Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh...Alhamdulillah hirabbil’alamin.....................
To our honourable guess, madam Mizan Muhammad, deputy dean leadership and training department centre for foundation studies, international Islamic university Malaysia, brother firdaus and all students.
First and foremost, lets all say Alhamdulillah because He has given all of us Hidayah to come here today. I know some of you would rather go somewhere else on a day like this. Normally, most of you would already be on U85 bus on your way to Mid valley or maybe at home watching tv. make your intentions sincere and hopefully you’ll gain a lot from this programme. InsyaAllah...
Brothers and sisters,
Every single of us is a leader, whether we realize it or not. The Prophet s.a.w@p.b.u.h said that everyone is in charge of something and on judgement day, we’ll be asked about it. A verse from the holy Qur’an states that no man can bear the sins/burden of another man, so we must realize that even if we do not hold any positions in any groups or societies, we are still responsible for our own selves, for our own actions.
On a higher level, all of you will be in charge of more than yourselves in the near future, InsyaAllah. All of you will be getting married and pretty soon you will have to take care of your own family. Some of you will hold a high position in your job and maybe some of you will start business and last but not least, maybe become a wakil rakyat or ADUN in one day..who knows? Anything is possible.
The leadership programme will help you to become a better leader so that you will be prepared to face any obstacles in the future.
Brothers and sisters,
(Read verse 30, surah Al-baqarah)
“Behold, your lord said to the angles: “I’ll create a vicegerent on earth.” They said, “will you place therein one who will make mischief and shed blood?—whilst we do celebrate Your praises and glorify Your holy?” He said: “I know what you know not.”
This verse points out that we have been appointed as the vicegerents of this world.
But, our world today is dominated by non-Muslims. The USA, Israel, Europe and even the rising superpower China. They are all non-Muslims countries..Why is this so?
It is because our own weakness..
What about the Muslim leaders?
They are either tyrants, puppets of the west or cowards.
We can’t fight to give freedom for Palestine, or Iraq, Afghanistan because we still keep fighting on each other.
On top of that, we are still finding our place in the modern world.
You know the things that people said:
“Islam is barbaric”
“Islam oppresses women”
“Islam is this and Islam is that..”
Who is going to answer all this?
Who is going to stop the fighting?
Who is going to be a true Muslim leader?
The Prophet s.a.w said that “every 50-100 years, there will be a mujaddid(reformer) who will reform the religion. so, where is he?
Where is the next Jamaluddin al-Afghani?
Where is the next Sayyid Qutb?
Where is the next Mawdudi?
Where is the next Hassan al-banna?
Brothers and sisters,
It’s time that we stop waiting and stand up. We can’t expect anybody else to fix Islam but ourselves. We are the ones that we have been waiting for.
We are the ones who will change the world....
Lastly, I would like to share ........................
“Seeing life as a chance to give will make us responsible towards others..
Seeing life as a chance to receive will turn us into beggars and we will deny rights to no end.”
I think that’s all from me today
Thank you for listening and I hope all of you will make the best in this programme.
Assalamualaikum.......
