JAKARTA - The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) said that all crew members of the KRI Nanggala-402 who died as state servants in the waters north of Bali Island died in a martyr state. Head of the MUI Fatwa Division, Asrorun Niam Sholeh, said that every Muslim who drowns especially while doing state duties is a martyr.
"The identified victims of KRI Nanggala 402 had prayed in congregation before sailing, were carrying out official and state duties, therefore they are included as martyrs," said Asrorun Niam in his statement in Jakarta, Monday, April 26.
Quoting the hadith of the Prophet in the authentic hadith narrated by Abi Hurairah. Rasulullah said, "Whoever is killed in the way of Allah, he is martyred. Whoever dies (without being killed) in the way of Allah is martyred, who is martyred because of the plague of tha'un he is martyred. Who dies of stomachache, he is martyred. died by drowning, he was martyred, "said Niam.
Therefore, continued Niam, MUI invites all Muslims in the country to hold occult prayers and pray for the victims to be given the best place in the sight of Allah SWT. As well as the families left behind are given courage, sincerity and inner and outer strength.
"Let's participate to alleviate their grief, including by providing scholarships for children who are left behind," said Niam. Niam hoped that Muslims would also pray that the Indonesian state would continue to be given the ability and strength to maintain defense and security. As well as maintaining the uprightness of the Republic of Indonesia. "Saved from various difficulties, calamities, reinforcements, distress, and various external and internal threats, until baldatun thayybatun wa rabbun ghafur was realized," concluded Niam.
