As an NU Activist, I am so thankful to Syaikh Murad for discussing about history of Islam in Indonesia, Colonialism, Nahdhatul Ulama, and our most respected Kyai, the late Gus Dur (lahul fatihah) in such beautiful and insighful lecture!! I am so addicted to your lectures since the time of Covid 19, alhamdulillah!
Thank for your explanation about Gus Dur ( he is good President ) for my country Indonesia, Bravo for you Sir Murad, Allah blessing you always, Amin Ya Robb
The Sheikh seem know Islam in Indonesia
good president who being impeach because coruption cases
"Gitu aja ko repot?" ;) Gus Dur was so often lambasted for his very un-presidential countenance, but he was exactly what Indonesia (and I argue the world) needed in a leader.
Jazakum Allah, Syaikh. I had never imagined Syaikh would give a talk about Gusdur Rahimahu Allah.
The first time I watched Syaikh Abdul Hakim Murad was about 8 years ago. I was happy to know that there are many traditional Islamic scholaes in the west.
Salam from Sunda, Indonesia.
I am Indonesian and I grew up in east Java not far from Pesantren Tebu Ireng Jombang where Gus Dusr was born. What the the speaker said about Gus Dur Leadership was generally true based on fact and was written in our History. If I can add about three most important figures discussed by the speaker were Ahmad Dahlan (The founder of Muhammadiyah organization), Hasyim Asyari (The founder of Nahdatul Ulama Organization), and Gus Dur (The The Fourth President of Indonesia also the Grandson of Hasyim Asyari). They all brought tolerance and right pathway of Islam based on Prophet Muhammad teaching through 4 Islamic teaching Mazab (Hanafi, hambali, maliki, and safii). Here we fight or abolish radicalism in Islam principles. Islam flourishes side by side with 4 other religions. 90% population hold islam. Like his Grandfather, Gus Dur has many miracles which difficult to understand or observed for it's beyond our understanding. Later, all of his prophetic come true such as Prabowo will be the next president today
Gus Dur is a 21st century figure who has a visionary mind and remains truly grounded in matters of marginalized communities in defending the truth of their rights
I live in Lombok island (the east of Bali island in Indonesia) where the indigenous people are 100% muslim (the population is around 3 million), our tribe is called Sasak which means "The One". To qualify as a Sasak person one should be a Muslim and must be born to a Sasak family. Our island is also known as the island of a thousands mosques but we actually have many more than 1.000 mosques.
Abdurrahman Wahid as known as Gus Dur is a former president of Indonesia, also known as the father of pluralism because he really appreciates diversity, especially ethnic, religious and racial diversity and also the importance of respecting each other's differences as a diverse nation. Thank you Sir, for discussing the topic of Gus Dur. Assalamualaikum Warrahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, greetings from Indonesia 😊
Salaam from Indonesia Syaikh.... I'm Javanese, there are two Wali (Songo) tombs in the city where I live... it's beautiful how this ummah can know and learn from each other.... I'm interested in British Islam and really love your books, been to Cambridge once, brought a collection poems of A. Quilliam.... I'm so happy that people in Cambridge also appreciate our culture, it's like two different worlds yet united by Islam.... I hope one day I can attend your lecture in person
As a Muslim who belongs to the lower middle class, growing up in the freshly liberated Portuguese colony. Today Sir when I look at your stature as a Muslim intellectual, I feel redeemed of the subjugation that we Muslims went through. You are our reward🎉, and what a reward!
May Allah keep you on this road till your last breath.
I appreciate how you put all those into words. It is not easy to implement pluralism in such a diverse society. I am from Malaysia. I know that as a fact.
Important comment. Allah turns day to night and night to day. İnshallah we will see the Sun of Islam rising from the West.
I love the way you contextualize Gus Dur in post-colonnial Indonesia, making him the representation of Indonesian Islam (Muslim) and their struggle to maintain their indentity as fully Indonesia, fully Muslim.
