Dear brothers and sisters

First of all, let’s pray and thank unto our God Allah SWT who has been giving us mercies and blessings, so we can attend and gather in this nice meeting without any troubles and obstacles.

Secondly, may shalawat and salam always be given to our prophet, Muhammad SAW who has guided us from the darkness to the brightness namely Islam religion.

Thirdly, I don’t forget to say thank you very much to Miss Ridi as the MC who has given me time to speak in front of you all.

Dear brothers and sisters.

Standing in front of you all, I would like to deliver my speech about THE EARTH AND OUR ENVIRONMENT.

To begin my speech in this occasion, I am going to recite one ayat from the Holy Al Qur’an:

واذ قال ربك للملىئكة انى جاعل فى الارض خليفة

It means: And [mention, Hi Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make khalifah upon the earth." Al Baqarah: 30

Allah SWT has created us human being as khalifah, as leader, as successive authority. As khalifah, we have been given all facilities which we need.

But of course with obligation to keep and save it, because all of our actions in this world, we must response it in front of our God.

Our prophet Muhammad SAW said:

كلكم راع وكلكم مسئول عن رعيته

It means: Each of you all is a leader. And he will be asked about his responsibility.

Dear brothers and sisters.

One of facilities which Allah SWT has given and we must keep and save it is our environment.

It is realized or not, our life in this world depends on our environment:

-       We drink water from our environment,

-       We breath air from our environment, and

-       We eat foods which are planted from our environment.

So, our environment has a great influence in our life. Our environment gives us life. And we can say “our environment is our life”.

Now let's close our eyes and try to remember!

-       Few years ago, there were many green trees around us but now those green trees are gone and replaced by grey buildings.  

-       Few years ago, we could fill our lung with fresh air of oxygen but now that refreshing oxygen was gone and replaced by Carbon Monoxide.

-       Few years ago, we still could look at our reflections on the river because of the clear water but now those reflections was gone and replaced with pale face of trash.

Of course we still remember one ayat from the Holy Al Qur’an:

ظهر الفساد فى البر والبحر بما كسبت ايدى الناس

It means: Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned. Ar Rum: 41

Dear brothers and sisters.

Then, what must we do?

And what will we do to save our environment from destruction?

Just small action, such as:

-       Planting some trees,

-       Putting trash in the right place,

-       Saving electricity,

-       And reducing the usage of motor vehicle.

The future condition of our environment depends on us.

Remember, our environment is our life.

Treat it well and it will treat us well.

Save it well and it will save us well.

Dear brothers and sisters.

Now before I close my speech, I give back the time to the MC.

…………..

I am only one of seven speakers. So if you found many mistakes from my speech, I apologize and my friends after me will correct and complete it, insyaAllah.

And that’s all my speech. I do hope it’s useful for us. Thanks for your attention, and the last I say...

Wasalamualaikum Wr. Wb.
