Contoh Script Presentasi Lengkap
Berikut contoh script presentasi tentang Ramadan yang bisa kamu adaptasi.
SLIDE 1: TITLE
“Good morning/afternoon everyone. My name is [nama], and today I’m excited to share with you about Ramadan, the holy month of fasting for Muslims around the world.”
SLIDE 2: WHAT IS RAMADAN?
“So, what exactly is Ramadan? Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. It’s considered the holiest month because Muslims believe that during this month, the Quran, our holy book, was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad.
For Muslims, Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, which means fasting during this month is obligatory for all healthy adult Muslims. This year, approximately 1.8 billion Muslims around the world will observe Ramadan.”
SLIDE 3: THE PRACTICE OF FASTING
“During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset. This means no eating, no drinking – not even water – from the time the sun rises until it sets.
But fasting isn’t just about food and drink. It’s also about controlling our thoughts, words, and actions. We try to avoid negative behaviors like gossiping, lying, or getting angry.
Now, you might be wondering, ‘Isn’t that harmful to your health?’ Actually, not everyone is required to fast. Children, elderly people, those who are sick, pregnant or nursing mothers, and travelers are exempted. Islam is very considerate of people’s circumstances.”
SLIDE 4: A DAY IN RAMADAN
“Let me walk you through a typical day during Ramadan.
We wake up very early, around 3 or 4 AM, for a meal called sahur. This is our last chance to eat and drink before the fast begins. We try to eat nutritious food and drink plenty of water.
Then we pray the Fajr, or dawn prayer, and our fast officially begins. During the day, we go about our normal activities – work, school, everything – while fasting.
When the sun sets, we break our fast with a meal called iftar. Following the tradition of Prophet Muhammad, we usually start with dates and water. Then we have a full meal, often with family and friends.
After dinner, many Muslims go to the mosque for special night prayers called Tarawih. These prayers are unique to Ramadan and can last one to two hours.”
SLIDE 5: SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE
“You might wonder, why do Muslims fast? There are several spiritual reasons.
First, fasting teaches self-discipline. When you can control your most basic urges – hunger and thirst – you become stronger in controlling other aspects of your life.
Second, it develops empathy. By experiencing hunger, we gain a deeper understanding of what millions of people who live in poverty feel every day. This often inspires us to be more charitable.
Third, it’s a time for spiritual reflection and getting closer to God. With less focus on physical needs, we can concentrate more on prayer, reading the Quran, and self-improvement.
Fourth, Ramadan strengthens community bonds. Families gather for iftar, friends meet for prayers, and neighbors share food. It’s a beautiful time of togetherness.”
SLIDE 6: RAMADAN IN INDONESIA (atau negaramu)
“I’d like to share some unique traditions from Indonesia, where I come from.
In Indonesia, we have a beautiful tradition of ‘buka bersama’ or breaking fast together. Companies organize iftar for employees, schools for students, and friends make plans to meet at restaurants or homes.
Before dawn, you can hear the sound of ‘bedug,’ large drums at mosques, signaling it’s time for sahur. In some neighborhoods, young people walk through the streets, calling out to wake their neighbors.
Our iftar tables feature special foods like kolak – a sweet coconut dessert with bananas – and various fried snacks we call gorengan.
The night before Eid, called takbiran night, is magical. People parade through streets chanting praises to God, and the air is filled with excitement and joy.”
SLIDE 7: END OF RAMADAN – EID AL-FITR
“Ramadan ends with a celebration called Eid al-Fitr, which means ‘Festival of Breaking the Fast.’ It’s one of the most important holidays in Islam.
On Eid morning, Muslims wake up early, wear their best clothes, and gather for a special Eid prayer. Then we visit family and friends, share meals, and exchange gifts. Children often receive money from elders.
Before the celebration, Muslims are required to give Zakat al-Fitr, a charitable contribution to ensure that everyone, including the poor, can enjoy the holiday.”
SLIDE 8: CLOSING
“In conclusion, Ramadan is much more than fasting. It’s a month of spiritual growth, community bonding, charity, and self-reflection. It’s a time when Muslims reconnect with their faith and with each other.
Whether you’re Muslim or not, I hope this presentation has helped you understand why Ramadan is so meaningful to nearly 2 billion people around the world.
Thank you for listening. Does anyone have any questions?”