Thank you for describing Gus Dur. It's mean a lot for us in Indonesia
as a NU scholar myself. i think this organization play a big role on maintaining peace in all across the country. creating generation that love peace and harmony. westerner should adopt our method or at least taking inspiration from us. we are peaceful and well known among the fellow westerners and non-Muslim. but we also firm on in terms of lecture and discussion.
May Allah grant health to our sheikh,Listening to him adds to my knowledge and gives new perspective to thinking
Thanks a lot from Nahdlatul Ulama - Indonesia ❤
I stumbled on this lecture and it is honestly an extraordinary outline of a contemporary Muslim leader. Jzk khair
MashaAllah, learning about Gus Dur's leadership and his dedication to Islamic values in governing Indonesia is truly inspiring.
Semoga Syeh Abdal Hakim Murad dan Gus Dur selalu diberi keberkahan dari Allah SWT...Amin
Fascinating account of, not only Gus Dur's life, but also of modern Indonesian history. I have traveled through Java several times and am well acquainted with the culture. It is a beautiful country with beautiful people. They are an asset to the ummah. May Allah bless them with success on this journey. Thank you, Shaykh.
So gland to find Muslim western scholars talk about Muslim thinker from SE asia, not many western and middle east scholars want to talk about our Islamic tradition.
Thank you Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad, salam from Java. ☺
Terima Kasih Kyai Abdal Hakim Murad atas sesi ini yang mengangkat tentang sosok Gus Dur dan kepemimpinannya. Saya menyukai penjelasan Kyai Murad pada sejumlah sesi sebelumnya, terutama tentang Walisongo, juga sosok tokoh spiritual seperti Syekh Ahmadou Bamba Senegal. Peradaban Islam berlimpah sosok pemimpin spiritual dan formal yang mengabdi dan membawa perubahan pada komunitasnya. Dan saya memandang Kyai Abdal Hakim Murad ini adalah walisongo-nya tanah Eropa - Amerika, bersama Umar Faruq Abdalla, Yahya Rhodus, Hamza Yusuf, dan lain-lain.
Very well interpretion of Indonesia...not many foreigners can do as excellent as this Syech
So much love from Indonesia ❤🇲🇨
PANCASILA is absorp from "Jakarta Charter" wich inspired by "Medina charter". so it still dont brake islamic tradition for indonesian as a new country.. basicly everybody happy..
My deep respect and reverence to Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad 💚
As an Indonesian, and proud Gusdur-ian, thanks for acknowledging his role/significance in our modern Muslim world!
From the reference to Hajj in older days in this discussion, It came to my mind that the purpose of Hajj for those Muslims who could afford it by health and money is to keep the uniformity of Deen across the globe and Pan-Isalmsium. Maybe Allah wants Muslims from every corner of the world should meet each other at Macca and Madina and learn from each other worldly knowledge and religious knowledge and take it back to their people and area for the betterment of entire humanity. What is a big way for Allah Pak to promote deen and worldly education through Hajj. The reference to classes in Macca before and after Hajj is a testimonial to this.
I am sure Hajj was another tool to keep uniformity of deen across the globe.
Maybe learned Ulema would shed more light on this topic
I think unity is more apropriate
I really hope that Malaysia and our PM Anwar Ibrahim could invite Sheikh Dr Hakim as our guest and give talk
I wish the recitation was included which started the session. It was absolutely beautiful. Literally felt every word. Was hoping to hear it again. Please upload separately if possible.
i just found out of Mevlana Syeikh Yusuf Al Makassari was the great comentator of Ibn Araby. JazakaAllah Khair Ya Syaikh. Masha Allah ❤
Lots of ❤ from Malabar
south India
Alhamdu llilah brother from Pakistan
Thanks Syaikh for bringing up this session on Islam in Indonesia & Abdurrahman Wahid
Really appreciate this talk, thank you Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad, and amen to your prayers. We’ll see how it goes with the new president (son in law of Soeharto), may Allah protect Indonesia and all of us always, through our alim ulama, among others.
