In order to establish friendship, the University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) invited media crews and held a recitation before sunset and broke the fast together on Tuesday (19/4). It is not only presenting Islamic studies before breaking fast, but the guests are also treated to interesting meals and beautiful views from the Rooftop Rayz Hotel.
Dr. Nurbani Yusuf, M.Si, who was appointed as a speaker, reminded the importance of honesty in carrying out work, especially for journalists and journalists. According to him, work that intersects with the media has its own challenges, and it can even be compared to being between heaven and hell. What could be part of backbiting or to be a part of slander.
Some of the stories of friends and Sufis relate to the dissemination of information conveyed by Nurbani, his nickname. One of them is a story about a qodhi named Nasruddin. He has committed a lot of corruption in Baghdad until he has to resign. Interestingly, two years after his leave, Nasruddin was declared clean and innocent.
“Then someone who previously exposed his corruption felt guilty and took the initiative to apologize. Nasruddin said that he would certainly forgive him but on one condition. He asked that person to bring him a sack of flour the next day,” said the UMM Lecturer.
Furthermore, the awaited day arrived accompanied by a reasonably strong wind. Then Nasruddin asked the man to lift him and lift him into the sky so that the wind could carry him. And so on until one sack of flour was drained out. Then Nasruddin said, "I will forgive your mistake, as long as you can clean the flour that has been blown by the wind."
“From this, we can see that spreading information that doesn't truth has consequences. If the sin of shirk is only to Allah, not by gossiping or slandering, one must ask for forgiveness and forgiveness from others. So we need to be careful in order to be able to carry out work as a journalist,” said Pria who is also the Director of Agropolitan TV (ATV).
Meanwhile, Secretary of the Daily Development Board (BPH) UMM Drs. Wakidi hopes that the cooperation that has been built can be carried out in various steps. So that the goals of each can be achieved properly. Likewise, Indonesia's progress is certainly expected by all parties.
Ir. Suyatno, M.Si. as the Head of Information and Communication Bureau of UMM. He said that breaking the fast with the media is one of the routine agendas that the White Campus always does. According to him, both parties need each other. Moreover, media is also one of the important aspects in UMM's long journey.
"Hopefully, we can all continue to work together and establish a closer relationship. Giving the best in their respective fields and helping each other," added Suyatno. (wil)
