Assalamualaikum wbt wrt.
I would like to begin my speech today by
revealing to you the silent truth of our ummah in
this 21st century. Either we realise or not, the sta-
tistics has shown a tremendously unexpected fig-
ure that surprises us. According to National Regis-
tration Department of Malaysia, about 257,000 of
cases of illegitimate child recorded in Malaysia
from 2000 to 2008. In average about 2,500 were
recorded every month or
83.3 cases every day.
This means that there is
one case of illegitimate
baby for every 17
minutes in our country.
How this moral illness
promoted by the west-
erners can does be ac-
cepted and spread in our
beloved nation. This
numbers only represent
the cases of illegitimate
baby registered under
national registration department of Malaysia. Can
we imagine what number will come out if we look
for the number of unregistered number of illegiti-
mate babies? Maybe it can be double or even tri-
ple. The worst case is when these irresponsible
mothers were forced to dump their babies dread-
fully after feeling upset to the consequence of their
immoral behavior. This condemned act has con-
tributed about 580 cases of dumping babies from
2000-2006 in Malaysia. Even though the number
is not that big the recent cases show a critical situ-
ation where the child was found hopelessly in the
trash and toilet bowl last August in Melaka.
Not to mention that we, the Muslim are
the champion of drug misuse in Malaysia, I don't
intent to reveal more devastating statistics that
prove we are the champion of various social ills
which will only humiliate us.
Honored guests, brothers and sisters,
I believe that other Muslim nations also
share the same concern about this unrestrained
moral disease. Maybe today we are not concerned
enough, or is there something wrong with our sen-
sitivity? We might say that it happens in their
country, NOT our country.
It happens in their state,
NOT our state. Or we
might think it just happens
in the city next to us, NOT
in our neighborhood. Or it
just happens to our neighbour NOT our family.
But when it happens to our own sister, our daugh-
ter what else could we say? How do we feel and
how do we react? Do we just sit down and enjoy
the sad news and do
nothing? Or is it suf-
fices to advise our
children to stay at
home in the era where
the entire negative
influences could easi-
ly slink towards them
from each angle?
Ladies and gentle-
men,
The reason
why I bring this issue
is because we are one ummah, and one ummah
shows their real concern among their brothers. As
mentioned in the hadith narrated by Huzaifah:
مه نم َهتم بانمسهمُه فهُس منهم""
أن شأن انمسهمُه أن َعتنٍ بعضهم بما َهم انبعض اِخش،
وانمقصىد مه رنك واسد فٍ صحُح اِثاس، ففٍ صحُح انبخاسٌ
ومسهم، وانهفظ نهبخاسٌ عه اننعمان به بشُش قال: قال سسىل هللا
صهً هللا عهُه وسهم: "تشي انمؤمنُه فٍ تىادهم وتشاحمهم كمثم
انجسذ انىاحذ إرا اشتكً عضى منه تذاعً نه سائش انجسذ بانسهش
وانحمً"
وفٍ صحُح انبخاسٌ وسنه انتشمزٌ واننسائٍ عه أبٍ مىسً
األشعشٌ أن سسىل هللا صهً هللا عهُه وسهم قال: "انمؤمه نهمؤمه
كانبنُان َشذ بعضه بعضا".
The evidence in the Quran and Sunnah
has strongly proven to us that we are one ummah
and we shall always unite as one ummah under the
deen of Islam. Allah s.w.t says in the Quran;
"Verily this Ummah of yours is one Um-
mah..." (Al-Qur'an, 21:92.)
"And hold fast by the covenant of Allah
all together, and be not disunited..." (Al-Qur'an,
3:103)
The unity of the Muslim ummah is a real-
Ibrahim Mohd Hasan Naib Presiden I PEMBINA
Sebaran maklumbalas, sila hub-
ungi kami di :
ity proclaimed in the Qur'an, in the verse mentioned and numer-
ous others like them; it is one of the key strengths of the Ummah
at many levels, from the cultural to the political. It is the unity of
the ummah, the common understanding that all Muslims are
brothers and sisters in faith that makes Muslims feel at home
wherever they may go in the Muslim world. However, nowadays
the colonizers have been separating and dividing us by regions
and races.
The physical segregation seems to be very devastating;
however there is something worst that we must worry about. It is
the segregation of our life from the true Islamic teaching. The
real root cause that prevents us from being united as one ummah
comes from ourselves the moment we abandon the Islamic
Teaching of Quran and Sunnah. We start to blame each other and
have no concern about what happen to our brothers even in our
own country. We start to lose our own identity as one ummah and
let the westerners to mold our generation. Either we realize or
not, our ummah is imitating the western culture and lifestyle and
yet we are still proud of it.
