Kapanlagi.com - Artist Aldi Taher always becomes the talk of netizens because he often uploads videos of himself reading the Quran on Instagram. Not only that, the former husband of Dewi Perssik once again became the hot topic of netizens because he called himself an ustaz. Aldi Taher said, there's nothing wrong with him calling himself an ustaz.
"Yes, is it wrong if I admit that I am an ustaz? So, in the name of Allah, it's not wrong for me to be an ustaz. What's wrong is if I admit that I am an ustazah. So, ustaz means educator, and I Insya Allah educate my wife and children. Is it wrong to admit that I am an ustaz? It's better to admit that I am an ustaz than to engage in vice," said Aldi Taher at Studio 41, South Jakarta, Wednesday (3/2/2021).
1. Explanation of Aldi Taher
In general, an Islamic preacher usually gives lectures about religious knowledge, goodness, and truth to the people. So what about Aldi Taher, does he also do the same thing as other preachers?
"Just check my Instagram, check my Instagram, God willing, it's da'wah. Because humans should be doing da'wah. What do we use social media for? for worship or for sin?" he said.
2. Criticism from Netizens
As an Islamic preacher, one should be proficient in religious knowledge and reading the Quran. Meanwhile, Aldi Taher himself still receives criticism from netizens because he is considered to be not fluent in reading the Quran. In fact, netizens say that there are still many mistakes in the Quranic verses read by Aldi Taher.
"In the name of Allah, if friends are just starting to learn to recite the Quran, it's not wrong if we stumble while reading the Quran. The problem is those who never read it. When it comes to stumbling, God willing, the reward is doubled, God willing. By continuously reading, God willing, it will become fluent," said Aldi Taher.
"So, this is a message from a cancer fighter, Alhamdulillah, Allah still gives a chance to recover and be healthy, so what else can we do in life, convey goodness. Indeed, we should convey even one verse," Aldi Taher concluded.
