KH Rachmat Syafei added, the aim of the Prophet’s Birthday is to take wisdom and the queen the example of the life of the Prophet Muhammad SAW as the bearer of the message of Islam. “Do not let, he said, under the pretext of the Prophet’s Birthday contained political agendas that could divide the unity and integrity of the nation. “West Java MUI should be worried if there is politicization in commemoration of the great Birth of the Prophet,” he said.
Regarding 212 reunion, West Java MUI conveyed five points of appeal to the people of West Java, namely: first, Muslims are encouraged to celebrate the Prophet’s Birthday with sincere intention. Second, the celebration of the Prophet’s Birthday should be filled through positive activities that are felt directly by the community benefits such as recitation, tausiah, religious lectures for the benefit of society in general. Third, the celebration of the birthday of the Prophet should not be confused with activities that can disturb public order, disrupt the smooth flow of traffic, let alone cause conflict in the community. Fourth, to the preachers, preachers, preachers, who are the speakers in the activities of the Birth of the Prophet, should deliver materials that are soothing, reconciling, strengthening the unity and integrity of the nation that can encourage the establishment of ukhuwah islamiyah, ukhuwah insaniah, and ukhuwah wathoniyah.
