Sustaining Knowldege Culture Among Muslim Youth

Sustaining Knowledge Culture To Heart Young Generation

Youth is backing to excellence pioneered by previous generation. Race glory will continue if the present generation understand their real role in development as a group which will determine and continue religion's fate, race and country.

But, if we viewed to the situation which hit youth latterly, we will find out a few does not seem feel that their self is important or has interests to countries. So its not wonder if every mass media day reporting news regarding misconduct among youth. Mat rempit, drug abuse, free lifestyle, bad behaviour etc frequently associated with this group misconduct.

The matter something heartbreaking. More distressing, most of them is muslim youth. The issue now, do muslim youth had no personal strength resilience until they no more perceived as property to the countries, instead of becoming unprofitable burden to any party? Do youths having awareness that they are priceless country's property, hence, they need to appreciate themselves by doing beneficial things?

Or who should be blame when our youth stumble before manage to achieve real adulthood age and further contribute to national development? Let us compare youth contribution during the early period emergence of Islam with current youth with our current youth, the difference is so obviously.

When Usamah bin Zaid 18 years old, he leads Islamic militia force for battle with Rom in Bilad al-Sham. We sad, in teenage age and twenties, many teens today fonder biking and make action not only dangerous to themselves in fact other road users.

When Quraisy's race cordoned off Nabi Muhammad SAW's house, Saidina Ali Bin Abi Talib take lesson change bunk with Rasullulah SAW to obscure Islamic enemy and further enable Rasulullah SAW hijrah to Madinah. Start from this hijrah, Islam widely-spread around the world. But, in teenager like those has been through by this Saidina Ali Bin Abi Talib, many muslim youth which became drug addict.

Still we remember to the event which is demonstrate prodemocracy in Medan Tiananmen, China in middle 1989? Students groupcombine with intelectual and activitis hold largely demonstrate claim democracy practices practiced at that countries.But, in our country thousands more young group excited to participate in entertainment concert. In fact, as if become a new fad flow among youth in our country to chanced in various hunt competition new talent in entertainment field and song.

In other words, now youth enthusiasm more focussed to world entertainment. They had no more seriousness to achieved excellence through education means like those are achieved by Imam Shafie, Ibn Sina, Ibn Khaldun and many Islamic intellectual.Imam Shafie at the age of 15 years old, already considered eligible to making fatwa, whereas in crude age as such, our youth still struggle form respective and idle identity with negative entertainment.

Ibn Khaldun is states that early sign of destruction civilization was when his community life is full with entertainment and ornament. History proved that the strength of race, if far away from knowledge culture base, it will just doing damage on earth and someday sure it also will follow or contaminated with other people civilizational value.

Who do not know Hulagu Khan and Timurlan. They is Genghiz Khan's famous birth known as wild and cruel race. They acknowlwdge to be successful in conquest, yet failed in civilization field because has no basis good knowldege culture. Finally, after committing damage on Islamic civilisation, Hulagu and Timurlan embrace Islam.
