Thank you very much to the judges for giving me a special opportunity to confidence the
contest.

Ladies and gentlemen, you must know that looking for science is the whole Moslem’s
obligation. Even the human kind in the world. It is called by our prophet Muhammad in this
hadith

‫ض ٌة َع َلى ُكل ِّ ُم ْسل ٍِم َو ُم ْسلِ َم ٍة‬

َ ‫ب ا ْل ِع ْل ِم َف ِر ْي‬
ُ ‫َط َل‬
“The acquisition of knowledge is a duty in cumbent on every Moslem, male and
female.”  (Related by Muslim)

            Why our prophet Muhammad obligate us to looking for science? Because science is
very important to our life. With science we can conquer the creatures in this world, like
mountains, sky, moon, sun, fier animal and the planets.

            Ladies and gentlemen, with science we can be leader of all creatures in this world, we
can be the best because of our science. If we don’t have will be like the other creatures. We
will be foolish men and we do not know anything.

Therefore, who want to get fortunate in this world, they must have science of world,
so that who want to get fortunate in hereafter, they must have science of religion and do it in

the life every day. Like said by our prophet Muhammad said:

“Whosoever wants the world he should have knowledge, whosoever wants the next world
hereafter he should have knowledge, too and whosoever wants both, the world and the next
world hereafter, he should have knowledge.”

As human being, we have reason and intelligence. With this reason, we can look for
science that will make us different from animal. The other creatures like animal and plant are
unable to look for science, because they have no reason. That is why man is superior to other
creatures. For example, man can conquer all creatures in this world such as huge mountain,
giant trees, wild animal and so on.

We can imagine, suppose if we had knowledge, will be the same as the other creatures
even worse than they are. Look at a crazy man, he is worse than animal, isn’t he? Time and
place do not limit looking for science. The holy prophet said:
ْ ‫ُأ‬   
‫طلُبُوا ْال ِع ْل َم ِم َن ْال َم ْه ِد اِل َى اللَّ ْه ِد‬
” Seek knowledge from the cradle until the grave” 
ْ ‫ُأ‬     
‫طلُبُوا ْال ِع ْل َم َولَ ْو بِالصِّ ي ِْن‬
“Seek knowledge although in Cina”

Islam ordains a long-life education. As long as we are still a live, we still have
obligation look for knowledge.

Dear Muslims!
That’s all for the time being, I would like you to forgive me if I made mistakes in my speech.
Thank a lot for your full attention to me.
