Before I left Surabaya, on Wednesday I made a pilgrimage to Hoofdbestuur, this is the first office of Pengurus Besar Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) as it was founded on 31st January 1926 (16 Rajab 1344 AH) through a meeting of ulama chaired by Shaykh KH Hasyim Asy'ari ق.
I prayed for Allah ﷻ, to bless, protect, and expand Nahdlatul Ulama to all nations of the world. That Nahdlatul Ulama will continue to stay strong on the ways of the Wali Songo until the Day of Reckoning.
May Allah ﷻ protect and bless KH Yahya Cholil Staquf and my brother kyais in the vital work they are doing for Islam and humanity.
May Allah ﷻ send his most powerful angels, and the souls of Rasulullah ﷺ and the Awliya Allah to bless and support them at all times, as long as they stay on this course of Islam moderasi, Humanitarian Islam, and Islam Rahmatan-lil-Alamin.
Allahumma salli ala sayyidina Muhammadin wa ala ali sayyidina Muhammadin wa barik wa sallim.
