1. The Celebration of Prophet Muhammad SAW Maulid
Assalamu’alaikum wr.wb
There are words worthy saying except to extend all the praise to Allah Swt due to all of his
blessing, mercy, and guidance upon all of us so that we can still take the benefit from His
blessing, namely the good health and oxygen we breathe in without any need to cost
anything.
Sholawat and salam may everlastingly be upon our adoration, Great Prophet Muhammad
SAW who had guided and
led us from darkness into the shining bright path.
To all the honorable ladies, gentlemen, and audience,
On the 12th Rabiul Awal 1431 H coincided on 26th February 2010, all of the Muslims are
celebrating Maulid (the birth) of Prophet Muhammad SAW, that’s nothing but the heritage of
Islamic civilizations which has been carried out from generation to generation.
In historical record, Maulid was started since the Caliph era of Fatimiyah under the rule of
the descendant of Fatimah Az-Zahrah, Daughter of Muhammad.
This celebration was carried out under the suggestion of Warlord Shalahuddin Al-Ayyubi
(1137 – 1193 AC), towards the caliphates in order to celebrate the day of Muhammad’s birth.
It’s all carried out in order to regain the spirits of fight of Muslims under the struggle in order
to free Mosque Al-Aqsha in Palestine from the holds of Christians, and then create massive
effects, namely spirits of Jihad for Muslims which were impassioned at that time.
Substantially, the celebration of Maulid of Prophet is as a form of effort to know about the
example of Muhammad as the disseminator of Islamic teachings. Recorded throughout the
history of life, Prophet Muhammad is an amazing and great leader in giving esteemed
examples for his followers.
In the Islamic socio-anthropological and historical order, Muhammad could be seen and
understood in two different social dimensions that complement in each other.
Firstly, in the theological-religious perspective, Muhammad was seen and understood as a
figure of prophet as well as the last Messenger of God in the Islamic order of concept. This
positions Muhammad as a figure of holy man who became a representative of God in the
world who had duties to bring, deliver, and implement all the forms of “holy” massages of
God to mankind universally.
Secondly, in the social-political perspective, Muhammad was seen and understood as an
excellent figure of politician. Muhammad’s individual figure which was identical to wise,

2. tolerant, humanist, and indiscriminative and hegemonic leader made him lead Arabian social
society order at that time in order to reach for prosperous and peaceful social society order.
It has become general news that we are in need of a nation leader figure that is able to
reinstruct an image of leadership and social society which are ideal, tolerant, humanist, and
indiscriminative just like Prophet Muhammad did for the mankind.
The contextuality of Maulid celebration isn’t only understood through the Islamic
perspectives, but also it needs to be understood from other perspectives that involve all the
issues, such as politics, cultures, economics, or religions.
To all the dearest ladies, gentlemen, and audience,
Prophet Muhammad was born into the world. His coming brought duties. His leaving left
traces. His coming brought duties which were finished in 23 years. His coming to the world is
to mend the manners (sholihah akhlak) so that all of his followers will turn into well-
mannered people (makarimal akhlak)
Well-mannered to whom?
Well-mannered to Allah who created us
Well-mannered to Allah’s Messenger
Well-mannered to each belief we embrace
Well-mannered to own selves
Well-mannered to parents
Well-mannered to people
Well-mannered to our mother land
Well-mannered to the nation
Well-mannered to Allah
For example, before eating we must pray by saying “bismillahirahmanirahim” (In the name
of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Benevolent). It is a well-mannered deed to Allah.
Well-mannered to Rasulullah (Allah’s Messenger)
Rasul is a great gateway of belief. Therefore, we are supposed to always be well-mannered to
Rasulullah.
Well-mannered to each belief we embrace
Every belief teaches the holiness. Therefore, we need to be well-mannered in having religion.
In Al Quran we are forbidden to destroy synagogues, churches, or mosques, and the places
where the names of Allah are mentioned. For that reason, if there is a person who destroys a
church in the name of religion, it is totally a lie. It is indeed in the name of his/her lust.

