience, In Al-Qur’an or in hadith, science and knowledge takes the highest place then others.

Even Allah is known as Al-alim who knows all of thing. A well-known moeslem poet stated that the

strength of one nation depends on its knowledge and science. Nowadays, the strength doesn’t depend on

the strength of our body or property anymore, but it has already putted on science. The slaves who take

the highest rank in the view of Allah are those who have good knowledge. Now let’s talk about education,

as we know that in our religion, Allah commands us to study as much as possible. For beginning, we can

see that in the holy Qur’an surah al-alaq verser 1 “iqrok” which has meaning “read it” ”. This verse showed

us how important the uducation is, because read is the basic of study.

By reading, we can learn about so many things in our life. Even louse Braille creates Braille to help blind

people read. Nowadays, there are so many ways to learn about things. We are really helped by technology.

Besides book, news paper, magazine, and television, now we have internet, we can search any information

using this facility. As young generation,of course, we have a lot of dream and ambitions to achieve. But we

need facility to make it happen. We are lucky because the government has made program for education
that we know as “school operation fund”. This program not just releases us from the high of school cost. It

also gives us scholarship. the government has made so many regulations to show their concern on

education. Inside the law about national education system chapter 5 verse 1 states that: “Every citizen has

same right to get quality education” Islam also doesn’t regard gender in seeking knowledge. All moeslem,

either men or women, have been given same change to study and improve their knowledge.

Hence, the potential Allah has given to us can be improved to stated of completeness hoped by every

people as rasulullah saw says:

‫ومسلمة مسلم كل على فريضة العلم طلب‬

“both of them have a similar tendency to invite us to understand that education is something what must

get a really serious from us, no matter male or female. Ladies and gentlemen Every year, we celebrated the

kartini’s day.

Kartini is one of amazing and inspiring figure for woman. She showed us no matter what, education must

go on. In the middle of colonization and limitation of everything, she still studies. And now, the freedom

and emancipation that every woman feels is because of kartini. Another chapter from the holy Qur’an is in

surah al-mujadalah verse 11:

“Allah will raise the rank of person with knowledge and faithful one”. We can see the evidence of this

revelation direcly inside our life. The leaders of company or leader of a nation are all the smart people.

Knowledge can lead us to find out what have never been known before. With good knowledge, our nation

will be esteemed by other nation. So, the decision is in our hands. The future of a nation depends on its
young generation. Wise man says: “hang your ambition as high as the sky”. Start it with dreams, then fight

to achieve them. Because the poorest people are those who do not have a dream. That’s all from my speech.

I hope it could inspire and motivate us as a young generation to study and seek knowledge seriously.

Thank you very much for your attention
