Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Alhamdulillah, prayer and greetings ‘ala Rasulillah, wa bakdu.
World Philosophy Day is a moment for humanity to reflect: where we come from, why we live, and where we will return.
The Quran reminds us in Surah al-Isra’: 16, that the destruction of a nation does not come suddenly, but through a process of moral deviation, elite greed, and the loss of social justice. This is the sunnatullah of history that applies across the ages.
However, the Quran also offers hope. al-A’rāf: 96 emphasizes that faith and piety are the doors to blessings from heaven and earth. This means that global salvation is not only determined by intellectual and material power, but also by spiritual and moral foundations.
So, Qur’anic philosophy is not just a reflection of the mind, but also the wisdom of the heart. He unites reason and conscience, reason and spirituality, to give birth to a civilization that is just, civilized and full of love.
Prayer
Dear Allah, You are the Most Wise, Rabbul ‘Alamīn. Make the momentum of World Philosophy Day a turning point in human consciousness. Guide our minds with the light of Your revelation, straighten our hearts with Your guidance, and unite our steps on the path of justice and mercy.
Protect the nations from destruction due to injustice, greed and arrogance. Open the doors of blessings from heaven and earth for those who believe and are pious. Make us a people who bring rahmatan lil-‘ālamīn, protecting not only humans, but all of Your creation.
Hope
May World Philosophy Day be a reminder that reason without revelation will go astray, and knowledge without faith will give birth to destruction. Our hope is that all human beings will be able to develop a philosophy of life based on monotheism, justice and universal compassion. With that, the world will no longer move towards destruction, but towards global salvation—a Qur’anic civilization that brings peace, prosperity and blessings to all.
Core message:
World Philosophy Day should not only be a space for intellectual reflection, but also a spiritual momentum to reset the direction of civilization: from the path of destruction to the path of global salvation in the light of the Qur’an. So, every leader of every nation or state who lead his people of his nation or state must be wisdom and justice, as what Allah has said through with the holy qur’an.
The leaders must have good mind set, character, attitude, give good samples to the people, give facilities to the people to effort well as well as their skills and able to develop their competitiveness on good regulation made the leader to be used by them as well as they can get good results of the effort made. The wealthy must be believed for the right of them on lives daily, weekly, monthly, and on their lives continuously.
At the end but not the last, the education must give chances to the people to get knowledge, skills as what their talent and completely they get.
Allahu ‘Alam.
Thank you very much
