LAMPUNG - Rais 'Aam Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) Executive Board KH Miftachul Akhyar likens NU's command system to the stick of Prophet Musa. When Syakhona Cholil signaled to KH Hasyim Asy'ari before the establishment of Nahdlatul Ulama, it was done by giving a stick and Surah Thaha verses 17-23 which contains the story of the miracle stick of Prophet Musa as.

"The magic wand of Prophet Musa confirms that NU was born for nothing but to command," he said in the NU 34th Iftitah Conference Sermon at the Darussaadah Islamic Boarding School, Central Lampung, Wednesday, December 22.

Kiai Miftach explained that even now the stick has become a symbol of the commanders' command. As commander in chief, for example, the president also holds the baton.

Thus, the caretaker of the Miftsachus Sunnah Islamic Boarding School, Surabaya, hopes that the establishment of NU is not just an increase in the number of organizations that exist in the community. In addition to maintaining and rectifying the values of Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah, NU is also expected to be the 'powerful' stick of Prophet Musa. from NU Online.

With that, what is expected by the founders of NU is that this largest social organization has a command system called grand control. This means that the NU system and movement must be able to create an organizational line of command from PBNU to management at the sub-branch level.

Thus, NU will become a religious and social organization that moves systemically, proactively, and responsively, and continuously spreads love. Also able to spread benefit in the world until the hereafter and compete in all fields with other organizations.

"We are obliged to maintain and practice the values of ahlussunnah wal jama'ah. Also develop national values and defend the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia," he added.
