Jakarta, NU Online
American cleric, Sheikh Bilal Hallak conveyed the Palestinian al-Aqsa Mosque has an extraordinary history for Muslims.
He says if the stones around the al-Aqsa Mosque can speak, they might say, "This is where the prophet is gathered."
So also if the mountains can say, they will say "How many prophets are buried in this place."
"That is the al-Aqsa Mosque, the second mosque built by Prophet Adam after the Grand Mosque," he said at the Multaqo ad-Duat al-Alami event organized by the Nahdlatul Ulama Board of Propagation Institution (LD PBNU) at PBNU Building, Central Jakarta, Monday /1 night.
In the crowded forum, he asks all parties to work together, help each other, work hand in hand to free Palestine from oppression and occupation.
"That's what we want from all Muslims that we want al-Aqsa Mosque is for Palestine, not for others," he explained.
Likewise, if in Indonesia there are people who do oppression, he continued, then we must work hand in hand to spread a moderate aqidah.
"Aqeedah is taught by salafus Salihus scholars, scholars who spread aqidah in Indonesia," he said.
Present at this forum Chairman of NU KH Abdul Manan Ghani, Rais Syuriyah PBNU KH Ahmad Ishomuddin, Katib 'Aam PBNU KH Yahya Cholil Tsaquf, etua General LD PBNU KH Maman Imanul Haq, Secretary LD PBNU KH Bukhori Muslim.
