JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), KH. Anwar Iskandar, emphasized MUI's commitment to continue to support the Palestinian people's struggle to achieve independence from colonialism and genocide crimes by Israeli zionists.
"MUI together with the Indonesian government will never stop providing concrete support for our brothers and sisters in Palestine," said Anwar while giving a speech at the National Gathering of Islamic Organizations-Ormas and Halal Bihalal Eid al-Fitr 1446 H at the Jakarta Hajj Dormitory, Antara, Thursday, April 24.
He stressed that all Muslims are obliged to provide support in any form to help Palestinians free from Israeli arbitrariness.
"As much as possible we must jihad to help Palestine. From Israel's injustice and vulnerability, we must not remain silent," he said.
Anwar said that jihad was not only in physical form. According to him, if you are unable to provide military or economic assistance, at least support can be given through prayer.
"If you can't do anything else, at least fight with the economy. And even if that's not possible, it's minimal with prayer. Don't let it go at all," he said.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the MUI for Foreign Relations and International Cooperation, Sudarnoto Abdul Hakim, also called on Muslims to intensify humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people through credible philanthropic institutions.
According to him, national solidarity is needed to ease the suffering of the Palestinian people and strengthen the position of their struggle for independence in the eyes of the world.
