Reconstruction: look at the setting and the idea of Youth Pledge '28.
Exactly on October 28, 2016 flag ceremony to commemorate the moment of Youth Pledge 88 years ago was held in every corner of the country. The goal is no other so that the generation of youth always fill the independence with the spirit of October 28, 1928.
When the youth from all over Indonesia focuses on building Katholieke Jongenlingen Bond (GOC), Waterlooplein (now Lapangan Banteng) Batavia (Jakarta) on Saturday October 12, 1928, Building Oost-Java Bioscoop on October 28, 1928, and the building Indonesische Clubgebouw in Jalan Kramat Raya 106 on 29 October 1928. Delegates from the regions compiled within the Student Association of Indonesian Students (PPPI) consisting of students from all over Indonesia. The congress was also attended by representatives of youth organizations namely Jong Java, Jong Batak, Jong Celebes, Jong Sumatranen Bond, Jong Islamieten Bond, Jong Ambon, etc. as well as observers from youth tiong hoa like Kwee Thiam Hong, John Lauw Tjoan Hok, Oey Kay Siang and Tjoi Djien Kwie. held a youth congress for the first time in Indonesia. It seems that this Youth Pledge becomes an affirmation that the people of Indonesia are not lost despite the physical colonization, rights, heart and mind. The younger generation is again taking on its strategic role.
They are the young men who became the children of his day and became the winner of all oppression. They succeeded in interpreting themselves as children of the nation, and not to glorify the colonialists. How beautiful is Pramoedya's expression in the Son of All His People follows,
"... do not glorify Europe as a whole, wherever there is noble and evil ... you have forgotten it, son, the colonial is always the devil. Nothing colonial ever takes into account the interests of your nation. "
Every young man in that era must have dreamed of the birth of a new age in which his people were freed from the shackles of colonialism that had begun since the fall of Majapahit. A chapter in which the currents reversed, an epic after the triumph of Majapahit. At the moment entirely changed, the power in the sea into force on land is constricted in the interior, going deeper and deeper slump glory, glory turned defeat, intellectual brilliance into imbecility daalam reasoning, unity turned into discord spay all activities. Still according to Pram glory of the archipelago so beautifully depicted in the Gajah Mada period, following
"During Jaya Gajah Mada, the current moves from south to north; everything: ships, human, deeds and ideals and citranya- move from the archipelago in the South to 'Wind Up' in the North, because the archipelago is not only ground forces but also the largest marine kingdom among civilized nations in advance earth..."
It is very clear that the Youth Pledge is a powerful formulation to assert itself that the Indonesian nation has children from its own womb that freedom of thought and will. Merdeka which means entitled in the name of life to build the nation, achievement, sovereign, independent, independent, and ahirnya will be realized Baldatun Thayyibatun wa Rabbun Ghafur, the Ideal nation and God give Justice.
Reflection: see, interpret and follow in the footsteps of Youth's goodness '28.
Youth '28 is the best youth owned by Indonesia. Where they as a child of his nation dare to take the role and the right to defend and fight for the independence of Mother Earth who has "breastfed". Independent thinking is the beginning of the struggle in every battle, because the thinking will give birth to an idea, a wide range of strategic, tactical concepts wake, writings, works, poetry, novels, discourse and others, all of which will give birth to the movement.
For example is Ibn Ruwahah who made his poems as slogans in the battle against the forces of the king of Hercules (Roman),
My self ...
If you do not draw a sword in the fight field
One day, you will still fall
Even if you just sleep on the bed
Similarly, with the poem Chairil Anwar, Semangat, follows:
Let the bullet penetrate my skin
I'm still inflamed crashing
Wounds and I can run
The Youth Pledge Warning is a round of Indonesian youth life that is worth seeing, experiencing, and executing its values. Because, to warn something happen means we reflect on the good that is in the event. As KH's opinion. Dimyathi Ro'is, here
"... the clerics of antiquity wrote a lot of books manaqib (History of figures) is nothing else because it is one of the most decisive way in preaching ..."
One meaning contained in the admonition of the Youth Pledge; that the Youth Pledge preached one kebaiakan, namely that Youth is the main axis of the movement of the Indonesian nation. Youth means intelligence in behavior, thoughts,
Introspection: awareness, evaluation and strategic plan.
Tan Malaka wrote in his MADILOG that "The history of this universe is a continuous history, the continuity of history. The brain and the intellect of the body and nature of nature, have a continuous history. "
As Tan's expression, the young man who is the driving force of the history series should not be silent. After reflecting the Youth Pledge, our tactical step is to realize that Youth is the axis of nation motion, the nation's progress, and the nation's heritage guard.
It is very appropriate if we want to evaluate ourselves both individually and in the groups we are interested in. Whoever our family name and pedigree, the duty of the Youth as a child of the nation is to be a good child for his time. Being a child of the times that always move the history of the nation to the peak of sovereignty.
In moving, it is necessary to establish clear principles, clear appraisals, and justified practices. In the teachings of Islamic tasawwuf we are taught some distingsi in positioning ourselves to follow something as a role model.
This is as quoted by Shaykh Hasan Muhammad Sa'id ash-Syennawi (Chairman of Egypt's Supreme Council of Sufis), as follows
"... when obedience is directed to the one who is adopted (matbu ') and followed his instructions to God, it is called ittiba'. And if it is addressed to a commander (qudwah) who leads and guides a program then obey is called iqtida '. Furthermore, when addressed to a wise (uswah) who will be imitated goodness and virginity, then obedience is called ta'assi. "
Clearly, in the discussion of Islam we are taught to always refer to someone to serve as role models. On this occasion, of course the Youth '28 is our role model in filling the nation's independence for the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia is intact from the attack of propagandists who want to divide our diversity.
Action: start, move, and organize.
After we re-interpret the Youth Pledge warning this year is the 88th, then, so that each of us is not trapped in melancholy-historical understanding. That we are too immersed in the nostalgia of history so we forget our duty as a youth. Al-Fayyadl has reminded us of this in his book,
"History takes us to the nostalgia of something fixed, which passes between the sequences of facts. Then comes the illusion that what remains is a clear proof that there is a truth in the past that continues to haunt the present ... "
So challenging Al-Fayyadl's expression in warning us not to be trapped by history. We should not be lulled in momentum and ceremonial.
Kongkritnya, humans are the most amazing creatures that have been created by Allah swt, as in the phrase popularized by Pico della Mirandolla quoting from al-Imam Ibn Qutaybah, following,
"... when Abdalla (Arab) is asked about something most admired on the world stage, he says that nothing is more amazing than man."
At the end of the day, each of us is a steward of the younger generation '28. According to the author itself the task consists only of three important things; ie, start, move, and organize.
Intend yourself to get started in "moving" according to our capacity and expertise. Achieving is the key word, in whatever field we are; writing, diplomacy, creating technology, economic, socio-cultural, and so forth. As long as we are alive, we are required to work.
By organizing the direction of our movement is more directed and closer to us toward the goals and ideals together. As Pram puts it in his Footsteps, "Be a propagandist of the company!", For there is nothing new under the sun, Nihil novi sub sole.
Ahirnya, a piece of verse from Rumi's poem will be the ultimate author to serve as a reminder for us all,
Go knock on the door of your own heart!
And a famous phrase from Ibn Qutaybah may be a guide for us all as a source of motivation in actualizing the meaning of our existence as a youth,
"There's nothing spectari homine admirabilius-nothing more amazing than humans."
