First, let’s thank to God Allah, and all prices to him, the Lord of the world, the creator of everything in the universe who has given us the mercies and blessing until we can attend this meeting in this place.
Secondly, peace be upon to our prophet Muhammad, Whe has moved our soul from the bed character to the good one. Who had guided us from the darkness to the lightness in this world as well as in the of judgment.
Thirdly, I’ll never forget to thank Mr Chairman, who has given us an opportunity to deliver a speech in front of the public. Standing in front of you all I would present my peech under the title: “LOOKING FOR SCIENCE”.
You must know that looking for science is the whole Moslem’s obligation.
Even the human kind in the world. It is called by our prophet Muhammad in his hadits
طلبُ الْعِلْمِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ وَمُسْلِمَةٍ
“The exquisition of knowledge is a duty incumbent on every Moslem, male and female.
(Related by Muslim).
Whay our prophet Muhammad obligate us to looking for science? Because science is very important to our life. With sceince we can conquer the creatures in this world, like mountains, sky, moon, sun, fier annimal and the planets.
With science we can be leader of all creatures in this world, We can be the best because of our science. If we don’t have will be like the other creatures. We will be foolish men and we do not know anything. So we will be worse than the creatures As like my said above, that looking for science is very important in this life, because with science we will get fortunate in the world or in the hereafter. Therefore. Who want to get fortunate in this world, they must have science of world, so that who want to get furtunate in hereafter, they must have science of religion and do it in they life everyday like said by our prophet Muhammad said:
مَنْ أَرَادَ الدُّنْيَا فَعَلَيْهِ بِالْعِلْمِ وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الآخِرَةَ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالْعِلْمِ
وَمَنْ أَرَادَهُمَا فَعَلَيْهِ يَا لْعِلْمِ (الحديث)
“Whosoever wants the world he should have knowledge, whosoever wants the nex world hereafter he should have knowledge, too and whosoever wants both, the world and the nex world hereafter, he should have knowledge.”
From this speech of our prophet Muhammad, we can to conclude that how the important of the science by life of man. Because the science, Allah wants to rise man hight rank. Allah saids in holy Qur’an in Mujadalah verses 11:
يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَتٍ (المجادلة (1)
“Allah will exalt those who believe among you and those who have knowledge to hight ranks….” (Al-Mujadalah verses: 11)
Because the knowledge to distinguish a man and annimal. Therefore, the knowledge is very important by man of life. Allah saids in holy Qur’an that the first verses was downed is verses of Al-a’laq and bigined with IQRA’ word the mean is read. This is to indicate that reading is good methode to get science, without reading man difficult to get knowledge.
As human bieng, we have reason and intelligence. With this reason, we can look for science that will make us different from animal. The other creaturs like animal and plant are unable to look for science, because they have no reason. That is whay man is usperior to other creatures. For example, man can conquer all creatures in this world such as huge mountain, giant trees, wild, animal and so on.
We can emagine, suppose if we had knowledge, will be the same as the other creatures even worse than they are. Look at a crezy man, He is worse than animal, isn’t he? Time and plece do not limit looking for science. The holy prophet said:
أَطْلُبُوا الْعِلْمَ مِنَ الْمَهْدِ إِلَى اللُّحْدِ
“Seek knowledge from the cradle until the grave.”
أَطْلُبُوا الْعِلْمَ وَلَوْ بِالصَّيْنِ
“Seek knowledge although in Cina.”.
Islam ordains a long life education. As long as we are still a live, we still have obligation look for knowledge.