3. Well-mannered to own self
Like how we are ordered to cover our aurat (a part of body which may not be visible) is a
deed to be well-mannered to own self. Seven layers of sky and seven layers of earth which
were created by Allah are like coconut husks, while the diamonds are the humans. Therefore,
be well-mannered to own selves!
Well-mannered to parents
Do not make ourselves become insubordinate children like a story of a mother from a village
who succeeded to make her son become success person. But someday when his mother came
to see him, she was not honored and driven away by his son. The loatheness of the mother
caused by her son’s deeds finally made her son and all of his family punished by Allah’s
wrath by the annihilation of all of his places and families. The son was supposed to be proud
of his mother who had succeed to make him a success person compared to other parents who
might not be able to do the same thing as his mother did.
Well-mannered to other people
In life, we cannot stand outside of society. Therefore, we must be well-mannered to them.
Well-mannered to motherland
A hadith that tells about loving the motherland is a part of faith which is a well-mannered
deed to mother land. Our predecessors made the Garuda Pancasila as a symbol of our nation
that symbolizes a great soul and spirit. However, what is happening now is that the souls of
Indonesian people are having a chronic sickness since the love of homeland is fading away
over time.
And then, to whom are we taught to be well-mannered? We are taught to be well-mannered
to the orphanages, needy people, and those people who are troubled by the disasters.
I wish my speech could bring all the good things for each of us. I say my apology for the
mistakes on my words.
Wassalamu’alaikum.
Terjemahan Pidato Bahasa Inggris Maulid Nabi
Peringatan Maulid Nabi Muhammad Saw
Assalamu Alaikum wr.Wb
Tiada kata yang pantas untuk diucapkan kecuali memanjatkan puji syukur kehadirat Allah
SWT yang telah melimpahkan segala rohmat, taufiq, dan hidayahnya kepada kita sekalian.
Sehingga kita masih dapat menikmati anugrah terindahnya berupa kesehatan serta oksigen
yang kita hirup tanpa harus membayar sepeserpun.

4. Solawat serta salam mudah-mudahan tetap tercurahkan kepada junjungan Nabi besar kita
Muhammad SAW yang telah menunjukkan kita dari jalan yang gelap gulita menuju jalan
yang terang benderang.
Bapak-bapak, Ibu-ibu, para hadirin yang saya hormati.
Tanggal 12 Rabiul Awal 1431 H, bertepatan pada 26 Februari 2010 seluruh kaum muslim
merayakan maulid Nabi Muhammad SAW, tidak lain merupakan warisan peradaban Islam
yang dilakukan secara turun temurun.
Dalam catatan historis, Maulid dimulai sejak zaman kekhalifahan Fatimiyah di bawah
pimpinan keturunan dari Fatimah az-Zahrah, putri Muhammad. Perayaan ini
dilaksanakan atas usulan panglima perang, Shalahuddin al-Ayyubi (1137M-1193 M), kepada
khalifah agar mengadakan peringatan hari kelahiran Muhammad.
Tujuannya adalah untuk mengembalikan semangat juang kaum muslimin dalam perjuangan
membebaskan Masjid al-Aqsha di Palestina dari cengkraman kaum Salibis. Yang kemudian,
menghasilkan efek besar berupa semangat jihad umat Islam menggelora pada saat itu.
Secara subtansial, perayaan Maulid Nabi adalah sebagai bentuk upaya untuk mengenal akan
keteladanan Muhammad sebagai pembawa ajaran agama Islam. Tercatat dalam sepanjang
sejarah kehidupan, bahwa nabi Muhammad adalah pemimipn besar yang sangat luar biasa
dalam memberikan teladan agung bagi umatnya.
Dalam tatanan sejarah sosio antropologis Islam, Muhammad dapat dilihat dan dipahami
dalam dua dimensi sosial yang berbeda dan saling melengkapi.
Pertama, dalam perspektif teologis-religius, Muhammad dilihat dan dipahami sebagai sosok
nabi sekaligus rasul terakhir dalam tatanan konsep keislaman. Hal ini memposisikan
Muhammad sebagai sosok manusia sakral yang merupakan wakil Tuhan di dunia yang
bertugas membawa, menyampaikan, serta mengaplikasikan segala bentuk pesan “suci” Tuhan
kepada umat manusia secara universal.
Kedua, dalam perspektif sosial-politik, Muhammad dilihat dan dipahami sebagai sosok
politikus andal. Sosok individu Muhammad yang identik dengan sosok pemimpin yang adil,
egaliter, toleran, humanis, serta non-diskriminatif dan hegemonik, yang kemudian mampu
membawa tatanan masyarakat sosial Arab kala itu menuju suatu tatanan masyarakat sosial
yang sejahtera dan tentram.
Karena bukan menjadi rahasia lagi bila kita sedang membutuhkan sosok pemimpin bangsa
yang mampu merekonstruksikan suatu citra kepemimpinan dan masyarakat sosial yang ideal,
egaliter, toleran, humanis dan nondiskriminatif, sebagaimana dilakukan Muhammad untuk
seluruh umat manusia.

