Kata MUI Regarding Zulkifli Hasan Linking Prayer Readings with the Choice of Presidential Candidates 2024

"Dream - The Chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zulkifli Hasan, has sparked controversy for making jokes about the recitation and movements of prayer while delivering a speech at the National Working Meeting (Rakernas) of the All-Indonesian Market Traders Association (APPSI). This moment began when Zulhas gave his speech and mentioned the recitation of Al-Fatihah and the movements of prayer."

"It is like this for the final tahiyat (Zulhas shows one index finger). Now many do it like this (two fingers), Sir. Many do it like this. It’s so, what is it? Yes, Sir Kiai, yes,"

The translation of "Kata Zulkifli Hasan." to English is "Said Zulkifli Hasan."

MUI's Statement Regarding Zulkifli Hasan Linking Prayer Readings to the 2024 Presidential Candidate Choices

"Zulhas's statement went viral on social media, prompting the Vice Chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) KH Marsudi Syuhud to comment."

"Recently, there has been a lot of buzz on social media about the news regarding PAN Chairman Zulkifli Hassan whose statements have become widely discussed on social media. In fact, if I observe it, what started as a joke has turned into a commotion."

Marsudi Syuhud's words quoted from the press release, Saturday, December 23, 2023.

"According to him, Zulhas's statement, which is currently trending on social media, is not intended to blaspheme religion. Because this joke has also been made by several figures and scholars such as Ustaz Abdul Somad, Ustad Adi Hidayat, and Anies Baswedan. "So actually this kind of banter (joke) has been around from UAS, UAH, Anies," he said."

"Kiai Marsudi believes that the figures and scholars do not have the intention to insult their own religion through the statements they made. 'Is it possible that prominent figures like UAS, UAH, Anies, and Zulhas, who also have a background as devout Muslims, would insult religion, demean religion, or even belittle a school of thought? In this context, if we truly understand, everything depends on the intention. A statement depends on the intention of the one who utters it,' said Marsudi."

"Therefore, Marsudi invites Muslims to remind each other not to make religion a political issue. Especially as a weapon to attack or undermine those who are not liked."

"We hope that community leaders, religious leaders, including party leaders and supporters of each candidate will continue to prioritize noble character in delivering their messages. For the supporting campaigners, when conveying that message, they must be adept at choosing the right words, even if it is difficult."

The translation of "tuturnya." to English is "his/her speech."