Brothers and sisters,
There is a famous quote believed to be Edmund Buke
that says, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for
good men to do nothing". It clearly reflects the condition of our
ummah right now where it is enough for us to spend our time,
absolutely do nothing to let the ummah fall down, let the immoral
values spread and affect our sibling, without ourselves do nothing
about it. There will be no assurance that our siblings and our fam-
ily are safe from negative influence especially at time where eve-
ryone is being selfish. According to the Newton's laws of motion,
everybody remains in a state of rest or uniform motion (constant
velocity) unless it acted upon by an external unbalanced force. It
means that illicit moral value can easily destroy our ummah by
just letting it spread without taking any action. This also means
that there is a need for us to take an action in order to gain back
our own identity as one ummah.
Whenever we talk about action, there are several steps
or level of action that could be taken. However it is better to
begin with something that is workable and applicable to us. Let
start with us as graduates of IIUM, the process shall starts from
grassroots' education that is aligned with the philosophy that is
set by the university. According to this philosophy, knowledge is
propagated in the spirit of Tawhid, leading towards the recogni-
tion of Allah as the Absolute Creator and Master of mankind. The
spirit behind this recognition of Allah as the Lord of the World
(Rabbal-Alamin) represents the apex in the hierarchy of
knowledge. Thus, all disciplines of knowledge should lead to-
wards subservience of this truth. This is because knowledge is a
form of trust (amanah) from Allah to man, and hence man should
utilize knowledge according to Allah's will in performing his role
as the servant and vicegerent (khalifah) of Allah on earth. In this
way, the seeking of knowledge is regarded as an act of worship.
Ladies and gentlemen,
On this precious day, upon the completion of our study,
we must realize that IIUM also groom us to become the leaders
of the ummah. Thus the development and the facilities that IIUM
has given us show its high expectations and hope for us to be-
come an all rounded world class leaders. Let us not point to oth-
ers but let start with us. I believe that most of us have been con-
tributing during our 4 years of study here. I would like to con-
gratulate all of you especially those who spent their time and ef-
fort in giving their service to the ummah. However our contribu-
tion towards the community shall not stop on this day. We have a
great responsibility since we carry the title as the khayra ummah
(the best of ummah).
When I mentioned about khayra ummah, it seems to be
very idealistic and far to be realized. In actual fact, what is im-
portant thing is the effort that we put in and the contribution that
we can make even in a small portion as Allah counts every single
effort and not just the end result. Actually there is a lot of room
for us to make a difference in our society voluntarily especially
through non-governmental organizations or residential associa-
tions. I myself as an activist in Persatuan Belia Islam Nasional
(PEMBINA) a youth based organization, I realize that there are a
lot that we can do. I am also an active member of PEMBINA
since student days in which I was elected to the Central Commit-
tee early this year. I believe this is a way for graduates to contrib-
ute back to the society. I hope that one day PEMBINA can be
registered within the university so that many other students can
benefit from its wide range of programs. As the Vice President I
of PEMBINA, I must make sure that the youth in Malaysia must
engage in activities that can rebuild our Muslim identity and
shows our pride and leadership to become the catalyst in the um-
mah. Even though I have to forgo my precious weekend by at-
tending meetings and programs, I feel happy and proud to start
seeing our youth join various programs such as usrah and leaving
behind the negative elements. The institution of Usrah is not con-
fined to university only, but an ongoing development for. I would
like to convey my appreciation to IIUM for its tarbiyyah based
program that has enriched my university experience. Besides the
activities organized by the university, I have also benefited in a
great manner from the programs organized by NGOs namely
Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia, ISMA. I believe students should take
full advantage from the amendments of AUKU that had removed
the prohibition for students to be involved in NGOs registered
legally. The most important thing is that we find tranquility dur-
ing the day we meet our Creator and can answer upon the respon-
sibilities in front of Him.
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱملَوتَ وَٱحلَيَوٰةَ لِيَبلُوَكُم أَيُّكُم أَحسَنُ عَمَال وَهُوَ ٱلعَزِيزُ ٱلغَفُورُ
"He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is
best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-
Forgiving." (67:2)
Teman-teman yang saya kasihi,
Hari ini merupakan hari bersejarah bagi kita, hari yang
telah kita nanti-nantikan bersama. Today is the day, the day that
we have been waiting for to celebrate our success. Congratula-
tions to all of us for our achievement. I would also like to thank
all lecturers who have enriched us with valuable knowledge and
experience during our memorable time here. Today we have
proven to ourselves that we could make it, alhamdulillah.
