There are words worthy saying except to extend all the praise to Allah Swt due to all of his
blessing, mercy, and guidance upon all of us so that we can still take the benefit from His
blessing, namely the good health and oxygen we breathe in without any need to cost anything.
Sholawat and salam may everlastingly be upon our adoration, Great Prophet Muhammad SAW
who had guided and
led us from darkness into the shining bright path.
To all the honorable ladies, gentlemen, and audience,
On the 12th Rabiul Awal 1431 H coincided on 26th February 2010, all of the Muslims are
celebrating Maulid (the birth) of Prophet Muhammad SAW, thats nothing but the heritage of
Islamic civilizations which has been carried out from generation to generation.
In historical record, Maulid was started since the Caliph era of Fatimiyah under the rule of the
descendant of Fatimah Az-Zahrah, Daughter of Muhammad.
This celebration was carried out under the suggestion of Warlord Shalahuddin Al-Ayyubi (1137
1193 AC), towards the caliphates in order to celebrate the day of Muhammads birth.
Its all carried out in order to regain the spirits of fight of Muslims under the struggle in order to
free Mosque Al-Aqsha in Palestine from the holds of Christians, and then create massive effects,
namely spirits of Jihad for Muslims which were impassioned at that time.
Substantially, the celebration of Maulid of Prophet is as a form of effort to know about the
example of Muhammad as the disseminator of Islamic teachings. Recorded throughout the
history of life, Prophet Muhammad is an amazing and great leader in giving esteemed examples
for his followers.
In the Islamic socio-anthropological and historical order, Muhammad could be seen and
understood in two different social dimensions that complement in each other.
Firstly, in the theological-religious perspective, Muhammad was seen and understood as a figure
of prophet as well as the last Messenger of God in the Islamic order of concept. This positions
Muhammad as a figure of holy man who became a representative of God in the world who had
duties to bring, deliver, and implement all the forms of holy massages of God to mankind
universally.
Secondly, in the social-political perspective, Muhammad was seen and understood as an
excellent figure of politician. Muhammads individual figure which was identical to wise, tolerant,
humanist, and indiscriminative and hegemonic leader made him lead Arabian social society order
at that time in order to reach for prosperous and peaceful social society order.
It has become general news that we are in need of a nation leader figure that is able to reinstruct
an image of leadership and social society which are ideal, tolerant, humanist, and
indiscriminative just like Prophet Muhammad did for the mankind.
The contextuality of Maulid celebration isnt only understood through the Islamic perspectives,
but also it needs to be understood from other perspectives that involve all the issues, such as
politics, cultures, economics, or religions.
Well-mannered to motherland
A hadith that tells about loving the motherland is a part of faith which is a well-mannered deed to
mother land. Our predecessors made the Garuda Pancasila as a symbol of our nation that
symbolizes a great soul and spirit. However, what is happening now is that the souls of
Indonesian people are having a chronic sickness since the love of homeland is fading away over
time.
And then, to whom are we taught to be well-mannered? We are taught to be well-mannered to
the orphanages, needy people, and those people who are troubled by the disasters.
I wish my speech could bring all the good things for each of us. I say my apology for the mistakes
on my words.
Wassalamualaikum.
toleran, humanis dan nondiskriminatif, sebagaimana dilakukan Muhammad untuk seluruh umat
manusia.
Kontekstualisasi peringatan Maulid tidak lagi dipahami dari perspektif keislaman saja, melainkan
harus dipahami dari berbagai perspektif yang menyangkut segala persoalan. Misal, politik,
budaya, ekonomi, maupun agama.
Bapak-bapak, Ibu-ibu, para hadirin yang saya cintai. Nabi Muhammad dilahirkan ke dunia.
Datangnya membawa tugas. Perginya meninggalkan bekas.
Datangnya membawa tugas yang diselesaikan dalam 23 tahun.
Datangnya ke dunia diperintah untuk memperbaiki budi pekerti (sholihah Akhlak)
supaya ummat ini menjadi umat yang sopan santun (makarimal akhlak)
Sopan terhadap siapa?
Sopan terhadap Alloh yang telah menciptakan kita
Sopan terhadap Rosululloh
Sopan terhadap agama yang kita peluk masing-masing
Sopan terhadap diri sendiri Sopan terhadap orangtua Sopan terhadap masyarakat Sopan
terhadap ibu pertiwi Sopan terhadap negara.
Sopan terhadap Alloh.
Contohnya bagaimana kita sebelum makan berdoa dulu bismillahirrohmanirrohim. Dengan nama
Alloh Yang Maha Pengasih lagi Maha Pemurah adalah bentuk kesopanan kita kepada Alloh.
Sopan terhadap Rosululloh,
Rosul merupakan pintu gerbang agung agama. Maka sudah sepantasnya kita sopan kepada
Rosululloh
Sopan terhadap agama yang kita peluk masing-masing.
Semua agama mengajarkan kesucian. Karena itu kita harus sopan dalam beragama.
Dalam Al Quran kita dilarang untuk merusak sinagog, gereja, masjid-masjid tempat nama Alloh
disebut. Maka kalau ada orang yang sampai merusak gereja atas nama agama, itu adalah
kebohongan. Itu adalah atas nama hawa nafsu mereka sendiri.
Sopan kepada diri sendiri
Bagaimana kita diperintah untuk menutup aurat adalah bentuk kesopanan pada diri sendiri dan
sebaik-baik pakaian adalah pakaian takwa. Tujuh lapis langit dan tujuh lapis bumi yang
diciptakan Alloh ini ibarat sepet (kulit sabut kelapa-red.), sedangkan berliannya adalah manusia,
maka sopanlah kepada diri sendiri.
Sopan kepada orang tua
Jangan sampai kita durhaka seperti kisah bagaimana seorang dari desa yang berhasil
menyekolahkan anaknya sampai menjadi sarjana dan orang yang sukses. Tapi ketika orang
tuanya datang tidak dihormati malah diusir. Ketidak-relaan orang tua menyebabkan anak itu dan
keluarganya diazab Alloh dengan dihancurkan rumah dan keluarganya. Padahal seharusnya si
anak bangga dengan orang tuanya yang tinggal di desa tersebut karena telah berhasil mendidik
anaknya menjadi orang yang sukses dibandingkan dengan orang kota yang belum tentu berhasil
mendidik anaknya menjadi orang yang sukses.
