“THE ROLE OF ISLAMIC STUDENTS IN GLOBALIZATION ERA”

As we know well that globalization is an era marked by missing the

territorial limit of nation. It enables the nation culture interferences. So that, politics,
economy, culture of nation can influence, color and inspire of the other nations
policies.

Globalization gives not only positive effects of the rapid science,

information and technology development but also brings about many religion and
culture principle divergences of the nation. Those become the cause of a drop in
autonomy and identity of the nation.

Happy brothers and sisters!

Let’s pay attention more what happens in our surroundings at present! Free
sex, pornography, alcoholic drink and drugs become youth customs in this country.
Most of them always imitate what becomes “up to date” without filtering and
thinking before. And they never make balance between thought and desire, planning
and implementation and between ability and action. In addition, they do not
preserve the Islamic laws because they think that religion is the symbol only
whereas, youth is the generation next of this country. So how this country’s future
is if most of them get a drop in their moral values?

Dear Moslem Brothers!

When we talk about the youngsters in Indonesia, we often find in many

articles and we ourselves even witness and support the development of nation. They
are the hope of the nation who will carry out the struggle for the sake of the brighter
future of the country. Similarly, they are at the same time, the hope of Islam religion
who will strive for the sake of Islamic teaching in the next maintenance of the
Islamic laws, who will safeguard the young Moslem generation at large from the
influence of destructive western lifestyle, who will be the leaders for the next, it
ْ ‫ِِاليَ ْومِِر َجال‬
was yelled as: (ِ‫ِِالغَد‬ ْ ‫ )شبَّان‬Today is young, tomorrow will be a leader

This statement encourages us to pay attention to the youngers existence in

the future. By knowing all the facts, we realize how important the role of the young
generation has in the future. The youth supposedly symbolize the force that never
becomes weak quickly. The youngsters play significant roles and have a great
potency and energy that can be prided.

Dear Moslem in One Aqedah!

Therefore, our religion enjoins us to be flexible Moslem leaders for the

society who ultimately have to devote themselves for the development of Moslem
community at large. Ironically in the ICT (Information and Communication
Technology) era we witness the conducts of young people are always against the
Islamic laws. We pay attention to many young people who are not aware of their
education, their future and it is poor if we see our Moslem brothers in our country
behaving badly and intentionally avoiding Islamic teachings to follow the western
culture. We can’t imagine and describe what is going to happen in the next time if
all young Moslem people are careless in their responsibility.
 We have to be aware that the responsibility of nation developing and
religion establishing depend on the young generation. By those considerations we
should be very careful with any of destructive western lifestyle and culture that
would affect the Islamic values and teachings.

As the Moslem generation, we have a great responsibility to the future of

religion and nation. Young generation is the only hope of the life of nation, the
development and the decline of nation depend on them. And the victory and the
destruction of religion and nation are on the hands of next generation. It’s quite
right what Mustofa Al-gholayain said in the book of Idhotun Nasyiin Yaa
masyarosyabaab, inna fii yadiikum amrol ummah, wafii aqdaamikum
hayaatahaa

Hi youth surely all kind of communities problem, in the success of not

depend on your hands, and surely the development of religion, nation and country
are on your shoulder.

Consequently, we are the next generation of this country; we have to keep

ourselves by faith, beliefs and piety in facing the globalization era. And we have to
be aware of conserving the Islamic laws. Moreover, we are the Islamic students
have obligation to fight against the weakness of our beloved nation.

Moslem brothers and sisters!

We should not keep silent when we know the negative changes that
happen in our society because of globalization era. As Islamic students we ought
to become figures in anticipating the negative effects of this global era.
Allah state in the noble Quran Al-I’mran

ِِ‫ةِيَ ۡدعونَِإلَىِٱ ۡلخ َۡيرِِ َويَ ۡأمرونَِبِٱ ۡل َمعۡ روفِِ َويَ ۡن َه ۡونَِ َعنِٱ ۡلمن َكر‬ٞ ‫َو ۡلتَكنِمنك ۡمِأ َّم‬
ِ ِ١٠٤َِِ‫َوأ ْوِلَئ َكِهمِٱ ۡلم ۡفلحون‬
In translation

And from among you there should be a party who invite to good and enjoin what is
right and forbid the wrong, and these it is that shall be successful. (Al- ‘Imran:104)

Meaning: let there are people who arise out of you a group of people inviting
to all that is good, enjoining alma’ruf and forbidding almunkar and those who are
the successful man.

Dear brothers and sisters!

The Islamic students with their moral forces and Islamic studies must be
proactive to guide what is and what globalization era is for and the purpose of it. So
that, let’s hope for the best. They become the public figures and they can color the
social and cultural lives of their society in achieving the goal. That’s good Moslem
is a good country.

Happy brothers and sisters!

As the generation next we should; take the positive effects of globalization

era only, raise our taqwa and realize our religious doctrine in our daily lives, become
good figures for the society in facing globalization, information and communication
technology.

Dear Moslems!

Last but not the least, I would like to call you all to prepare our generation
in order to be able to replace the old generation in the future. And I hope you and
all Moslem society and Moslem brothers wherever they are to obtain from bad
action and furthermore we have to develop our skill and potency to reach up the
brighter future. Amin ya robbal alamiin.