Akhir sekali, saya ucapkan tahniah kepada semua rakan-
rakan seperjuangan. Inilah hari kita menuai hasil usaha gigih kita
selama ini. Congratulations to all of us.
Wabillahitaufik walhidayah, wassalamualaikum.
DAKWAH
DAKWAH
DAKWAH
Assalammualaikum.
Di sini saya ingin berkongsi sedikit tips
untuk seimbangkan di antara dakwah dan pelajaran.
Tatkala ini di sebahagian besar IPTA atau IPTS se-
dang berlangsung musim peperiksaan. Nampaknya
semua orang ketika ini tidak mampu untuk berpisah
dengan buku masing-masing. Program-program
sampingan pun sudah ditinggalkan sebentar. Bukan
bermakna aktiviti dakwah kita terhenti semasa pepe-
riksaan ini. Cuma masing-masing fikir, sedang hendak
tambah ilmu, selepas itu barulah aktif berdakwah lagi.
Cari titik tolak yang menjadi minat
Saya mengambil jurusan perniangaan di IPT
walaupun ketika sekolah dahulu saya merupakan pela-
jar sains teknikal. Pada semester pertama, subjek fi-
nancial accounting dan business math merupakan kill-
er subject buat saya. Jika sebelum ini saya sibuk
mengkaji di makmal-makmal tetapi sekarang saya
terpaksa bermain dengan kalkulator.
Terlalu banyak saya tidak tahu dan perlu bela-
jar. “Begitu banyak rupanya aku tidak tahu,” monolog
yang sering bermain di minda saya. Namun, itu semua
bukan suatu masalah buat saya kerana sekali dah ter-
jun dalam dunia ilmu perniagaan saya kenalah ber-
saing demi menuntut ilmu. Pembentangan dan kertas
projek yang harus saya siapkan bagi mendapat markah
dari pensyarah. Laporan tentang-tentang syarikat-
syarikat besar di dunia, untuk membuat kajian juga
merupakan satu masalah buat saya kerana sebelum ini
saya membuat kajian dengan alat-alat makmal, tetapi
sekarang berbeza. Ia suatu cabaran buat saya!
Perlu bercita-cita besar
Kebanyakan pelajar yang menceburi jurusan
perniagaan ini begitu bercita-cita tinggi. Sama ada ter-
ingin menjadi seorang hartawan, usahawan dan
bahkan dermawan. Benarkah jika kita berduit, ada ru-
mah besar, kereta besar dan mampu membeli apa sa-
haja, akan mudah mempengaruhi orang lain agar
memikul agenda-agenda kita?
Sebagai seorang muslim, kita perlu jelas men-
gapa kita menceburi sesuatu jurusan. Apakah
matlamat yang ingin kita capai? Sama ada ia akan
memberikan manfaat kepada semua dan yang paling
penting apakah sumbangannya kepada agama Islam?
Adakah hanya kerana kita ini seorang ahli per-
niagaan yang berjaya, kita pasti mampu
mempengaruhi masyarakat agar tertarik dengan apa
yang bakal kita perkatakan? Apalah pentingnya orang-
orang ramai hanya dipengaruhi dek kerana harta-harta
kita yang bertimbun? Bahkan, muliakah niat dan cita-
cita ingin hidup mewah dan berharta ini?
Tidak semestinya jika kita hanya memiliki ker-
jaya yang hebat, orang akan mendengar kata-kata kita
dan gerak kerja organisasi dapat dijalankan dengan
lancar.
Genggam bara api
Dakwah yang kita bawa punya kuasa tarikan
tersendiri. Ia lahir dari hubungan dengan Allah yang
erat. Andai kita belajar, hidup, bekerja dan segalanya
di atas muka bumi ini kerana Allah.
Realiti umat Islam kini begitu bergantung
kepada orang-orang bukan Islam dalam kebanyakan
urusan. Kepenggunaan, daripada sekecil-kecil keperlu-
an seperti barang-barang dapur sehinggalah kepada
urusan pemilikan hartanah, kereta dan rumah kedia-
man, hampir semuanya didominasi oleh orang-orang
bukan Islam.
