JAKARTA - The name of the famous cleric Abdul Somad suddenly trended on Twitter, Tuesday, January 11. The name Abdul Somad appeared after the authorities named a former Democratic politician, Ferdinand Hutahaean as a suspect in the case of hate speech with SARA nuances.
In 2019, Ustaz Abdul Somad's (UAS) lecture went viral on various social media lines. UAS said there was an infidel jinn in the statue of the cross. As a result, UAS was reported to the authorities, both at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, the East Nusa Tenggara Police (NTT) and the Metro Jaya Police for disturbing public order.
Due to this commotion, UAS was then invited by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) to provide clarification on his viral lecture. The editor re-presents the UAS clarification as reported by KOMPASTV Youtube, reported Tuesday, January 11. The UAS clarification video was uploaded on August 21, 2019.
UAS said that his viral lecture was an answer to the congregation's questions at the Great Mosque of An-Nur, Riau Province, not the theme of the study. Every Saturday morning, UAS has a schedule of giving material for 1 hour at the mosque.
"That's when people asked questions and I answered, so the video is answering questions," said UAS.
Furthermore, the lecture was delivered in the midst of the Muslim community in the mosque, in a closed place among the Muslims and in a special study on Saturday morning.
"Not at the tabligh akbar in the field of the football stadium, not at busy times but at the recitation. I am explaining the faith of a Muslim as in Islam it is taught 'truly angels do not enter houses and mosques if there are statues in them'. only the jinn," continued UAS. "If I have to apologize, it means that the verse must be discarded. Na'udzubillah," continued UAS.
