REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Muslimat Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) has an important role in strengthening ahlus sunnah wal jama'ah (Aswaja), a moderate theology in Islam, Chairperson of the Organizing Committee of the 73rd anniversary of Muslimat NU Yenny Wahid said. Yenny remarked that strengthening Aswaja is strengthening the nation and even the world.
As the first school for families, Muslimat, Muslim women, become educators who should teach their children based on the values of Islam that are tolerant, moderate, and righteous, Yenny said. "And the result will be Islam that is Rahmatan lil-alamin (a mercy to all creation)," she said on Sunday.
She said that Muslimat NU prayed for the safety of the nation and state. She also appreciated the sincerity of Muslim women who participated in the celebration of the anniversary of Muslimat NU as they brought a simple eagerness to respect the nation.
In the morning, the rain fell for hours at the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) sports complex Central Jakarta. However, Muslimat NU still participated in the anniversary solemnly.
Muslimat NU is one of the women's wings of the country's largest Muslim organization, Nahdlatul Ulama.
