Prabowo Gibran Receives Support From The Dhikr Council Of Nurul Wathon

Secretary General of the Gerindra Party Ahmad Muzani received the support of the kiai and ulama of the Dhikr Council, Nurul Wathon, for the candidate pair for Vice Presidential Candidate number 2, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

In his remarks, Muzani mentioned that recitation activities must receive protection from the state.

Muzani initially talked about Prabowo's determination if he was elected as the 8th President of the Republic of Indonesia. Prabowo, he said, would use his position to defend the poor, marginalized people, farmers, traders, and defend people who have not enjoyed development.

"Therefore, Pak Prabowo wants them to have a better right to life. Therefore, his determination is to provide free lunch to all students and pregnant women," said Muzani in front of the dhikr assembly which was held in Menteng, Central Jakarta, Thursday, November 30, evening.

"In his opinion, free lunch and free drinking of milk is a way to improve the health of our children, a way to improve the nutrition of our children, so that our children can become healthy, pregnant women can give birth to healthy children and healthy mothers," he continued.

By increasing the nutrition of children and pregnant women, in the next 5 or 10 or even 15-20 years, Indonesia will be met by a healthy generation, a generation with a high IQ and a smart brain. And a generation whose physicality is good.

"That way people's achievements will increase, their achievements in school will be smart, that's what he (Prabowo, ed) hopes for," said the Deputy Chairperson of the MPR.

The deputy chairman of TKN Prabowo-Gibran also said that Prabowo was determined to make pesantren a facilities for Islamic education. Because morals and characterization will be built from Islamic boarding schools.

"Therefore, the pesantren endowment fund as required in the Islamic boarding school law, God willing, it will be realized when he becomes president," said Muzani.

To make that happen, Muzani said, Prabowo needed prayers from the ulama and kiai. Prabowo, he said, also felt that religious life, harmony and tolerance between others must be maintained.

"Our religious life must continue to be glorified, how the recitation of dhikr, solawatan, Yasinan, tahlilan and all forms of recitation, mothers, fathers, children, teenagers who fill activities with recitation every day must get protection from the state. And must obtain guarantees of freedom from the state to carry out their worship beliefs," said Muzani.

Especially recitation for mothers, Muzani emphasized that it should not be prohibited. Because according to her, mothers have an obligation to raise and teach their children to have good character.

"Women who study whether it is Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday must continue to be guaranteed by the state. And mothers also have an obligation to continue to nurture their families. It is this recitation that is used as a reference for mothers to develop children at home, this recitation is used as a reference by mothers to foster their grandchildren at home. Do not even prohibit recitation in certain places," he concluded.
