It is in Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta. The group is Majelis Rasulullah and the leader that you saw at the video has already been passed away last year, I forget his name. He still has our prophet blood similar as you are.
It is NU people, more traditional group. I rather join Muhammadiyah, the second largest Islamic organization where we are considered as modernist here in Indonesia. I learn Sufism from books though, not any sheiks.
Well, its fine to me if you want to protect your sister from me
Thank you for the information brother. I just trusted the date of upload. Youtube playing games with me again.
May the Sheikh rest in peace. I am trying to learn more about our religious scholars in the most populous Muslim country on the planet.
Can I ask you a personal question? What kind of books have you read of Imam al-Shafi'i (ra)?
The Muhammadiyah movement was founded by a Indonesian scholar who had studied in Makkah back in 1912. I was not aware of this coincidence. I actually have no affiliation to any religious movement or organization and I call myself Muslim whenever somebody asks. A Sunni Muslim of the Shafi'i madhab if people want to ask more that is open to Sufism. I must frankly admit though that I have neglected my religious obligations since I landed here in Copenhagen. I plan to make up for that in the near future and certainly when my studies are finished.
Correct me if I am wrong but the Muhammadiyah movement opposes Sufi leaders as formal leaders while NU is the Sunni traditionalist movement?
In any case from what I know about and have read then the two movements are very similar and based on the same pillars of mainly Sunni Islam (Shafi'i) and a strong Tasawuf which is typical of Imam al-Shafi'i (ra). Hence why we see no real conflicts in Indonesia on this front.
I remember reading about Quraish Shihab a few months ago and I was impressed by his teachings and his knowledge of Arabic which was very good.

Well we have different taste.
A lot of Palestinians are obsessed with Oum Kalthoum,lol. Especially 40-50 range.
Good luck with your studies. It's going to be relieving once you finish. And get your money. So you can buy your own shawarma.
In women you mean? No, the last time you asked what kind of women I like (this sounds really sexist but whatever) you agreed. Well, not only Palestinians. I tell you that.
Sure it will. I am actually not doing it for money but rather as an interest. After all I had to chose some field to educate myself in and that I could chose a field that interests me was just my luck.
Dad is sending money if necessary. Don't worry.
Oh, and all the best of luck in your pre-pharmacy studies. If you desperately need help in chemistry then "call" me.
You will like this.
P.S: Be serious. Balqees is better looking than Shakira. She is too old nowadays.
Amazing stuff...that masjid is massive
Indeed brother.
@Indos do you have more footage from the visit? I have already written this mosque down as a must visit the day I visit Jakarta.
Massive seems like the appropriate word here! That's for sure.

Brother I has first now noticed that you have become a moderator. Congratulations with this very deserved appointment! I don't know if you remember but I once told you that you would be a very good choice for a moderator and the leadership apparently agreed with this verdict.
