Drug
Assalamualaikum
Wr. Wb
Honorable ones the
juries, the participant of English speech contest, and all audiences.
Before I begin to
give a speech, I would like to invite you to thank to Allah the Almighty, Who
has given us Mercy and Blessing, so we can meet together in this place. And
let’s deliver sholawat and salam to our prophet Muhammad SAW, Who
has brought us from the darkness to the brightness, so we are always in the
right path.
Ladies and gentlemen
Drug? What is that? I
am sure you all already know, and may be better than me about what drug is and
what the advantages and disadvantages are. Drugs actually are medicine for
anesthetize patients in surgery. But that perception was misapplied by some
people.
Drugs have been
misapplied by some people for a long time. Some people which use drugs beyond
the medical treatment consider that drugs can make them feel better when they
facing some problems , make them feel easy to find new brilliant ideas or just
for a pleasure.
I am sure you will
never forget the accident in Tugu Tani, Jakarta, when a drugs user, Apriliani,
drove her car with high speed and hit the pedestrians in a Tugu Tani bus stop.
The recent tragedy in Pondok Indah where a man with the influence of drugs
drove his car and hit many people on the road is another example. It obviously
proofs that in the effect of drugs, hallucination of the drugs user is bigger
than other normal people. They cannot distinguish between the real world and
the hallucination world and consider all things in around them are like a dream
and not real.
The effect of drugs
are not only dangerous for drugs user themselves but also people surrounding.
For the users, drugs are so risky because they may lead to overdoses, HIV/AIDS
and brain or mental damage. Drugs are also dangerous for the people surrounding
as it has already mentioned above. The dangers of consuming drugs open our eyes
that the usage of drugs beyond the medical treatments is profitless. Because
drugs just lead us in the destruction for the users themselves and for other
people surrounding.
Dear ladies and
gentlemen
But it is so sad, if
we hear many of our young generations consume the drugs such as Heroin, cokain,
Koplo, dextron, extacy, or marijuana . They merely consume drugs to get drunk,
enjoyment, and temporal satisfaction without consider the risks.
As moslems we have
the guidance from the holy qur’an that drinking alcoholic drink is forbiden,
and it is bad action, and despicable deed, as Allah Said in the holy qur'an :
"ya ayyuhalladzina amanu innamal khomru walmaysir wal anshob wal azlam
rijsummin amalisyton fajtanibuhu laalakum tuflihun." It means :
"oh ye the believers actually alcoholic drink, gambling, and draw destiny
is despicable from the evil’s action so avoid them, may be you will be the
pleasure people.(almaidah verse : 90)"
Because the drugs or
the alcoholic drink is so dangerous for our health, for our body, for our
future. So we must keep a way from it. we must avoid it. Don’t try to consume
it, don’t try to sell or buy it. Those are what I can deliver to you at this
moment, thank a lot for your attention and I ask forgiveness for my mistakes, and
the last I say:
WasalamualaikumWr. Wb.
