Moment of independence, what is the commitment of Muslims to Indonesia?

Sermon by: Dr. KH. Musta’in Syafii

Praise to be God, praise him, and seek forgiveness, and seek forgiveness, and we will be forgiven by God from the evil of our souls, and God’s goodness is the best of God. This is misleading, so there is no guidance for him to testify that there is no God but God, and I testify that Muhammad is his servant and his messenger, may God give him up and give him the peace of a great big sequence

Fear of God, what you can.

And humans, with his mother, are a good man, whose mother is done by his hatred, and puts it in his hatred, and his lament, and his father’s separation. And after four years, God said: “He will be given to me to thank you, your blessing that you have been blessed with me and my father, and I do my truth, and I will be blessed. I will see you, and I am one of the Muslims (Al -Hqaf: 15).

Authela, who are those who receive it, are the best of what they have done, and we will stay away from their sins in their correction

Continuing the concept of the Qur’an about its guidance for people who are 40 years old. And the discussion of Kutbah this time is the 54th series. There are six guidelines for those who are 40 years old. In this case we will discuss the third guide, namely وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ (hopefully my deeds are blessed by Allah). Namely a way to download the sky site so that our deeds are blessed by God. This verse shows the good deeds of God. So that the good deeds are divided into; blessed and not blessed.

Seeing the data submitted by the World Population Review, that in 2025 the population of the earth was 8.16 billion. At the same time the growth of Muslims has reached 2 billion. The achievement of the number of Muslims in Indonesia when independence is around 95%. While in 1965 it dropped to 90%. The decline occurred again in the New Order era which became 87%. Lately it has risen to 87.1%.

The data can be the source of the question why the quantity of Muslims has decreased? Is it possible because the role of ulama ‘now does not have a patriotic soul like the ulama’ ancient times? Based on personal analysis, that the commitment of scholars’ at this time to Islam is still low. His commitment was built for things that are tolerant, all of them relented. But lacks maintaining principles.

Take a look at the movement Hadratussyikh KH. M. Hasyim Asy’ari. He did not see anyone in the social field, his view was humanity. As it is, the only kiai who donates land for the market-not for mosques, pesantren, or other institutions-is him. However, when it comes to theology and the principle he holds fast. Why did the pesantren be forbidden to wear pants? The reason is that wearing the pants Tasyabbuh (resemble) people who do not believe.

This is solely not a matter of pants, but it is useful to foster an attitude of patriotism. So then when his own son KH. Wahid Hasyim founded Nizamiyyah In 1935, until he was appointed Minister of Religion, and dressed with pants, suits, and ties, Kiai Hasyim was silent without comments. Because he knows it is a development.

I want to re -play the history of the establishment of this country. That the establishment of this nation is composed of a good composition of cooperation between fighters in the community through the religion represented by Hadratussyikh Together with other ‘scholars, then in the nationalist there was Sukarno, plus the Arabian conglomerate named Shaykh Farodj Ibn Said Ibn Awadh Ibn Martak. I don’t want to talk about the descendants of the Prophet, Genetic, DNA tests and others. Arabs are the owners of East Pegangsaan Houses in Jakarta who are represented for the proclamation of the independence of this country.

Then it can be understood that the independence of the Indonesian people is not only fought for by natives. They are non-native who have been bleeding with meat with this country also contributed. There was an Arab descendant named, Sayyid Hussein Al-Mutohhar. He is a composer of the song Syukur, Merdeka Day, including the Scout Hymn, he is also the compiler of the flag -raising event (Paskibraka). May their deeds be accepted by Allah, without discriminating their races.

On the other hand, when Sukarno was arrested by young people on Wednesday and urged him to immediately proclaim independence, because international news informed Korean independence. However, Sukarno still asked opinions from Hadratussyaikh. And Kiai Hasyim chose the day after tomorrow, Friday. That is the greatness of a santri. Every step is not only based on rational actions, but at the same time a suprarational act. I remember when boarding in Tebuireng in the 70s. The recitation at this cottage is always opened on Wednesday or Sunday. Because this follows the Prophet’s curriculum. Because the Prophet mostly started the assembly on Wednesday. Models like this are sometimes not easily digested rationally.

Let us see now the world president Hafidz al-quur’an How many? First in Egypt there was a president named Muhammad Mursi, the second Türkiye Tayyep Erdogan, Maldives, there was a president named Ibrahim Salih. Therefore this sermon is to arouse a Muslim militancy. What is the commitment of Santri’s independence in this moment of independence? Is it sluggish? Do Muslims still continue to allow or tolerate many things?

May God bless you and you in the Great Qur’an

And we benefit me and you with what is in it from the verses and memories of the rules,

And you accept from me, and you are the reading, because he is a high paradise. I say that this is a great forgiveness of God for me and for you, so forgive him, because he is a forgiveness
