Thousands Of Muhammadiyah Residents In Samarinda City Hold Eid Prayers At The Segiri Sports Hall

SAMARINDA - Thousands of Muhammadiyah residents of Samarinda City, East Kalimantan held the Eid al-Adha prayer in the GOR Segiri Samarinda parking lot on Wednesday morning 28 June. Ustad Machnun Uzni, Deputy Secretary of the Muhammadiyah Regional Leadership (PWM) of East Kalimantan acted as Imam at the Eid prayer, and Ustad Machnun Uzni as the head of the Eid prayer for Eid al-Adha. Ustad Machnun Uzni conveyed a number of messages of Eid al-Adha 1444 Hijriah to the congregation, namely the example of Prophet Ibrahim AS and his family. The message includes how to build family resilience, loyalty, struggle and sacrifice that eventually grew in the family. "Ismail is an example of resilience that gives birth to generations that will inspire us all," said Machnun Uzni in his sermon. He explained that the example of Prophet Ibrahim and his family as well as the series of hajj services commemorated with each Eid al-Adha is a spirit of togetherness.

The example of Prophet Ibrahim is an illustration of a pious family that prioritizes Allah's commands rather than anything else. My father and son help each other and give support to carry out Allah's commands. A beautiful dialogue between the two is recorded in the Qur'an as told by Allah SWT: "O my son, in fact I see in the dream that I slaughter you, then give me a blessing. Ismail replied: O my father, do what is ordered to you. God willing, you will find me to be one of the patient people." (QS As-Saffat: 102). From this story, we can see how we are all going to the same point, namely obedience and piety to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. In addition, the slaughter of the sacrificial animals that will come also contains values of how we build social generosity and share with fellow humans. "There is universality in this life and the message contained in the sacrifice," he explained. He also said that the slaughter of sacrificial animals will be carried out based on instructions from Muhammadiyah's central leadership, namely on Thursday (29 June 2023). According to him, this is part of the tolerance between religious communities, especially Muslims both from Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU). "The central leadership suggests to all of us to be part of this tolerance, considering that some people are still carrying out Eid al-Adha activities tomorrow. Therefore, we are advised to start the slaughter of sacrificial animals starting Thursday or tomorrow so that we can fully celebrate this syiar. It is known that Muhammadiyah citizens carry out the Eid al-Adha 1444 hijriah holiday simultaneously throughout Indonesia on Wednesday 28 June or to initiate the Government's decision which has set the Eid al-Ad al-Ad al-Adha Day on Thursday 29 June 2023. In Samarinda City the implementation of Eid al-Adha Muhammadiyah residents is also carried out at 14 other points in the PWM Da'd da'wah Mosque (Jl. Siradj Salman) page, GOR Kadine Oening Semjakhatib, underlying UMKT Park (Jl. Ir. H. Juanda) and Muhammadiyah Loaung College Complex Field.
