The Indonesia Barokah Tabloid, which is becoming a public conversation, finally managed to awaken my curiosity about the contents of the tabloid. I have now read all the pages and articles in the Indonesia Barokah Tabloid. After analyzing the contents, I concluded that what was reported by the media and discussed by the public about the black campaign and overthrowing Paslon 02 was very untrue. The contents are purely facts that are associated with the values and teachings of the Islamic religion.
On the first page is the title of the Indonesia Barokah tabloid with the inscription “Grounding Islam Rahmatan Lil Alamin”. From this it can be seen that the title has an aura of peace not hatred, and is real in the teachings of Islam. Next is the title of the first article entitled “Reunion 212, Interests of Political People or Interests?” The contents of the article are on page 4.
Reunion article 212 is indeed quite interesting to discuss, even the general public who sympathize more than the participants of the Reunion 212. In the article Ustadz Farhan Abu Furaihan said “The Messenger of Allah has won a lot in jihad, has he ever made a reunion? Did the Prophet make the reunion of the Battle of Uhud, the reunion of the Battle of Badr, the reunion of the Hunain war, the reunion of the Hajj Wada ‘and the reunion of the Qur’anic verses which ordered the perfection of religion? Nothing. “So, what is Reunion 212 for? Though many times the Prophet won the Jihad war, but he never held a reunion. Or perhaps according to its title, Reunion 212 is not the interests of the people but rather political interests.
From the 16 pages of the Barokah tabloid there is a preamble to the explanation of the Tagline “Grounding Islam Rahmatan Lil Alamin”. The tagline provides additional knowledge to the community that Islam is a religion that is Rahmatan Lil Alamin, full of love and tenderness and far from violence and radicalism. So that with this understanding and application then Indonesia makes a blessing. Indonesia which is full of blessings is the goal of every human being who lives within the territory of Indonesia. There is not even a sentence that makes the reader hate the particular group.
The Indonesia Barokah Tabloid is very inversely proportional to the People’s Torch Tabloid. In the People’s Torch Tabloid, to look for a real writing based on facts, it is difficult to find a needle in a stack of hay. But the contents of the Indonesia Barokah Tabloid are just the opposite. Looking for news that contains hatred and hoaxes, it is also difficult to find a needle stacked with hay. Because Barokah Indonesia is like a collection of news reported by mainstream media that really happened real. So how, is there still a hoax that says the Indonesian Tabloid Hoax contains a black campaign?
Then, about 10 Islamic leaders who were crowned National Heroes in the Jokowi era, about Prabowo being angry and the media divided, practices lying to the public for political interests, about the People’s Torch which slandered the PKI Jokowi and foreign henchmen, until the law left prayer and challenges for Prabowo to being an Imam of prayer, all of them have no hoaxes. Maybe Prabowo was scared and accused the Indonesia Barokah Tabloid of spreading a black campaign. But all the contents of the Indonesia Barokah Tabloid are in accordance with the facts and according to journalistic rules. The proof is the Press Council does not question.
If Amien Rais talks about moral revolution, religion is the main foundation of moral development. Mosques and Islamic boarding schools are places where religious knowledge can be drawn. That’s why the Indonesia Barokah tabloid was sent to mosques and pesantren. Isn’t Prabowo-Password advancing in the 2019 Presidential Election contestation because it is also supported by scholars? This is the basis for me to say that the Indonesia Barokah tabloid has succeeded in placing the BPN Prabowo-Sandi in one Jeopardy or in Indonesian terms it is a simalakama fruit.
Prabowo-Sandi BPN filed an objection to the contents of Indonesia Barokah’s news because they directly or indirectly felt they had been stripped naked. On the other hand, there is no reason for Prabowo-Sandi BPN to deny that Islam is a religion that Rahmatan Lil Alamin and from Indonesia Barokah does not contain the slightest utterance of hatred. There is no element of campaign in the Tabloid, let alone accusing it of being a black campaign. There are no hoaxes being distributed, because actually the real spreader hoax is Prabowo and his team.