Remarkable presentation Sheikh. Jazakallah khairan
Thanks for presenting such a detailed life sketch of this great Muslim of the contemporary times. The lessons drawn from it are valuable.
incredible explanation, thanks sir murad
Indonesia had so many great leader, but gusdur is the most talk leader, he is a hero for chinese-indonesian, he is a friend of any religious leader, he is polyglot, he is legend of indonesian comedy, and as politician, islamic scholar and leader it endless to talk, what a great human god ever created
Alhamdulillah sheikh Hakim Murad would told about Gus Dur (Abdurrahman Wahid)! May Allah preserve you and your work Sheikh!
جزاک اللہ خیرا. یا! شیخ

Gus Dur taught how to "humanize humans", meaning being a true human being... hopefully we can practice his role models

good to decipher this subject, i suddenly recall to the work of Mr Greg Barton in his book ; authorized biography of Abdurahman Wahid.
Salam from indonesia
Really hope sheik abdal hakim Murad does a lot MORE leadership videos. So addictive.
Also wish sheik writes more books - maybe another book on the contentions?
Ahlan wa Sahlan , Welcome to Cairo, Hatnawwar il Dinya 🎉✨🧿
63 without white hairs subhanAllah
Really hope shaykh can also tell his overview of BJ Habibie. Indonesia's third president, albeit unelected democratically, is one of the most beloved figure in Indonesia's history. Very devout muslim, deeply in love with his wife, very intelligent and has many IP in Germany. His story should be told and offers perspective of a great muslim leader of our time.
awesome 👍
Abdurrahman Wahid he is my favorite president
As-salamu aleykum, thank you sheikh for this wonderful talk. Could you please educate us about the turbulent experiences faced by Muslims in Cyprus since the British took over in the late 1800s when they leased Cyprus from the Ottomans for a century. Unfortunately, this led to the curtailing of Islam amongst Turkish Cypriots, which has led to them becoming probably one of the most secular Muslims in the world. However, despite this there has been a revival of Turkish Cypriots who are now observant of Islam especially among the younger generations and it seems especially the case in the UK diaspora. Could you also please educate us about the most prominent Turkish Cypriot Muslim sheikh of recent times Sheikh Nazim and his life and how he influenced the spread of Islam in Cyprus and how he resisted secular Turkey’s turkification of islam with its ‘Turkish ezan’. He has also been influential globally as well. If you could do this it would be amazing and inshaAllah eye opening for Turkish Cypriots worldwide. JazakumAllahu khair, thank you for your efforts Sheikh Abdal Hakim Murad and team
There is a Turkish Cypriot association called Cezire Dernegi (Jazeera association) who specialise in Islamic/Muslim history in Cyprus, you can refer to them for some guidance, they have a TH-cam channel
Back in early 2015, i and my rural shalawat group went to annual gathering for remembering one of the most respected ulama in solo, indonesia.The crowds was about thousands fully packed the streets around the mosque in the center of solo city, recite shalawats and listen to the preach, and i didn't consider, the ulama preach using english language then translated to audience, was Sheikh Hisham, and i'm not about to know about him. many times, many years now in my 40's, suddenly i read alot about Sheikh Nazim and Sheikh Hisham, Sheikh Abdullah Faiz, Sheikh Syarafuddin from youtube, internet. Now in my wall there's prints of Sheikh Nazim and Sheikh Hisham met Gus Dur. Cyprus/Qubrus is beautiful country and Sheikh Nazim and Sheikh Hisham is in my heart.. it would be amazing listen the history of Sheikh Nazim from Sheikh Abdal Hakim Murad, amazed by the detailed history of Gus Dur, our modern day ulama/kiyai and president that support the minority and humanity with his authority and we indonesians missed him so much..
Gus Dur isn't good in term of defending the power. But, He is a great leader in term of bringing change on youth santri generations. Under his influence, thousands of introvert young santri became important figures in political movements, NGO's activists, and Muslim intellectuals.
Models of how many people or teachers are needed to get a lasting movement only hold up in face of ignoring exceptions.
Those who know and practice religion will have a better result than those who just have the material resources.
It is important to realize cultural origins of problems; rather than define them in terms of blood, soil, and religion.
It is important to have an idea of the different affect of the different groups that can evangelize.
