My all brothers and sisters
First,
let us thank God very much for many blessing given to us, so that we are always
health and have power to do activities every day. And this morning, we can
smile and be together without any obstacle. Amen,,,
May praise of God always given to
the our great prophet who changed the world from Jahiliyah to be Islamiyah, and
also we hope His mediation in future. Amen..
Honorable
audience,
In this period, everything is
changed. Start from human behavior till to technology development. It makes
human thinking about future that may be sophisticated. It can be seen in our
environment. People use car and motorcycle as transportations instruments. Then
in the formal school like junior and senior high school have been using modern
tool for their learning. For example computer, LCD, and so on. In national
development that requires all of sides to follow this modern period. And often
it influences the rule of school. For instance, in some schools there are
required to buy note book for each student because more exercises in these
school must use internet access.
So how about in Islamic boarding
schools that applies a traditional behavior. Lets see the activities of santri
in Islamic boarding school. They still behave like people in 1900s that don’t
know technology more. It can be said that they just eat, study and sleep every
day. Whereas in the salaf Islamic boarding school, it’s the most traditional of
all. In their life just seeing old books that are hundreds in age. They only
focus to get sciences from their study and obey all of rule there, include they
must obey to the their master ask. it is the rule as santri. Further, usually
in an Islamic boarding school, it’s banned to use electronic tools such as HP,
television, and etc, because it can disturb santri’s concentration during
learning and studying holy books. If administrators know that santri breaks
this rule, there will be a punishment for him. It’s a common scenery we see in
each Islamic boarding school.
Honorable
ladies and gentlemen,
Now we know the behavior of santri
in Islamic boarding school generally. The raised problem now is about the rule.
Must the rule of santri in the Islamic boarding school be changed dealing with national development? So what part must
be changed?
Actually the rule of santri can be
equal with the national development. Now is modern era that all of thing we do
cannot be separated with technology. So it is not a fault that santri also
learns about technology more. Whereas it is very good way to develop santri’s
science and knowledge. In an Arabic adage was said:
“Subanul yaum rijalul ghod”
The youth today is for future generation
It means that the rising generation
will be the leader in the future for this country. So as repeating generation,
the youth must have science. Not only in religion but also in technology. If
santri has these science, it will be better because who want to success in the world, he must has science. Then who
wants to get success in hereafter life, he must has science. It is like what
prophet Muhammad ever said:
“man arodaddunya fa ‘alaihi bil ilmi, wa man arodal akhiroh fa
‘alaihi bil ilmi, wa man aroda huma, fa ‘alaihi bil ilmi”
It’s very clear that santri as the
rising generation in the future must has these sciences. In brief, the rule of
santri will be better to be changed that appropriate to the national
development, because there are many benefits that can be got by santri. Not
only for hereafter life, santri must learn a science dealing with modern era
and technology development. It can be santri’s provisions to face the challenge
in the future. But the important point to know that it needs a good management
of administrators and a lot of care from the master, so that it can walk as the
hope. It means that in national development, santri must develop their
experiences, skill and science not only on religion, but also in technology.
I think that is enough for my speech
today, I am sorry for all my mistakes. The last, thanks for your attention.
Wassalamualaikum wr. wb.
