MEDAN - The statement from the Minister of Religion (Menag) Yaqut Cholil Qoumas explaining the regulation of using loudspeakers in performing the call to prayer by giving an example of barking dogs has also drawn attention.
The statement also received a response from the Deputy Mayor of Medan Aulia Rachman.
Through her Instagram account, @bungauliarachman, Aulia emphasized that the call to prayer is a call to prayer for Muslims. This has been going on since the time of the Prophet Muhammad.
"And the call to prayer must be strong and loud so that it can be heard and awakens us Muslims to as soon as possible carry out the obligatory prayers every day," wrote Aulia Rachman on her Instagram page, Thursday, February 24.
In his post, Bobby Nasution's representative admitted that he was sad and disappointed as a Muslim.
"However, it would be sad and disappointed for us as Muslims if the sound of the call to prayer is compared with the sound of animals," he wrote.
According to Aulia Rachman, the Minister of Religion of Yaqut should be able to use an appropriate language analogy.
"Supposedly, if what the minister said was aimed at facilitating explanations regarding speakers, use an appropriate and appropriate language analogy, not the other way around," he said.
This Gerindra Party politician also quoted the words of the Prophet Muhammad which reads, Khotibun-nas ala qadri ukulihim.
"Speaking to humans is in accordance with improving their minds. I think in the current era, almost everyone already has a wise and educated level of knowledge and reasoning in language etiquette," he explained.
"Speak according to the capacity and function that is comparable to the knowledge gained and the position held," he continued.
Aulia Rachman hoped and asked the Minister of Religion Yaqut to apologize for his controversial remarks.
"I hope and ask the minister of religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas to apologize for his remarks," he said.
