Topic: The roles of
youth for Islamic bright future.
Youth relates with the
time because we are going to have longer time to be adult than to be young. In
Islam, youth is beginning when someone was baligh. Baligh means for a girl she
has first time menstruation and for a boy he has first time dream (wet). The
age of youth is about 11-22 years old. Less than 11 we call them children and more
than 22 we can call them adult. Then what is the matter of youth? There are so
many matters. In the transition age like them, we can say it is the golden age
of life. It happens because they will find such new things which they didn’t experienced
yet and this time is very influencing the future.
Those matters above are
close with their function of life as a human. In Islam, function of human have
created by The Lord are to be a leader on earth (khalifah) and worship Allah
(ibadah/adullah). As well as their pshycal and their psychologycal are growing
up, they should hold those responsibilties to be a leader on earth and worship
Allah everytime. These are new things they didn’t have experienced when they
were childhood. The ability to maximalize it is limited edition.
Here, to be leader and
worshiper do not push them to be a president and lead a country, the first they
should lead themselves and learn to worship Allah by the right way. The second,
they should lead their family, friends and people near them to get closer to
Allah. The way they take care of and they told, is also called worship. Then
the last, they lead people around the world by their knowledge, skill and
capability. If they are EED students, mainly in UIN SUSKA Riau, it means a lot.
They can teach people to be better and aware not only about the world but the
day after die, they can write about Islamic science in Al-Quran, history,
wisdom, and etc. Then share it on the mass media or share in the organization
or community. The ideas will really prove the future, especially for Islamic
bright future.
