"The event that was given to me was also entitled a national oration in the framework of the inauguration of the GBI, not for the purpose of worship. It was recorded.

No. I am grateful Alhamdulillah, "he continued.

Incredible. That is the preaching of today. In the past, the task was to Islamize it in the past. infidels, preaching today is infidels of Muslims, "he explained.

Okay, I will read an excerpt from the book Al-Mausu'ah Al-Fiqh Quwait. This book contains an encyclopedia of fiqh issues from various schools of thought, "he continued.

I don't think I need to translate, because netizens, especially those who blaspheme me, are certainly more pious than me, surely you will understand. Thank you. Greetings, my love. to everyone including those who have different opinions with me, even those who blaspheme me, "Gus Miftah concluded.
