Chairman of IKAPETE Jombang Branch, Ustadz Abdul Malik, said that the implementation of istighosah was inspired by Gus Ipang’s writings which invited NU members to show their love for the organization through prayer.
“Our gathering here departs from Gus Ipang’s writing that love for NU does not have to come with applause but with praying for NU to be well led by shady people, people who are trusted people who can take NU better in the future,” he said.
He added that this spirit was also based on the values contained in the Nahdlatul Ulama Constitution.
“By referring to the Constitution. I think that is the main aim of this istighosah,” he added.

According to Ustadz Malik, this istighosah activity will be carried out istiqamah until the 35th NU Congress is held as a form of inner effort to pray for the organization to remain a protector of the people.
“So when we come together, we must make as much effort as possible to pray that the Nahdlatul Ulama organization can truly be the protector of the people. And NU will continue to be the guide of the people in any situation. Especially ahead of the upcoming congress. Hopefully we can hold fast until the Congress is over,” explained the Tebuireng teacher.
He hopes that the prayers offered together can be part of efforts to maintain the continuity of NU’s struggle amidst the various challenges it faces.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
