SEMARANG, MUHAMMADIYAH.OR.ID – Government and Muhammadiyah synergized to promote Negara Pancasila sebagai Darul ‘Ahdi Wasy Syahadah (DAWS – the Pancasila State as Darul ‘Ahdi Wasy Syahadah) on Saturday (27/7). Raising a theme of the Pancasila State as Darul ‘Ahdi Wasy Syahadah for Muhammadiyah preachers, the campaign was conducted at Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang.
Participated by Muhammadiyah preachers across Jawa Tengah, the campaign was officially opened by Vice Rector of Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang Samsudi Rahardjo.
Secretary of Office of Special Dakwah of Muhammadiyah Faozan Amar informed that the campaign was a follow up of Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Office of the Coordinating Human Development and Culture Ministry (Kemenko PMK) and Muhammadiyah.
Since 2018, the DAWS has been conducted 13 times of 14 planned campaigns. The DAWS held at Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang was expected to be a reference for Muhmmadiyah preachers to disseminate dakwah.
General Secretary of the Central Board of Muhammadiyah Abdul Mu’ti thanked Kemenko PMK, particularly the Office of the Coordinating Human Development and Culture Minister Puan Maharani for the collaboration.
A theme of the 47th Muhammadiyah Congress 2015, according to Mu’ti, emphasized that Muhammadiyah is indivisible from history of Indonesia. “Many Muhammadiyah figures contributed to the history of Indonesia as Ki Bagus Hadikusumo, Kasman Singodimejo, Abdul Kahar Muzakir, the first President of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno, and Fatmawati who was also a cadre of Aisyiyah and Nasyiatul Aisyiyah,” mentioned Mu’ti.
“Indeed, in a history of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), the First Commander of the Indonesian Armed Forces Soedirman was a cadre of Hizbul Wathon,” he added.
Besides, Muhammadiyah should give contribution to the future of the Republic of Indonesia. For Muhmmadiyah, the State of Pancasila is not only ideal and Islamic but also darul ahdi wasy syahadah.
Thus, Muhammadiyah has to play participative roles and undertake actions in accordance with Al-Qur’an, hadith, and Muhammadiyah identity to embody Indonesia which is baldatun thoyyibatun wa robbun ghafur.
