PALEMBANG - Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto spoke at the opening of the XVI Fatayat NU congress at Jakabaring Sport City (JSC) Palembang, South Sumatra. Prabowo talked about the reasons for his proximity to soldiers and kiai.
Prabowo said that he, as a former TNI soldier, had a close relationship with the NU kiai.
“Soldiers must be close to the kiai because if they want war, they must look for the kiai. So as soon as we get news that we are leaving for the operation, we will definitely be given permission to meet the kiai," Prabowo said in his remarks quoted from a written statement, Friday, July 15.
"And other religions too. Facing the priest, for example," he continued.
Prabowo explained that the reason soldiers are close to the kiai is because soldiers often face death in their duties
"Why? Because we are ready to die. So we asked the kyai to teach us a lesson. We ask for prayers and other things. This strengthens our faith and makes us ready to face death,” he explained.
The Minister of Defense said that one should not hesitate in stepping and making sacrifices with faith in God Almighty.
"If we make sacrifices in a way that is pleasing to Allah, there is no need to hesitate, because that's why we are close to the ulama," Prabowo said.
