According to Paryan, at this year's Eid al-Adha celebrations, the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati together with the Director-General of Taxes, Suryo Utomo, and the Director-General of Financial Balance, Primanto Astera Bakti, held the Eid prayer at the Salahuddin Mosque, the Head Office of the Directorate General of Taxes, Jakarta.

Meanwhile, the preacher for the Eid prayer and member of the Central MUI National Sharia Council Muhammad Sofwan Jauhari in his sermon revealed that the best human being is the one who provides the most benefits to others.

"This is how the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) explained it. Sacrifice is an example of how we can become useful people for others by sharing good things", said Sofwan.

He also explained many things that can be imitated from Ibrahim as Khalilullah or lover of Allah, namely first, love and concern for the family because family is the smallest and closest environment.

Second, love and concern for the environment with Ibrahim's determination to improve the quality of life of the people of his time, especially in the field of ideology.

"The third is love and concern for the country and nation which is shown by Ibrahim's efforts to defend his nation and country from all forms of disobedience and injustice. And lastly, Ibrahim's love and concern achieved God's love, which required him to sacrifice Ismail", concluded Central MUI Member, Muhammad Sofwan Jauhari.
