The independence of Indonesia which is celebrated for the 75th time this year is a blessing and a blessing from Allah SWT. For that, the Indonesian people should be grateful for the blessings he has given.
“Allah’s decree does not just come down, but there is a persistent struggle for the nation’s fighters,” said Ma’ruf Amin in his sermon.
The fighting spirit possessed by the fighters and founders of this nation should not be forgotten. With this fighting spirit, the founders of the nation were able to lay the foundations of the state which we currently use as the nation’s guidelines.

In addition, in the midst of the current pandemic, Ma’ruf Amin also advised the Indonesian people to maintain harmony and unity. The Indonesian people must believe that whenever there is difficulty, there is an ease that will be shown by Him.
“We believe that Covid-19 is a test and trial from God to the Indonesian nation and other nations in the world. We are sure that Covid-19 will, God willing, pass,” he said.
