PUBLIC SPEAKING SCRIPT

ECTASY, PILLS, HEROIN, KETUM, GANJA, K PILLS; these are the


drugs that quite a lot of our Muslim teenagers know instead of
the beautiful verse of the Quran.
Illegal racing, unwanted pregnancy, abortion, baby dumping,
rape and the list goes on! These are what we the Malaysian
Muslim teenagers are good at!
Should we be proud of them? Should we smile for such
achievement? No, you dont have to answer that question. Just
take a moment to think about it. Where will we, the Malaysian
Muslim, be in another 20 or even 10 years from now?
(Pause)
Assalamualaikum wbt and Good morning to:

Today, instead of explaining and expounding about these


problem which I think most of us are aware of, I will be talking
about the remedies. It is not about the why, but it is the how
which is essential. How can we stop them, how can we
eliminate these problems and how can we elevate the quality of
life among our Muslim brothers and sisters. In this little space
and time that I have, I would like to propose three ways which
can be implemented as the remedy for the worsening social
problem among the Malaysian Muslim teenagers.

Firstly, the role of parents and family is vital in overcoming the


social problems. Teenagers spend most of their lives with
parents and family. Nobody knows them better than the family.
There is no short cut in developing a great individual; the
journey of development need to start from the womb. The
person that we raised is the reflection of what we have taught
and educate them. Education starts from home. Teach them the
right and wrong even before they can walk! Teach them to give
and to love even after we cant walk! reinforce them through
our action and Insyaallah! With more people doing the same
thing, we can develop a better future for our teenagers and
ultimately strengthening the Ummah.

Teenagers need a clear and transparent explanation why they


have to and do not have to do something. Give them the right
information

without

hiding

any

fact,

so

that

they

will

understand well the reasons. Never lie to them in order to stop


them from doing the wrong things. This action will leave a bad
perspective to the teenagers that adults like to lie and make
them find the answer through other uncontrolled sources.
During these years, adolescents are faced with difficult tasks of
discovering their self-identity, clarifying their sexual roles,
assenting independent, learning to cope with authority and
searching for goals that would give their lives meaning. They
need guidance and assurance. And the best source of guidance
is from the parents, teachers, family and community.

Secondly, the cure for social problem is a positive life-long


education. Education will give them purpose, will help them to
develop their path in life and will inspire them to think
positively in whatever work that they are doing. Without
education,

the

fragile

teenagers

may

be

misled

into

treacherous path by the influence of friends and social Medias.


It must be remembered, education is not just about learning
English, science or mathematic in school. Education is about
developing an individual by providing and equipping them with
essential knowledge which they can use throughout life. If they
can understand the danger of drugs, the menace of illegal
racing, and the humiliation of being a mother of an out of
wedlock child through education, I am quite sure that they
wont even have the heart to try those things.

Finally, the most effective remedies that has been suggested


by Allah in the Quran is by two simple steps which are prayers
and fasting by the individual. While every pillar of Islam serves
to strengthen the soul, the five daily prayers and the fasting
during the holy month of Ramadan are especially beneficial in
disciplining the soul.
The Glorious Quran says;

Recite what is sent of the Book by inspiration to thee,


and establish regular Prayer: for Prayer restrains from
shameful and unjust deeds; and remembrance of Allah
is the greatest (thing in life) without doubt. And Allah
knows the (deeds) that ye do. [Al-Quran 29:45]
Fasting is universally recognized as a means of gaining selfcontrol, and in Islam, also a means of gaining closeness to God.
O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was
prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) selfrestraint, [Al-Quran 2:183]
Prayer and fasting are therefore like the shields of the human
soul, by which it can protect itself from the onslaughts of
modern temptations, and lead a healthy, balanced and
productive life.

To summarize, again I want to remind myself and all of us that


in order for us to tackle these problem among the Muslim
teenagers, we need to get back to the root. We can ask the
police to do raid in the club, roadblock on the road and neverending social campaign but those efforts will be worthless if we
do not strike the root of the problem which is educating the
young mind through home, school and the community.
I think that is all for today, thank you for the time and Im going
to finish this talk with assalamualaikum warahmatullah hi
wabaraktuh
