JAKARTA - Vice President Ma’ruf Amin as well as Chairman of the Advisory Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) reminded that MUI only has one vision, namely organizational vision, not individual vision or group. "At MUI there is only one vision, MUI vision. There should be no other vision, individual vision, group vision," said Ma'ruf Amin in his remarks at the opening ceremony of the MUI Mukernas II in Jakarta, Antara, Thursday, December 8. He emphasized that if MUI is not a vision, then MUI will be damaged. MUI's vision is a forum for service, both for scholars, scholars, people and the nation and state. "MUI must be solemn to the people because indeed the people who are the majority of this nation must be guarded, taken care of, maintained," said the Vice President. MUI must protect people from deviant behavior, from careless, radical and negligent or irresponsible ways. Including, non-halal consumption. On this occasion, the Vice President then inaugurated the opening of the MUI II Mukernas in 2022 with the theme Optimizing Khidmat in the Context of Increasing the Benefit of the Ummah. "By saying bismillahirrahmanirrahim Mukernas II MUI in 2022, I declare it is open," said Vice President Ma'ruf. Chairman of the Steering Committee Mukernas II MUI Debt Ranuwijaya said the Mukernas which took place on December 8-10 would collect a lot of thoughts and input from the participants which then gave birth to recommendations. According to him, a number of agendas that will be discussed in Mukernas include ratifying the Priority Program of the Commission, the MUI 2023 Agency and Institutions; drafting MUI recommendations for the benefit of Umay, the progress of the nation and state sovereignty; exchanging ideas about the sharia economy and the Islamic Social Fund by inviting related parties; and signing the MoU of the MUI Leadership Council with the Hajj Financial Management Agency and Bank Syariah Indonesia. Deputy Chairperson of the Central MUI Marsudi Syuhud said that the MUI Mukernas II will also discuss various national problems, including providing solutions to the possible emergence of seeds of community division caused by various political dynamics.
