JAKARTA - The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) hopes that KH Miftachul Akhyar as Rais Aam PBNU can become a unifying mediator for the people through strengthening ukhuwah Islamiyah, ukhuwah Insaniah, and ukhuwah Wathaniyah.

"So that the power of the people can be part of a calm nation's strength, in a situation of national economic recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic," said MUI Secretary General Amirsyah Tambunan in Jakarta, Monday, December 27.

Amirsyah considered that KH Miftach, who is also the General Chair of MUI, was a figure of a cleric who had the capacity and integrity to protect and protect the people. Those two things, he said, were important in order to strengthen the people.

Therefore, Amirsyah hopes that through the leadership of MUI together with other mass organizations, KH Miftach can realize MUI's vision to create good conditions for social, national and state life.

According to him, Kiai Miftach's election can also gain the pleasure and forgiveness of Allah towards a quality mainstream society for the realization of the glory of Islam. Of course, said Amirsyah, within the framework of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia as a manifestation of mercy for all nature.

"Hopefully (Kiai Miftach, ed) can be a balancer in making NU an independent mass organization to strengthen the people's economy through educational institutions such as Islamic boarding schools," said Amirsyah.

It is known that KH Miftachul Akhyar was elected as PBNU's Rais Aam through the results of consultation and consensus from the Ahlul Halli Wal Aqdi (AHWA) team consisting of 9 senior NU kiai at the 34th PBNU Congress in Lampung, Friday, December 24.
