JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto attended the inauguration and introduction (ta'aruf) of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) management for the 2025-2030 period at the Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta, Saturday morning, in an event that raised the theme "United in Prayer for National Safety".
President Prabowo arrived at the event location at around 10.00 WIB with several members of the Red and White Cabinet such as Cabinet Secretary (Seskab) Teddy Indra Wijaya and Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Prasetyo Hadi.
Then, President Prabowo, accompanied by Minister of Religion Nasaruddin Umar, immediately approached the ranks of the MUI leadership and greeted them one by one. In the front row where the MUI leaders were, there was also the Chairman of the MPR RI Ahmad Muzani.
After greeting the ulama, President Prabowo then walked to his chair. The President sat flanked by the General Chair of MUIK.H. M. Anwar Iskandar, and the Minister of ATR/Head of BPN Nusron Wahid, who is the chairman of the committee for the "United in Prayer for National Safety" event. Nusron is currently also one of the MUI managers, namely the Head of Disaster Management.
At the Istiqlal Mosque, the inauguration of the MUI's management was also attended by a number of figures, including the 10th and 12th Vice President Jusuf Kalla.
Nusron Wahid, when delivering his report as chairman of the event committee, explained that the event at the Istiqlal Mosque this morning was attended by more than 58,000 people. "Alhamdulilah who attended from all levels, from representatives of the Indonesian Ulama Council managers throughout Jabodetabek, managers of pesantren boarding schools throughout Jabodetabek, and taklim assemblies throughout Jabodetabek, whose leaders are present in the midst of us all," said Nusron.
Then in his report, Nusron also emphasized that today's event was not just a customary greeting and ceremony, but also an event to pray together, especially in the midst of a nation that faces various tests of flash floods and landslides in a number of regions of Indonesia.
"In this condition, the Indonesian nation needs spiritual strengthening, togetherness, and social concern. The prayer of unity in the Munajat for the Safety of the Nation is a spiritual effort as well as a message of unity and empathy for our brothers and sisters who are affected by disasters," said Nusron on a separate occasion reported by ANTARA.
Tens of thousands of participants in the event have crowded the Istiqlal Mosque complex in Jakarta since 07.00 WIB. Some of them even came since dawn. The congregation at the Istiqlal Mosque wore mostly white Muslim clothing, and they occupied the main prayer room of the Istiqlal Mosque to the prayer room on the fourth and fifth floors.
