JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo invites Muslims to use the commemoration of Nuzulul Quran as a reinforcement of togetherness in order to create a prosperous and peaceful country.

This was conveyed in the commemoration of the Nuzulul Quran 1443 Hijri which was held by the Ministry of Religion. According to the Christian calendar, in the month of Ramadan this year, Nuzulul Quran falls on this day.

"I invite Muslims to take this Nuzulul Quran commemoration as a momentum to strengthen togetherness in diversity which is very much needed in realizing a country and nation that is baldatun thayyibatun wa rabbun ghafur," said Jokowi, Tuesday, April 19.

Jokowi explained that Nuzulul Quran is commemorated as the day the Qur'an was revealed as the holy book of Muslims. He views, the Qur'an is a miracle from Allah SWT. in which there is no doubt.

"The Qur'an is a guide and a differentiator between truth and falsehood, as a warning, as mercy, as an explanation, as good news, and even as a medicine for a heart that is sad and sick," said Jokowi.

Jokowi continued, in the Qur'an it is emphasized that the diversity that occurs in various divine creatures is essentially a decree and scenario from Allah SWT.

The diversity that exists in Indonesia, continued Jokowi, is a gift from Allah SWT. which must be maintained by the people properly.

"We must realize that each of the diverse elements of the nation has its own merits and advantages," said Jokowi.

"Don't let any of us feel better than others, feel better than others, or even more holy than others. We may be different from others, but that doesn't mean we feel better than others," he added.
