Hidayat Nur Wahid Invites Muslims To Continue The Spirit Of Eid Al-Adha

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly Muhammad Hidayat Nur Wahid (HNW) invited Muslims to continue the spirit of Eid al-Adha 1444 Hijri so that the creation of a sense of unity and integrity during the political year gave a positive meaning to life.

"We have had many elections, the elections in 2024 should be better, cheerful, happy, far from intimidation and manipulation," he said after becoming a preacher for Eid al-Adha prayers at the Jami An Najah Mosque, Kebon Melati, Tanah Abang, Jakarta, as quoted in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Thursday, June 29.

According to him, the hot atmosphere that is often faced ahead of the election will be corrected if the tolerant attitude as responding to the differences in Eid can be maintained and developed.

"This nation is increasingly understanding about ukhuwah, tolerance, moderation, and this is important to continue to be developed, especially now that it has entered the political year," he said.

This is because HNW is grateful for the difference in determining the fall of Eid al-Adha in 2023 to be addressed tolerantly and does not present conflicts or friction among Muslims.

"Alhamdulillah, the differences that exist, let alone are only furu (branches are not a core problem) can be addressed proportionally, tolerantly, and not enlarged, in fact, the case of holding Eid prayers even though it can finally be overcome," he said.

He also hopes that the ukhuwah, tolerance, and coexistence networks need to be maintained so that such an atmosphere brings joy to the life of the nation and state.

He also reminded that the celebration of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha is mandated by the Prophet to provide an understanding that in religion there is also joy, benefit, benefit, and a way to bring closer relations between humans and creators and between equalities.

So, he continued, the tradition related to religion needs to be maintained, continued, and strengthened.

Along with the Eid celebration which coincided with the implementation of the pilgrimage, he also hoped that the pilgrims who were performing the pilgrimage could become a great pilgrimage.

Mabruur bagi dirinya, masyarakat, bangsa, dan negara, sehingga pengadoran mereka untuk kemasautan, diri, keluarga, umat, bangsa dan negara, juga dapat diberapatkan Allah SWT," kata dia.
