Speech : Respect



Assalamu ‘alaikum wr.wb
We see that Human is the most perfect creature, as they were given mind and feeling. They can also choose which is good or which one is bad. But in fact, many of them do not use these benefits for good things, especially teenagers who are having unstable emotion. Many of them did big mistakes like stealing, fighting, and insulting even also to their teachers.
Recently, many students seems neglecting and not respecting their teachers. Consciously or unconsciously many of students insults their teachers. They were talking about their teachers’ weaknesses, refusing their instructions, and shouting at them. These simply show the students do not respect their teachers’ behavior. While actually, they have to respect their teachers. Why? Every people, every students will get the success if they can respect their teachers. Their teachers have given the knowledge for them. Moreover, God loves the people who can respect their teachers.
Now, in this era, students can’t respect their teachers; for example, when students come late to the class they don’t express greeting, like say “Assalamu ‘alaikum’. If students say that, it means they respect their teachers as their parents at school. Actually they know it, but they don’t do it. So, how the students should behave their teachers? First, the students should respect their teachers everywhere and every time. When students talk to teachers, students act in front of teachers, and so on. For example, at the class, when our teachers teach us, do we hear them seriously? Maybe, some of you say yes, but I’m not sure all of you, every time of the teaching and learning process, unconsciously we must be make some noise, maybe talk to friends, use the mobile phone, open the face book, etc. But you know, these are the bad thing from students that mean students don’t respect them. The students should respect their teachers by say greeting if they meet teachers, listen the lesson when they teach, appreciate teachers when they teach, and many others way.
Besides respecting teachers, students should uphold their teachers, too. Like, pray for teachers, thanks and thinks their positives, and make them proud of us. Teachers give us knowledge, so we can stand here. We’re being smart, clever, success because of teachers. Teacher’s job is really great. They change us from stupid become smart. So it’s time to payback their merit. We should respect and uphold them just like we obedient to God. Allah gives us life, beautiful body, comfortable place. But we also pray to Allah, and that’s like appreciation of thanking to Allah. And that’s why we also should give the appreciation of thanking to our teachers that give us knowledge by respect and uphold them.
Then, as students we also should forgive our teachers. When they make mistakes, or they angry with us, we should forgive them, and make it no revenge. We know, sometimes unconsciously we’re insulting and mocking our teachers just because our teachers punish us. If we have revenge, it means we’ve made a sin. Allah doesn’t like the people who have revenge to another people, especially the older people like our teachers. So if you want Allah loves you, you must respect, uphold, and forgive your teachers. Because that’s the good morals that have to do, cause Allah loves this.
Wassalamu ‘alaikum wr.wb
