Chairman of the General Assembly of the Alumni Association of the Nahdlatul Ulama Students (IPNU) Prof KH Asrorun Ni'am Sholeh reminded that Nahdlatul Ulama must always maintain unity in facing various organizational dynamics and differences of opinion.
According to Ni'am, commitment to unity is one of the basic values that are the foundation of NU's jama'iyyah, as stated in the introduction to the Basic Law formulated by KH Hasyim Asy'ari.
"Therefore, we need to return to the Basic Law as a foothold for organizing. The commitment in the future must build awareness back to the basic principles of organization, unity and unity to optimize services," he said in Jakarta, Antara, Monday, April 13.
The message was conveyed in his remarks at the Halalbihalal Majelis Alumni Ikatan Pelajar Nahdlatul Ulama (MA IPNU) event held in Jakarta, Sunday evening, April 12.
Ni'am emphasized that the spirit of togetherness in the NU body must continue to be maintained so that it is not easily divided by differences in orientation, both in religious and political aspects.
According to him, as long as the management and congregation understand the Basic Law in its entirety, there should not be any conflict that leads to prolonged division.
"If NU leaders and members fully understand the Basic Law and make it a foothold, then there will certainly be no conflict leading to prolonged division or syiqaq," he said.
He also reminded that when there are differences of opinion, the other party should be present as a mediator and peacemaker, not to complicate the atmosphere.
"The NU Muktamar in the future must be a path to unity and togetherness, by placing the norms that exist in the Muqaddimah of the Basic Law as a foothold," he said.
In addition, the Head of the MUI's Fatwa Department emphasized the importance of brotherhood as the main adhesive of brotherhood in the midst of differences.
According to him, Halalbihalal is not just a ceremonial tradition, but a momentum to connect hearts to maintain mutual relations.
Ni'am reminded that differences in choice, affiliation, and views are normal in organized life.
However, through meetings and silaturahim, at least understanding can be built, even though it is not necessarily immediately resulting in an agreement.
"Differences in choices, affiliations, and views are inevitable. However, by meeting and greeting, at least we can build understanding," he said.
He concluded by emphasizing that all elements of Nahdlatul Ulama must remain committed to the basic principles of the legacy of the founders, especially the commitment to unity and brotherhood.
