Do you know? Rais Syuriah NU Is Imprisoned By Imam Syafii and Chairman Tanfidziahnya Imam Ghazali

Shohibul madzhab Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Idris better known by the name of Imam Syafi'i was once a Rois Syuriah Nahdlatul Ulama. In fact, at the same time, Chairman Tanfidziyahnya held by Hujjatul Islam Abu Hamid Muhammad bin Muhammad, known as Imam Ghazali.

Of course, the forehead readers will all wrinkled hear the information above. How could Imam Shafi living in 767 - 820 AD, as well as Imam Ghazali living in 1058 - 1111 AD, could become the leader of the newly established Nahdlatul Ulama on January 31, 1926. Span of tens of centuries between the lifetimes of the two great Muslim scholars It's with the founding of the world's largest Muslim organization.

So, how the story of the two scholars who authored the book of Al-Umm and Ihya Ulummudin, could be a leader of NU? KHR. As'ad Syamsul Arifin replied.

Starting from the election event in 1971. At that time, Nahdlatul Ulama became a political party itself after deciding to separate from Parti Masyumi in 1953. NU became one of the major parties at that time. Of course, NU's political power posed a threat to other political forces. Especially for Golkar which is the ruling party at the time.

Golkar, supported by rulers and soldiers, justifies any means to seize votes as much as possible. In fact, they did not hesitate to use force to force NU members to vote for Golkar. This, obviously, became a major threat to the NU party. His mass base was digrogoti in such a way by his political rivals. Moreover campaign resources owned by NU is not comparable with the property of his political opponents.

Seeing such conditions, Kiai As'ad intervened. The Sitafond Syafi'iyah Situbondo, once again declared a vacuum after the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly in 1959. He who was behind the scenes, suddenly dropped directly in the campaign that was held by the NU Party of Situbondo Held in Alun-Alun.

His unannounced presence shocked the campaign committee. The golden opportunity, was not wasted. As recorded in his biography, KHR. As'ad Syamsul Arifin: Curriculum Vitae and his Struggle (1994), Kiai As'ad was immediately given the opportunity to board the podium. Not long mediator NU establishment, berorasi. No more than 15 minutes.

However, in a fairly short speech, the charismatic figure was able to convince the NU residents who attended the Situbondo Square, choosing NU as his political choice. With his distinctive style, Kiai As'ad delivered a 'heavens' he received.

"I can not get out of NU and still will cast a picture of NU," said Kiai As'ad started his oration.
Then, Kiai As'ad explained why he should stay and still choose the NU Party regardless of the challenges and the severity of the trials that must be faced.

"I chose this NU because there is a reason. I once dreamed of meeting Imam Syafi'i and Imam Ghazali. In the dream, as if Syuriah NU is Imam Shafi'i, while Tanfidziyahnya is Imam Ghazali, "he said in front of tens of thousands of NU citizens who menyemut. "Therefore, if all the sampean still follow the two Imams, ya have to cast a picture of NU," he concluded.

Suddenly, the short oration of the pithy, able to stab directly into the subconscious Nahdliyin's citizens. Imam Syafi'i is a madzab priest who is practiced by almost all NU and most of the Muslims in Indonesia. Neither is Imam Ghazali. In addition to the works into required reading in the pesantren, tasawufnya became a standard for NU citizens.

The effect was seen when the election arrived. How hard Golkar did propaganda was unable to change the dominance of the NU in the Residency of Besuki. The NU party wins absolutely by successfully taking 18 seats out of 32 seats contested by 10 contestants. Such is the political mind of NU citizens. Between the past and the present, between the living and the dead, there is no change. Same. Equally influential! (Ayung)
