JAKARTA - Khatib Salat Eid al-Adha at the Head Office of the Nahdlatul Ulama Executive Board (PBNU), Ghufron Mubin, said that the momentum of Eid al-Adha is the right time to free people from fear and worry.

"Humans in life are always overshadowed by fear and fear. Therefore, Allah chooses us to be present at the Eid prayer to appear up, strengthen faith, and be free from these two things," said Ghufron, after leading prayers in Jakarta, Friday, June 6.

He reminded that the devil always instills fear of prudence and shortcomings in humans. However, with a strong faith, humans can free themselves from the shadow.

"The rich are worried that their wealth will not increase, those who do not have the fear of living in trouble. In fact, Allah promises great forgiveness and blessings for anyone whose heart is full of faith," he said.

Ghufron also emphasized that Eid al-Adha, which coincides with the peak of the pilgrimage in Arafah, is a moment to train the social intelligence of the people. According to him, the priority of sharing with others has the same value as that of the pilgrimage.

"Grid intelligence will not grow without social intelligence. There are people who do not go for Hajj, but because they prioritize sharing with others, Allah gives them a great reward," he said.

In commemoration of this year's Eid al-Adha, PBNU in collaboration with NU Online Super App and the Amil Zakat, Infak, and Sedekah Nahdlatul Ulama (LAZISNU) institutions, also provides practical and environmentally friendly sacrificial services as a form of concern for nature's sustainability.

Distribution of sacrificial meat which usually uses plastic bags is now replaced with bamboo shells and banana leaves. Apart from being environmentally friendly, this method is considered safer for health because it avoids contamination of chemicals from plastic.

The use of this natural packaging also has a positive impact on the environment because it is naturally decomposable, so it does not add to the burden of waste that pollutes nature.