5. Kontekstualisasi peringatan Maulid tidak lagi dipahami dari perspektif keislaman saja,
melainkan harus dipahami dari berbagai perspektif yang menyangkut segala persoalan. Misal,
politik, budaya, ekonomi, maupun agama.
Bapak-bapak, Ibu-ibu, para hadirin yang saya cintai. Nabi Muhammad dilahirkan ke dunia.
Datangnya membawa tugas. Perginya meninggalkan bekas.
Datangnya membawa tugas yang diselesaikan dalam 23 tahun.
Datangnya ke dunia diperintah untuk memperbaiki budi pekerti (sholihah Akhlak)
supaya ummat ini menjadi umat yang sopan santun (makarimal akhlak)
Sopan terhadap siapa?
Sopan terhadap Alloh yang telah menciptakan kita
Sopan terhadap Rosululloh
Sopan terhadap agama yang kita peluk masing-masing
Sopan terhadap diri sendiri Sopan terhadap orangtua Sopan terhadap masyarakat Sopan
terhadap ibu pertiwi Sopan terhadap negara.
Sopan terhadap Alloh.
Contohnya bagaimana kita sebelum makan berdoa dulu bismillahirrohmanirrohim. Dengan
nama Alloh Yang Maha Pengasih lagi Maha Pemurah adalah bentuk kesopanan kita kepada
Alloh.
Sopan terhadap Rosululloh,
Rosul merupakan pintu gerbang agung agama. Maka sudah sepantasnya kita sopan kepada
Rosululloh
Sopan terhadap agama yang kita peluk masing-masing.
Semua agama mengajarkan kesucian. Karena itu kita harus sopan dalam beragama.
Dalam Al Quran kita dilarang untuk merusak sinagog, gereja, masjid-masjid tempat nama
Alloh disebut. Maka kalau ada orang yang sampai merusak gereja atas nama agama, itu
adalah kebohongan. Itu adalah atas nama hawa nafsu mereka sendiri.
Sopan kepada diri sendiri
Bagaimana kita diperintah untuk menutup aurat adalah bentuk kesopanan pada diri sendiri
dan sebaik-baik pakaian adalah pakaian takwa. Tujuh lapis langit dan tujuh lapis bumi yang
diciptakan Alloh ini ibarat sepet (kulit sabut kelapa-red.), sedangkan berliannya adalah
manusia, maka sopanlah kepada diri sendiri.
Sopan kepada orang tua
Jangan sampai kita durhaka seperti kisah bagaimana seorang dari desa yang berhasil
menyekolahkan anaknya sampai menjadi sarjana dan orang yang sukses. Tapi ketika orang

