JAKARTA - Gus Dur's daughter, Alissa Wahid, remembers the figure of Buya Ahmad Syafii Maarif who recently passed away in Yogyakarta. For Alissa, Buya is a figure that her father greatly admires.
"Buya is a very respected figure #GusDur. And Buya once said the relationship between the two of them helped Buya to be more flexible in seeing about nation & religion," wrote Alissa on her Twitter account, Friday, May 27.
Alissa firmly said that Buya was a person with a clean heart with a clear conscience. What Buya did during his life, all for the sake of the people and the nation.
Alissa admitted that she often had discussions with Buya. Especially every time Alissa is confused about the condition of the nation.
"Every time I feel stuck in the face of the nation's conditions, I land asking for advice from Buya Maarif," he continued.
"Buya Maarif's modesty is an inspiration to me. He makes me not dare to feel like a big character. Because of Buya, I prefer to take an economy class plane, except during the pandemic because of prokes reasons," he said.
Buya Ahmad Syafii Maarif, former chairman of PP Muhammadiyah, died at 10.15 WIB.
