Fuad Nasardan, the deceased is considered a Muslim scholar who should be followed by an example.

"Mrs. Huzaemah according to her scientific capacity has made her best contribution to the campus environment and the ulama assembly. An intellectual woman who can be used as an example for the younger generation," said M. Fuad Nasar when confirmed from Jakarta, Friday, July 23.

"After Mrs. Prof. Dr. Hj. Zakiah Daradjat, the first Indonesian female cleric to complete her education in the Middle East, namely S2 and S3 at Ein Shams University, Faculty of Education Mental Hygiene Department in Cairo, Egypt, as far as I know the leading Indonesian female ulema graduates from Al Azhar Egypt are Prof. Dr. Hj. Huzaemah Tahido Yanggo," said Fuad.

According to Fuad, many of his knowledges have become references and discourses for other scholars in Indonesia. Therefore, it is not wrong to include Huzaemah as one of the examples of scholarship.

"Mrs. Huzaemah according to her scientific capacity has made her best contribution to the campus environment and the ulama assembly. An intellectual woman who can be used as an example for the younger generation," he said.
