JAKARTA - The preacher and leader of the Ora Islamic Boarding School Aji Sleman Miftah Maulana Habiburrahman alias Gus Miftah emphasized that he had never mentioned the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag) regarding the use of speakers (noisespeakers) during the fasting month.
"The Indonesian Ministry of Religion should not bring feelings (baper), look at Abah's speech (gus Miftah's nickname), whether it is shown to the Ministry of Religion, 'no. Why is it baper by saying abah asbun (original sound)," he said in a written statement in Jakarta quoted by Antara, Tuesday.
Miftah said this when responding to a statement by the Ministry of Religion spokesman who called himself a stockpile and failed to understand the use of speakers during the fasting month.
Gus Miftah firmly said that he did not have any lectures with the mention of a circular letter from the Indonesian Ministry of Religion.
"So, once again I emphasize, Gus Miftah never mentioned that the circular letter from the Indonesian Ministry of Religion was related to loudspeakers because the one who suggested the limitation of the speaker was not only the Minister of Religion," he explained.
For the sake of Ramadan's syiar, he said, the use of speakers must still be done in order to restore the atmosphere of the fasting month in the old age.
"However, everything must have a limit in the use of speakers. Say until 22.00 p.m. wearing the outer speaker. Ramadan's excitement must be returned to the same as our parents' childhood, so the nuances of Ramadan are felt," he said.

The Ministry of Religion said that Gus Miftah failed to understand because he compared the appeal for the use of the speaker to dangdutan which he said was not prohibited, even until 01.00.
"Gus Miftah looks asam and fails to understand the circular regarding guidelines for using loudspeakers in mosques and prayer rooms. Because of the ash and did not understand, what was conveyed was also haphazard, inappropriate," said Ministry of Religion spokesman Anna Hasbie in her statement, as quoted by Antara.
