Gus Miftah's Striking Message about Intolerance, Touching on National Identity and Heritage for Future Generations

The surge of intolerance cases in various regions lately has raised concern from many parties, including the famous preacher Miftah Maulana Habiburrahman, commonly known as Gus Miftah. According to him, this issue has shifted from merely a religious matter to a deeper humanitarian crisis.

Furthermore, Gus Miftah highlighted the long-term dangers of this phenomenon. He is concerned that if hatred continues to be allowed to grow, it will become a dark legacy passed down to future generations, damaging the social order that has been painstakingly built. "We must not pass on hatred to our children and grandchildren," he emphasized.

Therefore, he invites all elements of society to pass on the values of peace once again. According to him, peace is the most valuable legacy that must be preserved for the future of the Indonesian nation. "What we need to pass on is peace, not hatred," he added.

Gus Miftah also reminded us about the true identity of the nation, which is Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. This motto is not just a slogan, but the main foundation that teaches how to live side by side amidst differences.