Islam is the best unifying force for a constitution, if we look at how Islamic fundamentalism bans forcing religion and doesn't make it unfair against minorities-like so-called State Religion.
It would not only be tolerant of all actual material and psychological culture, but use it. That doesn't mean they will favor what can be done with these mindsets and technology.
'The Japanese kicked the Dutch out of Indonesia and tried to encourage the Muslims worship to the emporer.
That didn't go down too well.....' 😂
Love it
Me and my big family all NU ❤
On one interview, Gus Dur explained that his supporters were ready to storm Jakarta to oppose his demotion as a president. So he came out of the presidential palace in t-shirt, shorts and sandals to "demystify" himself as a leader of the largest Islamic organization in Indonesia, to calm down his supporters, avoiding the expected blood bath and chaos that might have happened.
❤❤❤
wow
An then, after gus dur leave me and Indonesian people. We have a Aaliim person in the figure "Gus Baha". Again, "Gus Baha" always study in Indonesia, he don't go to Arabia country to learn about islamic knowledge. He's a Hafidz, Aalim Fiqh, and product of pesantren. He from Nahdlatul Ulama too. I hope islam moderate can be applied in the world. if the muslim ask about islam moderate, guys you can visit indonesia, visit pesantren and visit Nahdlatul ulama. love from santri online Gus Baha
Nggak nyangka bahas Gus Dur
😮As an Indonesian I just found out those facts
Thanks,..
from indonesia,..
It would be even better if there was an Indonesian translation...🙏🏻
There is, if you check auto translation
The story is cool. Has the book been made & published yet?
Organic of before -1 Arab Spring 00s. Baghdad 60s.
The sultanate of Jogjakarta was Ottoman representative. The Dutch could never deformed the sultanate of Jogjakarta.
My opinion, the Hamengkubuwono IX was the most influencing person to the birth of republic of Indonesia. Some Javanese considered HB IX as a Kiai. Kiai is ulama, minority of them has a very extremely good relationship with Allah and i believe the HB IX was one of the minority.
The HB IX acted as a king, on the other hand he's also acted as religious leader.
A quality which the present sultan has lost it.
Indonesian here
i didnt not expect this..., how would foreigners see our beloved former president gus dur
Any followers from nahdatul ulama here?
Believe it or not, President Gus Dur is a very kind person. he is kind to everyone, including his enemies ..
And what Gusdur is most famous for is his visionary ability, which can predict the future even with joking narratives ..
For example, when he met Jokowi when he was still very young and said that Jokowi would become president ..
In fact, Gusdur's biggest enemy was a political party called PDI, whose leadership was ousted by that party ..
However, after he died many years, Jokowi, who initially had no chance of becoming president, succeeded in becoming president after being invited to join the PDI party ..
Father or pluralism, and liberalism, Gus Dur or Abdurrahman Wahid doesn't follow his great grand father path... proud of PBNU...
can you also do this for Kalimantan or Borneo island? im Muslim live in Samarinda City and the only history i told/remember when its about the whole Kalimantan or Borneo island is that Kalimantan or Borneo people independency is later and not in 17 august.
Nahdlatul Ulama should learn a lot from this.. as like you said, Nahdlatul Ulama didn't really much develop on the philosophical work but in the other hand we urgently needed that modern interpretation of syncretism between Islam and our traditional culture values..
Recently we had a sort of like wave scholars or preachers that come from Saudi Wahhabism and a group of people called themselves "Habib" who is allegedly have a bloodline of Prophet Muhammad PBUH..
The problem is they kinda tries to infiltrate this syncretism and hijacks the institution like Pesantren from within with their ideology and personal interest. for example they calls peoples who only have different opinions about fatwa or fiqh as infidels/kafir. Or the "Habib" with their status as a descendants of the prophet can do whatever they want..
There's a practice which I think is really bizarre to see, where their follower kiss the seat their Habib used just for the sake of pursuing the "blessings" of the teaching.. or on the extreme case was the feces of their Kyai or Habib in pesantren.
Please make the lecture of Tuanku Imam Bonjol...He is a salafi....!
