Prabowo Subianto Admits He Is Islam Abangan In Today's Memory, May 13, 2018

JAKARTA Memori hari ini, tujuh tahun yang lalu, 13 Mei 2018, Ketua Umum Partai Geraksi Indonesia Raya (Gerindra), Prabowo Subianto mengakui dirinya masuk kategori Islam abangan. Ia tak ingin orang lain menganggapnya sebagai ahli agama Islam.

Previously, Prabowo often emphasized that he was born from a family of different religions. His mother himself was born into Christianity. Likewise, many of his brothers and sisters. This narrative made Prabowo understand Indonesian diversity.

Prabowo Subianto's appearance on the political stage is full of dynamics. He went through everything with enthusiasm to build a political party, Gerindra. Recently Prabowo's popularity has increased.

Take for example when Prabowo decided to run for Gerindra in the 2014 presidential election. He who challenged Joko Widodo (Jokowi) had many loyal fans. However, not a few also want to bring down his reputation with a black campaign.

Prabowo is considered to be only side by side with Islamic groups. He is described as not like religious groups outside Islam. Not to mention that Prabowo is believed to be unable to see various Indonesians. The issue continues as many scholars support Prabowo's candidacy.

Prabowo was not silent. He was furious and took action immediately. Prabowo emphasized that it was a matter of respecting diversity that had become his daily food. Prabowo did not take the example far away. He looked at how his family appreciated diversity.

His mother is known to have been born a Christian. Likewise with his brothers and sisters. This condition is not an obstacle. Diversity actually made Prabowo able to appreciate differences.

Prabowo also emphasized that his family is a Pancasila family. He also emphasized that even though his family is different, everything is in one wish: to live in harmony. A life that is the dream of many Indonesians.

"Who says I don't support Christianity. My mother is Christian, my brother is Catholic. So how can I not support Christians. We are also committed to raising cooperatives," Prabowo said as quoted by the Tribunnews.com page, June 18, 2014.

Prabowo did lose in the 2014 presidential election. However, that does not mean that Prabowo's existence is disrupted. It has been rumored that Prabowo will run again as a presidential candidate in the 2019 presidential election. This condition has affected him by many new issues.

Prabowo's life as a Muslim was questioned. Prabowo then spoke to the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) Milad at Sentul International Center, Bogor, West Java, May 13, 2018.

Prabowo emphasized that he was categorized as a member of the Islamic category. A thing that is understood as a people who carry out Islam on a limited basis. He admits that his abilities are limited to Islam.

Prabowo considers him not a religious expert. His worship is still broad. Prabowo's honesty also received appreciation from many parties. He is considered brave to admit that he does not understand much about Islam compared to other politicians who force themselves to image themselves as religious experts.

"I did come from the Central Java family mixed with Sulawesi. So indeed I was categorized as Islam Abangan. But because I was close to the PMII organization, HMI and so on, it took a little bit of time. But if you want to argue with a verse, I'm fluent in raising my hand. But I'm Muslim. . "

"I used to be a soldier. So when I was inaugurated, I faced death. Usually we remember God so we looked for a kiai. So that's where the army is near the kiai. Even though there are many prayers, there are a little skipping. But I have a spiritual program that teaches officers who defend the country, yes, there is dispensation," Prabowo said as quoted on the coil page, May 13, 2018.
