Happy ladies and gentleman

Thanks for the opportunity, so I can deliver my speech in front of you all today. The tittle of my speech
today is “Youth Generation That Brings Alteration”

Happy ladies and gentleman

Youth is a figure that always brings alterations. Alteration in life order of some era is quite influenced by
the role of youths. In 1982, youths gathered altogether and then took the pledge in order to tighten the
unity of Indonesia. This pledge was known as Youth Pledge. All youths from all over Indonesia from
various ethnics, cultures, languages, and regions strove for retaking the independence of nation
altogether.

Who doesn’t know Mr. Soekarno, our first president of Indonesia? Nobody doubted him in each of his
speech to encourage the youths in maintaining the independence of Indonesia. The long journey of
Indonesia to the national independence shows us how great the influence was regarding our nation’s
life. And then as the youth Muslim generation, what have we contributed to society, nation, religion,
and especially our own selves? Have we given any alteration?

A Muslim youth should go on with positive alterations day after day in his or her life. How a loss if a
Muslim youth is seen to be worse than yesterday. The success of a youth in dealing with a number of life
handicaps along with the good alterations will be the basic in how he or she brings alterations to his or
her surroundings and those that are bigger than that.
To all of my companions that I proud of,
Dr. Yusuf Qardhawi said that there are three things that underlie a youth as a foundation of alteration;
1. Youths come with brilliant brain
2. Youths have strong physicals
3. Youths behave objectively

From the three points above, we can come to the conclusion that to bring the balance of physical
alterations, youths also need to take into consider of three things that underlie spiritual alterations:
1. Youths need to have strong faith
2. Youth need to be always istiqamah in performing any religious services and duties
3. Youths have good manners or akhlak khasanah

Ladies, gentlemen, and all the companions blessed by AllahIt’s about the time for Muslim youths to rise
up for creating alterations in every line of life and keeping as well as maintaining the self-image of Islam.
Moreover, Islam has been being besieged from all over the directions. We need to increase our
knowledge about Islam by reading various books. Not only Islamic books but also those books whose
contents sometimes offense the world of Islam. Thus, youth generations can have the provisions to
become the agents of alteration.

Make our youth as the time that’s full of benefits and all the good things before the coming of old age,
when all of our spirits would fade away. What are we waiting for, if we can do the alteration now? Use
our youth times to become the part of Islam’s awakening history in Indonesia. That’s all I want to convey
in this speech, if there are mistakes, please be advised.
Thanks for the attention.

Wassalamu’alaikum. Wr.wb
