BANYUWANGI – Banyuwangi Regent Abdullah Azwar Anas held Safari Ramadan, by watching together (nobar) Final Liga Champions 2018 between Liverpool vs Real Madrid and sahur together in Tegalsari District, Sunday (27/5/2018) Early days. Hundreds of villagers from all over joined in the event.
Anas says, deliberately held a meal together accompanied by the Champions League final, because this match attracted the attention of the world, including the Muslim archipelago. Because, the Champions league final match this time because there were Muslim players who also competed in the final.
Both at Real Madrid or at Liverpool. But the highlight is the Liverpool players, Muhammad Salah. It's not only his playing performance that shines, Salah is also a player with a personality known as a devout Muslim.
“This one is a separate phenomenon. In the midst of the negative views of western countries towards the image of Islam which was damaged by a handful of terrorism, One seems to be the cure. His good appearance on the gridiron and his personal devout worship, restore the image of Islam. That this is a religion that is rahmatan lil alamin,” said Anas.
That matter, continued Anas, should be an inspiration in preaching. You can't invite someone in a violent way, no matter how good the goal is to achieve.
“Make something useful. Surely this will be able to preach the teachings that we profess. Without the need to do any coercion,” he added.
After the final match is over, the meal together continued with compensation to the underprivileged and closed with a prayer together. Then continued with morning prayers in congregation at Baitul Muttaqin Mosque, Tegalsari.
The night before, Anas also held taraweeh with residents at the Baiturrahman Genteng Mosque, Banyuwangi.
