PAN, defending Prabowo: Indonesian President has Never Been Prayers in Public Prayers
Topik id . Jakarta - Deputy Chairman of the PAN Honorary Council, Dradjad Wibowo, said that there was nothing wrong with the recognition of presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto who felt he was not fit to be the imam of the prayer. Why? "Mas Bowo's words are correct. It is in accordance with the rules of the congregational prayer, where the priest is the higher knowledge of the Qur'an and the hadith," Dradjad told reporters on Wednesday (12/19/2018). Regarding Prabowo's confession, he felt it was inappropriate to become a priest, delivered during a speech at the Gerindra National Conference in Sentul, Bogor, Monday (17/12). He said he did not deserve to be the imam of the prayer because he knew enough. Dradjad claimed to be present at the event and heard Prabowo's statement directly. He also mentioned that almost no Indonesian President had become a priest in public prayer. According to Dradjad, being a priest is not based on one's position.
