JAKARTA - Ade Armando uploaded a video involving Ustaz Yusuf Mansur with the title Religion without Common Sense. This video is the response of a communication science lecturer at the University of Indonesia (UI) to Yusuf Mansur for a lawsuit to the Tangerang District Court on December 10, 2021 for alleged breach of contract against 12 people worth Rp.785 million.

Ade Armando also mentioned Yusuf Mansur's concept of alms by quoting Ustadz Yahya Waloni's statement who accused Yusuf of taking the alms money given by his congregation. He then revealed how Yusuf Mansur convinced his congregation by inserting the argument that the alms given would be replaced with 10 times as much.

"You can see how Yusuf asks the congregation to donate the jewelry they have to Yusuf, with a promise that the donation they give will be rewarded double by Allah," Ade said on Cokro TV's YouTube channel, quoted Tuesday, December 21.

According to Yusuf Mansur, Ade Armando's accusations do not reflect the attitude of an academic. "NO ACADEMIC VERY. IT WAS POSSIBLY BASED ON THE MEDIA. The evidence doesn't use common sense, does it? That his data is leaking on YouTube, is the media? It's sad. It's not very classy as an academic who glorifies common sense," Yusuf Mansur wrote on his Instagram account, quoted on his Instagram account. from ERA.id.

He also admitted that he prefers to answer the allegations in the police and courts rather than having to answer via YouTube or the media. Yusuf also challenged Ade to be responsible for the police. He then said that Ade Armando should not be afraid because he is used to dealing with the authorities.

"But still, waiting for 40 hours of Riyadhah Yasiin to finish first. Who knows, there's still no need to be served, he's the one who is directly responsible for the police. & don't be afraid, Pak Haji Ade Armando... is it normal? reported. If it's not wrong, you can't shudder. But something isn't wrong, it's just: NOT ONLY THE REASON IS DEAD. But the heart is dead?

Yusuf also denied the accusations of a number of parties calling himself a group with Ade Armando. He even said that he was not friends, even though they both supported Joko Widodo in the 2019 Presidential Election (Pilpres).

"Those who have accused me of going to college with Pak Haji Ade, this is proof, I've never attended school. That I support Pak Jokowi, yes. But I'm friends with Pak Haji Ade, not high. I'm not an academic whose reputation is recognized by the campus, students, students. there is a gap. I can't reach him. But this is him who came down to me, hehe," concluded Ustaz Yusuf Mansur.