6. tuanya datang tidak dihormati malah diusir. Ketidak-relaan orang tua menyebabkan anak itu
dan keluarganya diazab Alloh dengan dihancurkan rumah dan keluarganya. Padahal
seharusnya si anak bangga dengan orang tuanya yang tinggal di desa tersebut karena telah
berhasil mendidik anaknya menjadi orang yang sukses dibandingkan dengan orang kota yang
belum tentu berhasil mendidik anaknya menjadi orang yang sukses.
Sopan kepada masyarakat
Dalam kehidupan ini kita tidak bisa keluar dari masyarakat, maka kita harus sopan kepada
masyarakat.
Sopan kepada ibu pertiwi
Hadis Cinta tanah air bagian dari iman adalah bentuk kesopanan kepada ibu pertiwi.
Pendahulu kita memberikan lambang negara berbentuk Garuda Pancasila melambangkan
jiwa yang besar. Namun yang terjadi sekarang jiwa bangsa Indonesia sedang sakit kronis
dengan semakin berkurangnya rasa Cinta Tanah Air
Sedangkan pada siapa kita diajar untuk santun? Kita diajar santun kepada anak-anak yatim
Kita diajar santun kepada para fakir miskin Kita diajar santun kepada orang-orang yang
teraniaya Kita diajar santun kepada orang-orang yang terkena bencana.
Semoga uraian ini bermanfaat. Mohon maaf jika ada kata-kata yang kurang berkenan.
Assalamu alaikum wr. wb.
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Bismilahirrahmanirrahim, alhadulillahirabbil 'aalamin, let us give thanks to Allah SWT, the
grace, Taufik and blessing to us all, so up until now we are still given the opportunity to
commemorate the "Birth of the Prophet" our master Muhammad.
The second, greetings and prayers we say to our Prophet Muhammad, may he is always
placed by God on his side as the people who obtained the highest degree in the afterlife.
Amen!
Ladies and noble, as Muslims we must uphold our religious values, ie values that exist in the
rules of the Qur'an and hadith. On this blessed night, we tried to explore the values of Islam
further, especially with regard to the history of the birth of our Prophet Muhammad SAW.

7. I believe that the birth of Muhammad in this world is a clue for us to further increase our
devotion to God Almighty. For it is fitting if at night, we examine further the Prophet
Muhammad as the last day, which also became a role model in every practice the instructions
in this life up in the afterlife.
On behalf of the Chairman of the Committee, once again we delivered a welcome to the
audience, while listening to religious lectures congratulations on the Birth of the Prophet
Muhammad, which God willing will be delivered by the honorable Al Ustad Mr Kyai ... Our
thanks also to his esteemed Mr. H. Kyai ... are pleased to present this evening to give us all
the spiritual spray.
Akhirul kalam, wabillahi taufiq wal hidayah.

Assalamualaikum Wr.Wb
You’re Excellencies Chairman
Dear the Judgment
My Beloved Brother and Sisters
In the name of Allah, the beneficent and the merciful. All praise be to Allah, the lord of the
world, the master of the day after, and the creator of everything in this universe. He has no
partner.
Peace and salutations be upon the messenger, Muhammad SAW and his household, and his
companions, and his faith full followers who strive in Islam. And I thank to protocol who has
given me a time to speak today, entitled “THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD IS A TRUE
ROLE MODEL”.
My beloved brothers and sisters
Now we should be happy. Just imagine, suppose this event was held just on the day of the
birth of our prophet, the incomparable happiness will come over you and me and all of
Muslims. And so essentially, this event is a tribute to his birth, the great prophet, the last
prophet, and the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad SAW.
A noble servant had been sent by Allah, he was born in the elephant year. He became the

8. light in the midst of darkness. He leads us from darkness into the light of life, enhance human
morality and straighten any irregularities. My beloved brothers and sisters. We know that the
prophet is a role model, but most of us would prefer to replace him with another position. In
fact, who we look up now, mostly, they have strayed from the moral teaching of the prophet.
This shows that we are not aware; the prophet is a true role model. Now we already know,
and will we still be running in the unconscious? Do you still want to get lost? Don't you
interested in the owner of the great moral figure? Are we going to forget our prophet,
Muhammad?
My beloved brothers and sisters. Prophet Muhammad was born in Mecca. His mother doesn’t
feel any pain when she gave birth. God has instilled the noble qualities or characteristics of
prophet hood. The properties of this prophecy are Sidik, Amanah, Tabligh, Fatonah.
My beloved brothers and sisters
Prophet Muhammad never lied. What he said was a very precious pearl. Imagine, that we are
alive, and Prophet Muhammad is in our midst now, then we should not hesitate to entrust
something to him. He always runs the mandate. Not a single verse was unturned to be
delivering to his people, and he is really intelligent.
My beloved brothers and sisters
Now we already know, and will we still be running in the unconscious? Do you still want to
get lost? Don't you interested in him? Are we going to forget our prophet, Muhammad?
My beloved brothers and sisters
I think it’s complete enough for me up to this point. The wrong utterance is caused by
limitation of my ability and the right one is for Allah.
May Allah forgive us for our short comings. May Allah reward us for the best of what we
have done. At last I say you…
Wassalamualaikum Wr.Wb
Bismillahirrahmaanirrahiiem
Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi wa Barakaatuh
Honourable teachers,
Honourable juries,

