ACEH - West Aceh Regent Haji Ramli MS asked all youth mosques in his area to be at the forefront of warding off radical ideas that damage the faith and sense of Muslim nationalism.

"Practice the true teachings of Islam, namely moderate Islam that prioritizes coolness, peace, and tolerance, but remains firm in upholding Islamic law", said Ramli MS in Meulaboh, Friday, November 12.

According to him, in addition to studying religious knowledge, mosque youth must also get a strengthened understanding of the values of Pancasila, so that later it is hoped that they can realize the young generation of West Aceh who is Islamic and Pancasilaist.

"Work sincerely and professionally, just to get the pleasure of Allah SWT for the realization of a Kaffah Islamic law in West Aceh Regency", said Ramli MS.

He also emphasized that with the provision of adequate knowledge, mosque youth could be a motivator for the community to prosper the mosques in West Aceh Regency.

"The youth of the mosque is the backbone in moving people to love the mosque", added Ramli MS.

He said that mosque youth have a very important role in efforts to prosper every mosque, both at the village, sub-district, and district levels.

According to him, at a productive age, mosque youth have the enthusiasm and capacity to invite people to come to the mosque with their various creativity.

For that, said Ramli MS, there needs to be an increase in capacity for the youth of the mosque, so that their roles and functions can be further optimized in inviting the community, especially the millennial generation to love the house of Allah SWT.

With adequate knowledge, Ramli MS hopes that mosque youth can channel positive energy to the community, with various religious activities such as Taklim assemblies and Islamic competition activities, to raise public awareness of the importance of mosques in maintaining Ukhuwah Islamiyah in the midst of the current era of globalization.

"A mosque teenager must be able to become an imam, muezzin, and preacher, as well as maintain his behavior in growing people's love for mosques and Islamic law", said Ramli MS.
