JAKARTA - Social media activist Chusnul Chotimah joined the speech after Buya Fikri explained the video of his prayer movement during the Alumni Brotherhood (PA 212) action last Friday, March 4.

Buya Fikri apologized for making the wrong move. The coordinator of this action admitted that it was difficult for him to hear the voice of faith because he was on the command car.

"The person himself admitted he was wrong, finally canceled his prayer and apologized, begging for forgiveness," Chusnul said via a tweet on his personal Twitter @ChusnulCH_ quoted on Sunday, March 6.

Chusnul then asked those who took part in the action or who criticized the mosque Toa rules issued by the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag).

"Then you, Kadrun, who defended fiercely yesterday even accused those of us who were critical of having no religion, have repented yet? Certainly not, Kadrunkan has never felt wrong, that's why he continues to grow up," Chusnul quipped.

Buya Fikri in his clarification admitted that he was not focused because he had to guard the command car, in case of any bad things during the action. Realizing that he had made the wrong move, Buya Fikri prayed again at the mosque after the action took place.

Buya Fikri also hopes that this clarification and apology will end this commotion. He asked forgiveness from Allah SWT for this mistake.

"To Allah I ask forgiveness, to the Ummah I apologize, for causing debate. Although basically, prayer is a Muslim's personal relationship to Allah, not to be videoed and then spread so that it becomes a debate," he said.

To note, a number of community organizations held demonstrations around the Office of the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag), Central Jakarta, regarding the statement of the Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas, regarding the sound of the call to prayer and the sound of barking dogs.

Polda Metro Jaya together with the TNI and the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta deployed 2,756 joint personnel to secure the demonstration by PA 212 and several Islamic organizations at the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag) Office.
