JAKARTA Memories of today, two years ago, February 18, 2023, Chairman of the Central Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) for Da'wah and Ukhuwah, Cholil Nafis denied Megawati's statement regarding mothers participating in the recitation neglected by children. Cholil has many benefits. After all, children's affairs have been fulfilled before going to the recitation.

Previously, Megawati's statement regarding many mothers who forgot their time when attending the recitation became a polemic. The religious activities that were followed made them forget their obligation to take care of their children. The statement received a lot of criticism.

Recitation activities are often the prima donna among those who are Muslim. Recitation can bring many benefits. Recitation can also strengthen the rope of togetherness. The ability to think and sensitivity becomes trained.

Recently, Megawati Soekarnoputri has other views regarding mothers participating in recitations. The 5th former Indonesian President saw that mothers often forget the time when they take part in the recitation. Their presence in the recitation made their time to serve their families a little.

They forget to take care of their children. The children were abandoned. Megawati revealed the statement in a discussion themed "The Universe Movement Plans to Prevent Stunting in Jakarta on February 16, 2023".

"I saw the mothers, sorry, why are you so happy to attend the recitation. Sorry, sorry. How long is this recitation? How long are you doing?"

"Yes, that doesn't mean I can't (enter the recitation). I've also participated in the recitation. I mean, I'll tell Mrs. Risma later, I'll tell Mrs. Bintang, please make household management," said Megawati, February 16, 2023.

Megawati's statement continues to be a hot ball. Megawati is considered not to like recitation. In fact, Megawati wants to be reported to Komnas HAM because her statement is like prohibiting women from attending recitations. Many think going to recitation is a personal matter. The right of a woman too.

MUI officials for Da'wah and Ukhuwah, KH Cholil Nafis, also spoke up on February 18, 2023. He emphasized that Megawati's statement to mothers who neglected their children because they participated in the recitation was wrong. Women participating in the recitation have automatically thought about the interests of the family.

Many of the mothers have prepared their children's needs before joining the recitation. Moreover, in women's recitation, you can train a lot of ways of thinking and sensitivity in life. Cholil also forgives Megawati and asks that this problem not drag on.

He asked megawati not to take care of matters of recitation activities. Women going to recitation is a right. A right that in fact is protected by the state.

"I'm sorry. But there's no story that women are diligent in studying it so stupid and not creative. The salary trains the heart and studies mind training. There are many who can combine at once.

"About not having fun with salaries. However, there is no need to be nosy with women who are diligent in schooling at any time," said Cholil as quoted on the okezone.com page, February 18, 2023.
