South Lampung Regent Radityo Egi Pratama urged residents to make the example of Prophet Muhammad a guide for daily life, especially in accepting differences and strengthening cooperation.

The Maulid Nabi event should not be merely ceremonial. It must carry a meaningful message.

— Radityo Egi PratamaThe South Lampung regent said the religious commemoration should produce lessons for community life.

He delivered the message at a Maulid Nabi 1448 Hijriah commemoration at Riyadlul Muttaqin Mosque in Bumi Daya village, Palas district. Egi said the event should not become merely an annual ceremony, but should convey lessons that people can apply to life in their communities.

He highlighted the importance of understanding one’s own strengths and potential while accepting the strengths and shortcomings of others. People have different characters, abilities and potential, he said, and those differences should not become a reason for comparison. “We must know our strengths and accept other people’s strengths. We cannot make everyone the same,” Egi said.

We must know our strengths and accept other people’s strengths. We cannot make everyone the same.

— Radityo Egi PratamaHe urged residents to understand their own abilities and accept differences among people.

The regent said mutual acceptance could help create a harmonious society because people who understand their differences can complement one another and work toward shared goals. He also encouraged residents to balance prayer with effort, saying hopes should be followed by practical work. Caring for orphans and supporting the construction of houses of worship were among the ways he said residents could put the Prophet’s example into practice.

Human beings are created differently. Once we know ourselves and accept others, we can work together.

— Radityo Egi PratamaEgi linked acceptance of differences with cooperation and social harmony.

Egi called for continued community solidarity and mutual respect as residents worked to develop South Lampung and improve public welfare. He said the local government would carry out its programs step by step, based on available resources and development priorities. “If something has not yet been realized, we apologize. We will realize it gradually. Step by step, we will fulfill it,” he said.

If something has not yet been realized, we apologize. We will realize it gradually. Step by step, we will fulfill it.
