ACEH - General Chairperson of the Aceh Da'wah Council, Prof Muhammad AR, asked the Acting Mayor of Banda Aceh, Bakri Siddiq, to oversee the implementation of the enforcement of Islamic law in the capital city of Aceh Province so that it can take place in a kaffah manner.

"If Islamic law is to be enforced in Banda Aceh City, then allocate sufficient funds to the relevant agencies. Then activate the role of the WH and the Satpol PP," said Prof Muhamammad AR during a gathering with the Acting Mayor of Banda Aceh Bakri Siddiq in Banda Aceh, Antara, Monday, July 25.

The Acting Mayor of Banda Aceh was asked to allocate sufficient funds for the effective enforcement of Islamic law in Banda Aceh City. So far, funds for the enforcement of Islamic Shari'a are still inadequate, in fact some have not been allocated, such as for operations.

In addition, he said, the local government was also asked to more intensively carry out operations in places that often cause immorality, such as tourist attractions, cafes and other suspicious places in Banda Aceh City.

"Of course, the implementation of Islamic law must be supported by all parties. The TNI and Polri are no exception, both of them must also back up the implementation of Islamic law," he said.

According to Prof. Muhammad, the Aceh Da'wah Council, which is one of the Islamic organizations focused and serious in the affairs of Islamic Shari'a in Aceh, is ready to assist and oversee the implementation of Islamic law in a kaffah manner.

Meanwhile, said Prof Muhammad, Mayor of Banda Aceh Bakri Siddiq said that he would implement Islamic law in a humanistic manner, because Banda Aceh is the entrance to Aceh as the Veranda of Mecca.

Because, if Banda Aceh can really show a good example in the implementation of Islamic law, maybe other regions will imitate it too.

In addition, he continued, in building Banda Aceh, Bakri Siddiq prioritized four things, namely the implementation of Islamic law that is rahmatan lil alamin, cleanliness of the city of Banda Aceh, paying the village head's salary (keuchik) before his sweat dries and handling clean water so that it runs smoothly and complete infrastructure. which is still abandoned.