9. Honourable committee,
And all my sisters and brothers whom I love,
Alhamdulillahirabbil ‘aalamiin……( till end)
Praise be to Allah, the Creator of everything in this universe, lord of the lord, the owner of all
mercies that has given them to all mankind without discrimination, believer or unbeliever.
Prayers and regards we should send them to our prophet Muhammad SAW, the simpleman
who change the darkness to the clean and ideal life, and the patient man that could spread
Islamic law in Arabian and the whole world after his death.
Before stepping to my main speech, I thank the chairman/woman who has given me the
chance to deliver my speech.
My brothers in one faith,
Imperceptibly, time goes quickly. we have entered the month wrote in this month which had
been born a great leader of humanity. leader of the prophets of God who became the light on
all light, pinned on him by the title Habibullah is a lover of God, namely Sayyidina wa
Maulana Muhammad. Our prophet was born from among the Quraysh with his mother
Aminah bint Wahab and his father Abdullah bin Abdul Muthallib. when he was born he had
become orphans because when he was still in the womb his father had left him forever.
Prophet Muhammad grew up as prepossessing figure and manners. his height character
makes him was given the title of Al Amien is a trustworthy person. This was evident when
several tribes will fight the Black Stone laying of stone into ka’ba. they felt that they were the
appropriate tribe to put the jewels back into place, then came the Al Amien, then he spread
his turban and placed it above ground and over his turban. Then the Prophet Muhammad
called for the leaders to hold each end of the turban. then lifted up the stone and placed into
position. and ultimately disputes died down and turned into satisfaction and joy that they feel
have contributed to the laying of the stone. so how noble morality of our Prophet
Muhammad. because the height of his morality, Allah perpetuated in the Qur’an :
ٍ‫يم‬ِ‫ظ‬َ‫ع‬ ٍ‫ق‬ُ‫ل‬ُ‫خ‬ ‫لى‬َ‫ع‬َ‫ل‬ َ‫ك‬َّ‫ن‬ِ‫إ‬ َ‫و‬

10. “And thou truly great virtuous character.” (al-qalam : 4)
All audiences whom I love,
Our duty as the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad was always emulate his morality, respect
the older, love the younger, love one another, the rich embraces the poor, the strong protects
the weak. All felt in equality. There is no difference except the faith and piety. A poem states
”Muhammadun basyarun laeisa kal basyar, yaqutatun hajarun wa laeisa kal hajar ” which
means that Prophet Muhammad was human but not human beings as well as hyacinth, he is a
rock but not a regular rock.
Prophet Muhammad never hated any of his enemy. He was always forgiving without being
asked though. even if he constantly abused by his enemies, he did not have any hatred, he just
prayed for his enemies in the guidance given by God Almighty. he envied the glory of the
previous Messengers of Allah. the Messenger of Allah wanted him to become one of the
Ummah of Prophet Muhammad SAW. because the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad has
the virtue that is not given to the previous ummah. one of them is that later when the Day of
Resurrection Allah will give the key to the door of heaven Ummah of the Prophet
Muhammad, and the Ummah of the Prophet was Muhammamd is the first time in
paradise. really lucky we can be one of the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad ‘alaihi was
salam shalatullah.
As a proof of love for Allah and His Messenger, Prophet Muhammad, let us together and we
follow the Sunnah of the Prophet’s Practice, let us also share our oral habit to read the peace
to the Prophet Muhammad, because the Messenger said: “Anyone who reads peace to me one
time that God would eliminate evil thereof 10, 10-degree thereof increased, and gave 10
good.”
And hopefully we include biting fence sitting with the Messenger of God in heaven one day
later, amien.
My brothers in one faith,
I suppose that I must stop my speech. Please, pardon me if you got some mistakes from my
speech.
