Assalamualaikum wr.

wb
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.

To all the dearest ladies, gentlemen, and audience,


Prophet Muhammad was born into the world. His coming brought duties. His leaving left traces.
His coming brought duties which were finished in 23 years. His coming to the world is to mend
the manners (sholihah akhlak) so that all of his followers will turn into well-mannered people
(makarimal akhlak)
Well-mannered to whom?
Well-mannered to Allah who created us
Well-mannered to Allahs Messenger
Well-mannered to each belief we embrace
Well-mannered to own selves
Well-mannered to parents
Well-mannered to people
Well-mannered to our mother land
Well-mannered to the nation
Well-mannered to Allah
For example, before eating we must pray by saying bismillahirahmanirahim (In the name of
Allah the Most Gracious the Most Benevolent). It is a well-mannered deed to Allah.
Well-mannered to Rasulullah (Allahs Messenger)
Rasul is a great gateway of belief. Therefore, we are supposed to always be well-mannered to
Rasulullah.
Well-mannered to each belief we embrace
Every belief teaches the holiness. Therefore, we need to be well-mannered in having religion. In
Al Quran we are forbidden to destroy synagogues, churches, or mosques, and the places where
the names of Allah are mentioned. For that reason, if there is a person who destroys a church in
the name of religion, it is totally a lie. It is indeed in the name of his/her lust.
Well-mannered to own self
Like how we are ordered to cover our aurat (a part of body which may not be visible) is a deed to
be well-mannered to own self. Seven layers of sky and seven layers of earth which were created
by Allah are like coconut husks, while the diamonds are the humans. Therefore, be wellmannered to own selves!
Well-mannered to parents
Do not make ourselves become insubordinate children like a story of a mother from a village who
succeeded to make her son become success person. But someday when his mother came to
see him, she was not honored and driven away by his son. The loatheness of the mother caused
by her sons deeds finally made her son and all of his family punished by Allahs wrath by the
annihilation of all of his places and families. The son was supposed to be proud of his mother
who had succeed to make him a success person compared to other parents who might not be
able to do the same thing as his mother did.
Well-mannered to other people
In life, we cannot stand outside of society. Therefore, we must be well-mannered to them.

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.

Assalamu Alaikum wr.Wb


Tiada kata yang pantas untuk diucapkan kecuali memanjatkan puji syukur kehadirat Allah SWT
yang telah melimpahkan segala rohmat, taufiq, dan hidayahnya kepada kita sekalian. Sehingga
kita masih dapat menikmati anugrah terindahnya berupa kesehatan serta oksigen yang kita hirup
tanpa harus membayar sepeserpun.
Solawat serta salam mudah-mudahan tetap tercurahkan kepada junjungan Nabi besar kita
Muhammad SAW yang telah menunjukkan kita dari jalan yang gelap gulita menuju jalan yang
terang benderang.
Bapak-bapak, Ibu-ibu, para hadirin yang saya hormati.
Tanggal 12 Rabiul Awal 1431 H, bertepatan pada 26 Februari 2010 seluruh kaum muslim
merayakan maulid Nabi Muhammad SAW, tidak lain merupakan warisan peradaban Islam yang
dilakukan secara turun temurun.
Dalam catatan historis, Maulid dimulai sejak zaman kekhalifahan Fatimiyah di bawah pimpinan
keturunan dari Fatimah az-Zahrah, putri Muhammad. Perayaan ini
dilaksanakan atas usulan panglima perang, Shalahuddin al-Ayyubi (1137M-1193 M), kepada
khalifah agar mengadakan peringatan hari kelahiran Muhammad.
Tujuannya adalah untuk mengembalikan semangat juang kaum muslimin dalam perjuangan
membebaskan Masjid al-Aqsha di Palestina dari cengkraman kaum Salibis. Yang kemudian,
menghasilkan efek besar berupa semangat jihad umat Islam menggelora pada saat itu.
Secara subtansial, perayaan Maulid Nabi adalah sebagai bentuk upaya untuk mengenal akan
keteladanan Muhammad sebagai pembawa ajaran agama Islam. Tercatat dalam sepanjang
sejarah kehidupan, bahwa nabi Muhammad adalah pemimipn besar yang sangat luar biasa
dalam memberikan teladan agung bagi umatnya.
Dalam tatanan sejarah sosio antropologis Islam, Muhammad dapat dilihat dan dipahami dalam
dua dimensi sosial yang berbeda dan saling melengkapi.
Pertama, dalam perspektif teologis-religius, Muhammad dilihat dan dipahami sebagai sosok nabi
sekaligus rasul terakhir dalam tatanan konsep keislaman. Hal ini memposisikan Muhammad
sebagai sosok manusia sakral yang merupakan wakil Tuhan di dunia yang bertugas membawa,
menyampaikan, serta mengaplikasikan segala bentuk pesan suci Tuhan kepada umat manusia
secara universal.
Kedua, dalam perspektif sosial-politik, Muhammad dilihat dan dipahami sebagai sosok politikus
andal. Sosok individu Muhammad yang identik dengan sosok pemimpin yang adil, egaliter,
toleran, humanis, serta non-diskriminatif dan hegemonik, yang kemudian mampu membawa
tatanan masyarakat sosial Arab kala itu menuju suatu tatanan masyarakat sosial yang sejahtera
dan tentram.
Karena bukan menjadi rahasia lagi bila kita sedang membutuhkan sosok pemimpin bangsa yang
mampu merekonstruksikan suatu citra kepemimpinan dan masyarakat sosial yang ideal, egaliter,

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.

Sopan kepada masyarakat


Dalam kehidupan ini kita tidak bisa keluar dari masyarakat, maka kita harus sopan kepada
masyarakat.
Sopan kepada ibu pertiwi
Hadis Cinta tanah air bagian dari iman adalah bentuk kesopanan kepada ibu pertiwi. Pendahulu
kita memberikan lambang negara berbentuk Garuda Pancasila melambangkan jiwa yang besar.
Namun yang terjadi sekarang jiwa bangsa Indonesia sedang sakit kronis dengan semakin
berkurangnya rasa Cinta Tanah Air
Sedangkan pada siapa kita diajar untuk santun? Kita diajar santun kepada anak-anak yatim Kita
diajar santun kepada para fakir miskin Kita diajar santun kepada orang-orang yang teraniaya
Kita diajar santun kepada orang-orang yang terkena bencana.
Semoga uraian ini bermanfaat. Mohon maaf jika ada kata-kata yang kurang berkenan.
wAssalamu alaikum wr. wb.
