On occasion, Mahfud has given mandate to deliver speech. Mahfud explained the attitude of simplicity schools in the era of the 60s. According to him, can not imagine people who study in schools could occupy several important positions in the government or other state agencies.

 

"I can not imagine that studied in Islamic boarding house could be general solicitor, can not imagine why the first people in boarding a minister because once when we were colonized by the Dutch government that there is political education that discriminates against Muslims the opportunity to become an official," said Mahfud.

 

Due to discrimination, in 1952, the Minister of Religious KH Wahid Hasyim together with the Minister of Culture of Teaching and Major Johan makes Decree (SKB) which read: "madrassa graduates in Islamic civil effect given the same junior high school graduates, graduates of Islamic Elementary School get into the junior high school junior high school can enter Aliyah, Ibtidaiyah graduates get into high school, Aliyah graduates can enter the state university, high school graduates can enter college religion ".

 

So, since its the schools educational products received awards from the state. "Then in the 60s LCS product is already generating a lot of kids graduate high school and Aliyah students who work in government offices," said Mahfud.

 

According to Mahfud, this is a challenge for schools. According to him, we can achieve these conditions for independence, if Indonesia is not independent, may not like it. "Ill continue to like it and the colonized Muslims in the nation it has always been a runner myself," he said.

 

Mahfud affirm, as the schools do not get discouraged. Schools precisely now that many lead this country that was not possible, now become possible. "So, be proud that my students and students that can do not get into it and feel students should not have low self-confidence," he said.

 

If we look at the struggle of the clergy, then haul the KH-35. Ruhiat and haul the KH-5. Moh. Ilyas Ruhiat like this is to communicate and then imitate and reflect that those it rendered to the nation, the state, and society. According to Mahfud, they have set an example that religious life is its very broad.

 

"Life of religion that includes political life because he also teaches that political Islam is that Muslims do not want to blind politics and considers it unlawful, then the Muslims are not advanced. Political nature, why is there no human life without politics, so you were born, youve become part of a political organization," said Mahfud.

 

Therefore, further Mahfud, politics should not be abandoned but used to go to a political cause. "The constitution is that in religion roughly synonymous with mitsaqon gholizho, bond sublime, sublime covenant, or modus vivendi that is unconstitutional," he said. "So we as Muslims should also be based on the political foundation of the Constitution because the Constitution is mitsaqon gholizho of life with Indonesia."

 

Mahfud said, now needed by this nation is the leadership and example. Because, no modelling or good examples then no firmness. So there is confusion among the public, and the public to make its own laws. "Why? Because leadership and example were not there. "

 

According to him, Indonesia still has a long future. The future of Indonesia, especially younger children, the task now is preparing to take the relay on the leadership in the future.

 

Ending his speech, Mahfud advised to all students, to imitate our master Muhammad. "Then the closest we today, tonight is Kyai and Kyai Ilyas Ruhiat that one of the important exemplified how we live in a society that is true, building a welfare society it is our duty of religious life," he said.
