The charismatic cleric from Jogjakarta, KH Ahmad Muwafiq, believes that Mbah Hisyam Kalijaran's struggle in advancing Indonesia will not be extinguished. The fire of the struggle will continue to burn, because it will be continued by his descendants. One of them is the grandson of Mantu Mbah Hisyam Kalijaran who will also be a presidential candidate (readpres) 2024, Ganjar Pranowo.

"Mas Ganjar is the grandson of Mantu Mbah Hisyam Kalijaran. Surely Mas Ganjar will follow the style of Ms. Hisyam in fighting in the community," said Gus Muwafiq while filling the Haul Mbah Hisyam Kalijaran event at the Roudlotusshiolichin Islamic Boarding School Sholichat Kalijaran Purbalingga, Monday, October 30.

The figure of Mbah Hisyam, continued Gus Muwafiq, must have had a lot of influence in the footsteps of a Ganjar's steps. So it's not surprising that during his time as Governor of Central Java, Ganjar was very close to scholars and Islamic boarding schools.

"Yes, everything will definitely follow in the footsteps of its predecessors. Because it is impossible for the predecessors to leave something without any traces. And people now like Mas Ganjar will definitely follow," he explained.

Gus Muwafiq also said that the people of Central Java, especially Purbalingga, should be grateful. Because one of Mbah Hisyam Kalijaran's extended families is running for president in 2024.

"Sampeyan bejo (father of luck) has a big family who are ready to become president. Because not just anyone can become president. So let's pray for him, I hope Mr. Ganjar becomes the president of all of us. Alfatihah," concluded Gus Muwafiq.

Thousands of residents of Purbalingga and its surroundings gathered at the Roudlotus Sholichin Sholichat Islamic Boarding School (Ponpes Kalijaran) complex, Monday (30/10/2023). enthusiastically, they followed the 35th anniversary of Kyai Hisyam Abdul Karim Kalijaran.

Since noon, dozens of people have come from all over the area to the Islamic Boarding School owned by Siti Atikoh Supriyanti's family, the wife of the 2024 Presidential Candidate, Ganjar Pranowo. Siti Atikoh is the grandson of Mbah Hisyam Kalijaran who is known as a charismatic cleric from Central Java.

This year's haul Mbah Hisyam event was so lively. In addition to presenting Gus Muwafiq as a lecturer, the haul was also attended directly by the 2024 presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo. This is what makes the haul pilgrims boom.

They come from various regions such as Banyumas, Banjarnegara, Brebes, Tegal, Cilacap and others. Some even come from Jakarta, East Java to Sumatra.

The community is willing to heat up in the hot sun to take part in the Haul Mbah Hisyam event. Even in the afternoon, it rained quite heavily. However, people are reluctant to leave the location, residents are willing to wait to meet the grandson of Mbah Hisyam, Ganjar Pranowo.
