Be The Best of Yourself

There are many things that can be discussed related with teenagers. They are very special and unique. People say that being teenagers are the most beautiful moment in our lives. Anything can happen to them. Some teenagers are having good talent and potential in a certain field. However, some of them are involved in a very bad social relationship, such as getting in touch with drugs, being pregnant without married, “Naudzhubillah”. Besides the education that they get from family and school, the most important thing is the relationship in their neighbourhood, if the relationship is not in a good order the teenagers will face difficulties in them futures.

Talking about Moslem teenagers, many of them have desire to be good Moslem ones. They also want to be stylish. Is it possible? Off course, it is.

Before going further, firstly, it would be better if we know what it meant by teenagers. Teenagers are those who are 13 – 20 years old. In these ages they have developed their appearances perfectly. Females start to be attracted with males and so do males. They want to find out new things and new idols (time o find self identification). They often being idealistic ones but their emotions are still unbalance. It will be dangerous if there is no guidance in these ages. Secondly, Moslem teenagers are those who always maintain the identity of Islam in their lives, the way they dress, talk, have social relationship, behave, and are suitable with the norms of Islam. We can say that Moslem teenagers are those who always apply their belief in their daily life by doing worship. They always want to seek “Mardhotillah”. They live as bees who always give benefit to others.

So, in my opinion, the stylish Moslem teenagers are those who have Moslems characteristics, but they are not introverted ones. They are so familiar with the technology. They have vision to make a progress in the futures.

However, we may find the phenomenon happens generally, many teenagers get negative influences. For example they are wearing Jilbab, but they are accustomed to stay in a bad manner. They are good in religion, but they are very introverted. They feel what they have done is always right. They cannot accept the other opinion.

Sometimes, we find the teenagers wearing Jilbab just for formality. They don’t care with the Jilbab that they wear. They hang around the street with their boyfriends. They are not shy to hug one another. Sometimes, they behave as if they were a couple of wife and husband. They feel proud of changing boyfriends many times. They consider it is as a great achievement that they have got.

Based on many problems above, the suggestions that can be given are:

First, it is very important to strengthen the belief foundation for those who are in the teenagers’ ages. They are made to be accustomed to do worship everyday, such as having prayer together, reading Al Qur’an and understanding the meaning, having polite behaviour, not doing the evil, helping their parents. So they will feel have strong and good characteristics.

Next, it is a must to be stylish Moslems in this era. Psychologically they want to be free to express their minds, to have many friends, to have a wide social relationship. In this case, they have to strengthen the belief in Allah, and always do worship. They also have to be curious in finding the knowledge and experience.

We can take a look at Zaskia adya mecca’s life. She is an actress. Usually the life of an actress is full of glamour. While the other actress likes to have a very sexy performance, she wears jilbab. By wearing jilbab, off course it will control her behaviour. For example she will be selective in deciding the roles that she will take. I’m sure she will reject the roles that force her to put off the jilbab. In this case, she shows her willing in doing something based on the religion she has. I can say that she is one stylish Moslems that we can find.

Finally, the stylish Moslem teenagers must have sincere principle in their lives, because the function of being stylish is to give benefit for the others and to get “ridlo” from Allah SWT.
