Assalamu'alaikum Wr.Wb
Have you ever seen the students smoke? Have you ever
seen the students truant? Have you ever seen the students brawl? And have you
ever heard of the students that involved in free sex?
I think all will be say “yes”. This means that moral attitudes of Indonesian
teenagers have turned away from the values and norms of the real the real
Indonesia. Everyone involved in those bad things are students, the young people
who should have the best ethics because they have been educated through
educational institutions.
Why are all the things happen? Before you answer it, I
want to express an opinion. In Indonesia, I see the demand of academic value is
so high. When the students get the higher score, parents, teachers, and all
those around the will be more proud of these achievements. It makes us all
forget a really important thing, the moral education.
The people primary who have both knowledge and faith,
as Allah said in Az Zumar 39: 9 that
“Say: Are those who know equal who know not? It is only men of understanding
who will remember (i.e. get a lesson from Allah’s Signs and Verses)”
Technology advance is something unavoidable in daily
life. It always comes together with science, so that it is very needed.
We realize that technology advance brings a great deal
of benefits in the human life, which are on Education, Social, Economy and so
on.
We may not refuse a science and technology existence, however we have to take
the positive side of it. Thus, the science and technology can bring us to be a
beneficial generation for humankind.
However, the role of parents, islamic school, society
and government takes a great responsibility on making a young and tough
generation to face global challenge. Islamic school is one of the educational
intitutions which gives strong, basic religion, and general knowledges and
educates candidates of the godly and god-fearly leader to be a caliph on
Allah’s earth.
I would like to thank you all for giving me the opportunity to convey
these short useful messages.
Thank you for all the attention,
Wassalamualaikum wr wb.
