Welcome speech of my paternal cousin, Amier Hassan Tan, during the Taekwondo Belting Ceremony Program held in Dammam, KSA.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahiim...
In the Name of Almighty God, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakatuhu…..
What can be more beautiful and perfect than the universal greetings for all mankind…..
The Peace of Almighty GOD, His Mercy and His Blessings be upon us all today….
Honorable guests….fellow taekwondo colleagues, ladies and gentlemen….. GOOD AFTERNOON
As we gather this afternoon in this place to witness this momentous occasion, allow me to express my pride and joy of giving salute and honor to our beloved parents who struggle and sacrifice for the sake of our dreams despite their extremely hectic schedules as OFWs. They tirelessly nurtured us to become responsible children of society. You are indeed our inspirations in every step that we shall take in our lives.
Notably, I want as well to give honor to our instructors who patiently molded us in this noble endeavor of Taekwondo. I know just like our beloved parents, you are also busy professionals. However, it did not in anyway became a reason for you not to give full time to perfectly train us day by day. Martial arts is so much more than just kicking and punching. The life skills you taught as a daily part of our classes help us--your children grow into responsible young adults.
Furthermore, allow me to share to you this information. Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, said a strong believer was better than a weak believer.[ Saheeh Muslim]
He was talking in terms of faith and character but also indicating that physical strength i.e. optimum health and fitness were desirable, providing God gave us the ways and means of attaining such strength.
A true believer of Islamic Faith recognizes the wonder of the human body and is grateful to the Creator. This gratitude is shown in the care and attention given to maintaining optimum health. Islam’s holistic approach to health covers all aspects of the mind, body and soul. A truly health conscious person blends diet, nutrition and exercise with the remembrance of God and an intention to fulfill all their religious obligations.
Again, thank you my beloved parents and mentors for collaboratively nurturing us to become well-rounded and responsible children of your society. I heartily express deep gratitude for your untiring effort and assistance extended to me during the course of my Taekwondo journey.
Thanks for coming everyone and welcome to our Taekwondo belting Ceremony Program.
May Allaah bless us all.