Sagu kebebasan umat Islam di bumi sendiri
tidak akan dapat diperolehi seandainya ruyung yang
bergoyantangan di dalam kita sendiri masih tidak
dandandan PELAJARAN AKTIVISME
Oleh : Afnan Khumaira
mampu kita pecahkan. Bisakah ia menjadi realiti
selagi belia-belia Islam bercita-cita tinggi untuk men-
jadi orang-orang biasa yang tidak punya keazaman
dan agenda besar dalam hidupnya. Yang tidak mahu
berusaha keras dan tiada keinginan yang luar biasa.
Destinasi perjalanan masuh jauh nun di ufuk
sana. Jalannya penuh onak duri, hutan belantara, badai
dan taufan. Begitu payah. Tetapi dengan cita-cita mur-
ni yang tinggi dan kebergantungan yang erat dengan
Allah, tiada apa yang mustahil di atas muka bumi ini.
Kita harus sedar, menyoroti nasib yang men-
impa umat, menuntut pengorbanan untuk kita me-
nyempurnakan tugas-tugas yang belum terselesaikan.
Belajarlah, dan tuntutlah ilmu sebanyak-banyaknya.
Sedalam-dalamnya. Yakinlah Allah akan membantu
kita. Ingatlah, bahawa perjuangan memartabatkan Is-
lam itu merupakan nadi hidup kita.
Tiada istimewa atau mulianya perkataan
„daie‟, „pendakwah‟ mahupun “murobbi” jika ia seka-
dar label untuk melonjakkan diri di kalangan manusia.
Kita ini sama sahaja seperti orang lain yang punya
keluarga, anak, suami, isteri. Malah jika bekerjaya kita
juga perlu hadiri saban mesyuarat, bekerja mem-
banting tulang siang dan malam untuk mencari rezeki.
Akan tetapi, seandainya kita menjadikan perjuangan
Islam sebagai agenda kehidupan, yang menegakkan
kalimah Allah walau di mana sahaja bila-bila masa,
dan kita dokong Islam itu bersama, di sinilah letaknya
perbezaan kita dengan orang-orang biasa. Allah telah
memuliakan kita dengan agama Islam. Jadi, seha-
rusnya kita punya sesuatu untuk dipersembahkan se-
bagai tanda syukur kepada Allah.
Anas bin Malik meriwayatkan, Rasulullah
SAW bersabda, “Akan tiba suatu zaman, orang-orang
yang bersabar dalam menegakkan agamanya ibarat
orang yang sedang menggenggam bara api.”
Kenalpasti kekuatan dan kelemahan dalam pelaja-
ran
Kita perlu jujur kepada diri. Kenalpasti
kelemahan sendiri. Satu teknik belajar yang berkesan
adalah tidak dipengaruhi cara belajar orang lain tetapi
punya teknik sendiri. Ini kerana setiap manusia yang
dijadikan Allah itu unik. Kita perlu kenal pasti
kelemahan sendiri, senaraikan, jadualkan waktu men-
gulangkaji dan perkemaskan cara belajar agar kita
mampu mencapai kejayaan yang disasarkan. Tidak
mengapa jika merasa tidak pandai dan tidak tahu, da-
ripada kita sering menyangka diri kita pandai dan tahu
semua perkara. Apabila kita menyedari perkara-
perkara yang tidak kita ketahui dan lemah, sudah tentu
semangat untuk lebih berusaha dan belajar bersungguh
-sungguh itu akan lebih membara.
Kenal pasti di mana kekuatan dan penguasaan
kita dalam pelajaran. Semua pancaindera yang ada
harus digunakan sebaiknya agar kita dapat fahami dan
kuasai silibus dengan dengan mudah.
Jangan jadikan dakwah “escapisme”
Sesetengah pelajar, apabila menghadapi
tekanan dan stress semasa studi. Mereka mula menyi-
bukkan diri dengan aktiviti dakwah umpamanya se-
bagai escapism, dengan harapan Allah akan memu-
dahkannya di atas pengorbanannya dalam aktiviti-
aktiviti dakwah. Ia suatu mitos yang jauh dari hakikat!
Seseorang itu tidak akan berjaya melakukan
sesuatu melainkan berusaha bersungguh-sungguh un-
tuk mengatasinya. Tidak ada di dunia ini yang akan
tergolek datang dengan kuasa magis, termasuk ke-
jayaan.
Moga-moga Allah memberikan hidayah dan
kekuatan buat semua ahli PEMBINA yang bakal
menghadapi peperiksaan.
