obstacles in this good occasion.
May salawat and salam be with our prophet Muhammad peace be upon him,
who has guided us from the darkness to lightness in this world as well as in
the next world.
I will never forget to thank juries who has given me opportunity to deliver my
speech in front of you all entitled.
OBIDIENCE TO OUR PARENTS
My brothers and sisters.
It sounds very interesting to talk about our parents. Why do I say so? Why?
Because nowadays there are many children who can not respect their
parents. They like neglecting their advice, ignoring what their parents said,
even speaking with their parents impolitely.
Here in this good time, I would like to remind you all that respect to our
parents
is
one
of
our
obligation as muslim.
From Abdullah bin Masud R.A said: What work are liked by Allah? He saids
Praying on time. I said: then wich what? He said: Obedience to parent. I
said: then wich what? Struggling in a way of Allah (BukhariMuslim)
According to this hadits, we are as Muslim, we have to do three working that
god most like them, they are: Praying on time, obedience to parent, and

struggling

in

way

of

Allah.

As human being created by Allah, we must worship Allah only by performing

the
praying
on
time and doing our obligation completely.
Besides performing the praying on time, we must obey our parent because
our
prophet
Muhammad SAW said:

The satisfaction of Allah is in parent satisfaction. And Allahs anger is in
parents anger
According to his hadist, we must obey our parent if they command us to do
something, because they have been educating us since when we were the
baby until we grow up.
And remember my brothers and sisters!
Our mother is the only one who made us live in this world and our father is a
person who works hard for us to earn some money to pay our school fee and
give us all we need and so on.
Here, in this good time I would like to remind you all with this verse of
Quran.
Allaah Said(what means): "And your Lord has decreed that you not worship
except Him, and towards your parents you should treat them with good
treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, do
not say ahhh toward them. And do not repel them but speak to them a
noble word. And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say: 'My
Lord! Have mercy upon them as they educated me [when I was] a
baby" [Quran 17:23-24]
The recognition and respect of parents is mentioned in the Quran eleven
times; in every instance, Allaah reminds children to recognize and to
appreciate the love and care that they have received from their parents. One
such example is when Allaah says what means: "And We have enjoined upon
man goodness to parents" [Quran 29:8 & 46:15]
Islam teaches us that of the most beloved deeds to Allaah, having respect for
one's parents is second only to that of prayer and is greater than that of
Jihaad (fighting in His cause). In this respect, Abu 'Abdur-Rahmaan 'Abdullaah
Ibn Masood
narrated the following: "I asked the Prophet
: 'Which
deed is the most beloved to Allaah?' He

replied: "Prayers performed on

time." I then asked: 'Which one is next?' He replied: "Goodness to parents." I

then asked: 'Which is next?' He replied: "Jihaad in the path of Allaah.""

In Islam, respect to our parents is so great that the child and his wealth are
considered to be the property of the parents: `Aaishah
narrated that a
man came to the Prophet

in order to resolve a dispute that he had with

his father regarding a loan he had given him. The Prophet

said to the

man: "You and your wealth are to (i.e., the property of) your father."
We hope and pray that all of us will respect our parents while they are alive
and after their death.
Before I stop my speech, I would like to give you some tips how to respect
our parents.
First, Performing daily Du'aa' (supplication) for them.
As children we should not forget to pray for our parents wherever and
whenever we are in.
Let me sing a song for you.

Second , Giving charity on their behalf.

at last but not least. We must study hard to be the best student. If we can
be the best students our parents will be very happy.
Let us pray to Allaah that we do our best to respect our parents, honour
them, be kind to them, assist them, and please them so that we may attain
the love of Allaah.
O Allaah! Accept our humble prayers and make us obedient slaves to You.
O Allaah! Help us to be respectful children to our parents. Aameen.
I think thats all. Thank you for your attention.
Wassalamualaikum Wr. Wb.
Special song for our parents (ditaruh di sela-sela yang strategis)
Alhamdulillah, o thank you Alllah
Mommy is home Alhamdulillah
Daddy is home Alhamdulillah
Thank you Allah for your blessings on me.
Wassalamu'alaikum Wr.Wb.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH SUBJECT IN EDUCATION FOR OUR

