Indonesian Muballighin Council Holds Social Action in Response to Rising Food Prices
Translated from Indonesian, summarized and contextualized by DistantNews.
TLDR
- The Indonesian Muballighin Council (MMI) launched a nationwide social action program to address rising food prices.
- MMI Chairman KH Mujib Khudori directed all regional and central leadership to distribute aid to affected communities.
- The initiative also includes calls for national unity and support for President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka's administration.
In response to the global economic turmoil impacting daily life, particularly the surge in essential food prices, the Majelis Muballighin Indonesia (MMI) has initiated a significant solidarity movement across the archipelago. This nationwide charitable drive aims to alleviate the burden on communities struggling with the escalating cost of living.
I am mobilizing all officials, both central, regional, and local officials, to carry out social activities to share with the surrounding community.
KH Mujib Khudori, the MMI's Chairman, has mobilized the organization's extensive network, urging all central, regional, and local boards to actively participate in sharing resources with those most affected. This emphasis on community support and mutual aid is deeply rooted in Islamic teachings, reflecting a commitment to social welfare and compassion.
There is no good in most of their secret talks, except (in that of) him who orders charity, or kindness, or reconciliation between people. And whoever does that, seeking means to the contentment of Allah, We will give him a great reward.
Beyond immediate relief efforts, the MMI is also actively promoting national stability and governance. The organization has called upon its members and the wider public to uphold national unity and lend their support to the current administration led by President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka. This dual focus on social welfare and political stability highlights the MMI's role as a significant socio-religious organization within Indonesia, contributing to both the well-being of its citizens and the integrity of the nation.
I instruct all officials to maintain national unity and urge the public to protect and oversee the leadership of President Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka until the end of their term.
