Zulkifli Hasan/DOK VOI-Wardhany Tsa Tsia

BANDA ACEH - DPW Aceh Province National Mandate Party (PAN) emphasized that it is impossible for a Zulkifli Hasan (Zulhas) to demean religious values because he is very religious, even consistently fasting the sunnah of the Prophet Daud.

"He (Zulhas) consistently fasts the Prophet Daud, so it is very impossible to demean religious values," said Secretary of the Aceh PAN DPW Irpannusir, in Banda Aceh as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, December 21.

Previously, a viral video containing a joke from the Minister of Trade and General Chairperson of the PAN DPP Zulkifli Hasan at the National Working Meeting of the Indonesian Market Traders Association (APPSI) in Semarang.

At that time Zulhas conveyed jokes regarding the mention (Aamiin) and the index movement during prayer. Then it caused controversy to be considered demeaning religious values. In fact, not at all.

Irpannusir emphasized that it would be unreasonable for Zulhas to demean religious values, because apart from the frequent fasting of Prophet Daud, he also consistently performed the tahajud prayer.

In fact, every time Zulhas visits the area, the Minister of Trade also always performs fardhu prayers at mosques.

"He is also consistent in tahajud, alumni of Religious Teacher Education (PGA), so it is impossible for Ketum Zulhas to demean religious values," said the Deputy Chairman of Commission V of the Aceh DPR.

Not only that, the former Secretary General of PP Pemuda Muhammadiyah also said that Zulhas was one of the Muslim figures who was very concerned and concerned about the lives of Muslims, especially in the archipelago.

Therefore, according to him, it is impossible for a figure who always knits unity between religious adherents in Indonesia to convey something that can demean religious values.

"In his political career, Ketum Zulhas has always encouraged the unity and harmony of the nation and state," said Irpannusir.

He reiterated Zulhas' statement in his speech only to remind the public not to have excessive fanatical attitudes to change the way of a person's worship.

"That is actually Zulhas' good intention to remind the public not to be too fanatical in changing the guidance of worship. It's just conveyed in analogy so that it is easily understood by the people," said Irpannusir.