COUNTRY
Assalamualaikum warahmatullaahi wabarakaatuh
Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahiim
Honorable the committees
The honorable juries
Dear my friends participating this speech contest
My lovely brothers and sisters
First of all, lets thank Allah the almighty for he has been giving us mercy and blessing
until we can attend this meeting without any obstacles in this happy place and time.
Secondly, may shalawat and salam be with our holy prophet Muhammad Saw who has
guided us from the darkness to the lightness in this world as well as in the next world. Because
only because of his effort we can enjoy the education at this time.
And Ill never forget to thank Mr. Chairman who has given me opportunity to deliver my
speech in front of this public.
Standing in front of you all, I would like to present my speech under the title THE
IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH SUBJECT IN EDUCATION FOR OUR COUNTRY
Ladies and gentlemen
Indonesia, as we know is a country that has been developing from bad history. History
gives a very big effect in the globalization. That is in the advancement of our country. Being
sacrifice of the colony makes technology and economy development in Indonesia still at the
backward.
Education is one of many important things to help fastening economy and technology
development in our country. Science is the key of the advancement of all countries all the world.
Because before technology appeared, knowledge was the first thing thats appearing a lot of
ideas, until the technology was created. And along with the development of science, technology
even continuously develops until we can find the technology that we use at this time.
Science is the key of the advancement of a country. Then a question is,HOW TO GET
KNOWLEDGE?. The answer is only by Education. Education is a means of getting knowledge.

Because no matter how great you are, you will not be able to get knowledge without
EDUCATION!
If we talk about education, we will also realize about how important the language is in
study and learning process. Without mastering language, its impossible for us to do the process
of education well. The ability to state opinion, to understand the words and to respond the others
opinion are some examples of understanding language. All of them are included as study and
learning process in education.
So is learning foreign language important for the sake of the advancement of education in
Indonesia?
Absolutely. Mastering foreign language is very important for the quality of education in
Indonesia, especially English. Because English is an International language which is learned and
used in almost all of the countries in the world. Because of that, there would be many problems
appear when a country doesnt include English as one of the lessons in study and learning
process. Thats why English is learned from Elementary School up to University.
The education in Indonesia or the other countries in the world is also much related to the
importance of the book. If we treat the education like a gun, then the book would be the missile.
Where a gun wouldnt be useful without the missile, and on the contrary, the missile wouldnt
also be useful without the gun. Thats what the education and the book look like.
Ladies and gentlemen
There are so many books written in English that have not been translated into Indonesian.
These are the books from the scientists who wrote their expert and invention only in English. If
we use only the Indonesian book in education process, we will lack of knowledge because
everything that we get is only from Indonesian book. Means that we must learn English to
maximize our knowledge for the sake of the development of our education.
If only English was not learned in Indonesia, its impossible that Indonesian people could
speak English. As a consequence, our country would have decrease and would be the matter of
other countries discussion. In fact, its indeed that English must be said important. For example
if we work in a hotel, a bank, a harbor, an airplane and the others, we need to master English to
communicate with the guests. Further more, if our president and his translator couldnt speak
English, our Country wouldnt ever join the meeting among the countries the entire world,
because the language that they use is English.

Seeing such bad examples, thinking about the cause, it must be because of education. In
the other words, shortly, the education in Indonesia and all countries over the world will not be
called has good quality if there is no English subject on the lesson list. Once again, its because
of English is an International language which is very important for the development of our
country.
Remembering how important English is, there have been many ways that have been made
to make us able to learn it faster, whether its formal like a school or non formal like course or
autodidact. Even there are so many education places that make something like games to make
students interested and understand English faster. Some competitions are often also held for the
sake of increasing the ability of students in English, like English debate, English speech, etc. All
of these ways are only for the quality of the education of our country.
Ladies and gentlemen
Before ending this speech, let me conclude the essential points of my speech:
1. Knowledge is the key of the development of a country
2. Without education we wouldnt get knowledge
3. The education in Indonesia wouldnt be said has a good quality without English on the
schedule.
Finally I hope all of my explanations have made us understand that English as an
International language is very important for the development of our education.
Thank you very much for your attention, see you next time and may Allah the almighty
bless us eternally, amiin.
Knowledge without application is nothing, and willing without action is nothing.
