EN.MUHAMMADIYAH.OR.ID, YOGYAKARTA – Muhammadiyah’s 114th anniversary marks an important opportunity to strengthen its commitment to upholding the pure teachings of Islam, based on the Qur’an and Sunnah, in pursuit of a progressive Islamic society.
Dudung Abdurrahman, Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs, made the statement in his congratulatory message for Muhammadiyah’s 114th anniversary, received on Thursday (12/11).
In line with the anniversary theme, Together, Unite the Nation, Dudung expressed hope that Muhammadiyah would remain steadfast in carrying out its mission of amar ma’ruf nahi munkar (promoting good and preventing evil), free from tahayul (superstition), bid’ah (religious innovations), and khurafat (mythical beliefs). He also hoped the organization would continue strengthening its role in fostering national unity and cohesion.
Dudung also highlighted Muhammadiyah’s contributions through its network of charitable and service institutions, known as Amal Usaha Muhammadiyah (AUM). With institutions operating across various sectors, including education, healthcare, and social services, he expressed hope that Muhammadiyah would continue making tangible contributions to public welfare and the common good of Indonesian society and the nation.
“Continue progressing together, strengthening national unity, and building an Indonesia that is safe, peaceful, and prosperous, grounded in religious and national values,” he said. (Bhisma)
