"I am grateful that this film can finally be completed as well. Because of course making this film is not easy. As ulama, Penyair, a figure who has a lot of expertise, Buya Hamka is also a national figure, so it is not strange if at the time of making it we will be haunted by shortcomings, afraid that something is lacking in this film," said Lukman Hakim Saifuddin.

"Therefore, I declare mandatory, not only for Muslims, but for other religious people, to watch this film. Because here we can audit Buya Hamka as our national figure," he continued.

"Initially this film did come from Mr. Samsudin. Alhamdulillah, if indeed this film can be a reference for friends to study our national figures and scholars. I think it is suitable because this film has started to script it through extraordinary qualitati, ranging from national figures, as well as from religious experts. After the film is out, it has gone through control from historical people. I think it can be used as one of the learning materials outside the school, complementary material about national matters, "said Vino G Bastian.
