Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Honorable judges and all audiences here, First of all, let’s say our praise and gratitude only to
Allah Swt due to His grace and blessings upon us so that on this good time and occasion we
all can still gather in this place in the best of our health. Shawalat and salam, we will say to
our greatest prophet, Muhammad SAW, his family, his friends and his followers. Amen.

Ladies and Gentlemen, in this opportunity, i would like to deliver my speech on the tittle
“Ukhuwah Islamiyah As The Power of Nation”.

Ukhuwah islamiyah is brotherhood in islamic sight. At country which full of diversity like
Indonesia, togetherness and brotherhood absolutely needed. And ukhuwah islamiyah is
suitable way to keep that unity.

As we know, our country, Indonesia, stands on many differences. Like religion differences,
tribes and cultures. Those differences be special challenge for us, because if there is no strong
unity to face the case, that condition will be able to make separate among of us. We can see
together war between tribes in Papua, fighting between students in big cities and commotion
between religions peoples in many corner of Indonesia. Those are the real samples we can
see , and religion always be the most sensitive issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen

Islam, as the majority religion of Indonesians, certainly has big responsibility to keep the
unity. And unity is first requirment for keeping the integrity of the nation. Islam in
Qur’an letter Al-Hujuraat verse 10 said firmly that all of moslems are brothers. Nothing more
principal in a brotherhood except togetherness sense that will makes the unity. Then, that
concern with importance of unity in nation sight, especially in Indonesia.

Ladies and Gentlemen...

Begin with ukhuwah islamiyah, making the one islam, strong islam and no disunity again as
we know nowadays. Making tolerance between other religions is the next step must be
done. By unity, this country will be get a big power to answer the global challenge.

Economy crisis, moral crisis and trust crisis which trap this country will clear soon, kick by
big power from strong ukhuwah all over religions.

People who have ukhuwah sense in themselves, absolutelly will never let their brothers live
under the poverty line. The way that is possible to do is making employement fields which
intend to poor people. So economy life in this country will be better slowly. And also power
to solve moral and trust crisis. It will become a big power atmosfer fulfilling this countrty.

Ladies, gentlemen, and all the companions blessed by Allah. It’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. So, let’s we increase ukhuwah islamiyah in ourselves.

Ladies and Gentlemen..

That’s all I could say. I wish we can meet again someday. Please forgive me for the mistakes
on my words. Thanks for the attention.

Wassalamualaikum warohmatullahi wabarakatuh.
